Okay, following a bit of admin abuse from everyone's favorite bot where a template still transcluded into pages was deleted while the vote was only 1:4, I think it's time we sit down and talk about all the Uncyclopedia:Babel business going on here. There seem to be a lot of pages in foreign languages here that have been unmaintained in 2006. If I had to guess (and I dunno man, ask carlb or someone) I'd say that these articles were put here while hosting was still being arranged for Uncyclopedias in their own proper language. So, like, why are they still here? The foreign-language Uncyclopedias with articles here are already well-established (at least for the languages that matter) and they don't need to park their articles here anymore. What's the deal? Is there any reason we're keeping them around? If so, what? If not, can we huff them before they clog up VFD like flies to a bug zapper?

1. No one's maintaining the articles here,
2. and its not like any of us can accurately judge their quality,
3. and if they were wanted by anyone (like this fine piece of prose, for example),
4. I'm sure they would have been imported to the right wiki by now.

I say it's time to liberate the Babel namespace like we liberated Iraq and Afghanistan. --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 07:29, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

You're just racist. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 02:49, 20 Oct 2009

Per Spang. Oh, it was 1:5. I wanted it deleted but did not bother to record my vote. MrN  Fork you! 03:07, Oct 20

Did I vote? If I didn't, then you can make that 1:6. And I say just bring each page to VFD or just wait till we have another FFW and then we can kill them then. Or an admin can be all vigilant and just randomly huff them like this one guy use to do. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 20:07, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

I might start VFDing one language at a time, starting with Babel:1337. There's some valid content in Babel, but doing it one page at a time would just be excessive. --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 23:07, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Just so we're clear

Someone "suggested" I "announce" this: I am going to nominate practically everything in the Babel namespace for deletion. The foreign language pages here are unused, unmaintained and unnecessary as they have their own wikis. I will leave behind good content in English such as the Babel:APPL reskin. I will not rest. I will not sleep. I will burn your children. I will murder your sheep. And don't even get me started on what I will do to the Jews. Thank you. --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 19:48, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

No! Not my sheeeeeeeeeeeppppp!!!!!1!!--<<>> 21:34, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

What about the jew-sheep? What will happen to the poor jew-sheep?! • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Tuesday, 06:03, Oct 27 2009

So this Jewish sheep was just shorn (that's a word, I don't care what Firefox spellcheck says), and his mother sheep, not wanting him to be out on the rain without a coat of wool and maybe catch a cold, bought him two coats to wear. The sheep wears one the next day, and the mother sheep says, "What, you don't like the other coat I bought you?" --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 23:57, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Bearing in mind that Babel pages don't turn up in random page results, all you're really doing is making broken links to Babel pages. Have fun. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 02:34, 28 Oct 2009

Also, don't nominate any reskins. Obviously. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 02:36, 28 Oct 2009

I'm moderately confident that every page that links to these pages also deserves deletion. Also, is there any objection to me nominating languages at a time? I nominated Special:PrefixIndex/Babel:1337 but MrN closed it as too soon. --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 03:19, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Update

If you don't go here and vote delete, I will stand across your lawn and stare through your window menacingly. --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 20:04, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

I don't have windows. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 20:31, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

That's okay. He doesn't have a menacing stare. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:08, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

I find that "menacing" and "constipated" are interchangeable. --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 01:28, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
