  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. At first glance, it appears to be a well-written article. But if you want an article on William Wallace, this isn't one of them. This has a few references to the Braveheart character, but mostly seems to be some random work of fiction that features references to various celebrities. ConCass2 (talk) 23:06, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

  1. Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. Superficially resembles an encyclopedia article, even though its substance is ramble, the author patting himself on the back for his wisecracks, and ridiculing the Scots for wearing kilts. I've gotten rid of the worst of that, the page is a suitable placeholder on which to graft real comedy, and there are several Scots on-site who might rise to the challenge. Spıke Ѧ 04:01 2-Aug-14
    I've started a rewrite. If we want to make this funny, we're going to have to ditch the Braveheart and go for fallacies about the real Wallace. ConCass2 (talk) 19:35, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

  • Author EpicWinner "signs" yet another article with his WINNER/LOSER trademark, which is either an extreme inside joke or his candidate for a new and unneeded website meme. The article palpably wants to inform the reader more than amuse him. However, it's from earlier this same year, and EpicWinner is almost an active Uncyclopedian, who takes recommendations from others. So there might be a way to improve this short of deleting it.

  1. Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. Not delete-worthy! It has many comedy strategies other than predation. These include: The vague and conflicting definition of the age range; manipulative marketing to children; and pre-teen girls' naive obsession with fashion and acceptance. Reference to Tolkien's Lord of the 'Tweens with an actual passage from the trilogy was clever. Any article with this title will attract prurient edits; the usual remedy is to clean up the article, not delete it entirely. I'm happy to see pre-teen sexuality de-emphasized (though Pedobear should continue to get a cameo appearance). The article points to Preteen slut, which is much worse and ready to be nominated.

  • I see your point, Spike, but the thing is, the article, like I said earlier, is just about preteen girls, not preteens in general. No matter how many edits or cleanups may be made, It still seems rather off. I am also very concerned about the crude images being used there. Like ConCass mentioned earlier, an article with the title "Preteens" would make the reader expect an article about children showing off their "swag" and "style" and getting on the #YOLO bandwagon. Whilst it mentions the references to Twilight and the jokes about "Lord of the tweens", an awful lot of the article has references to rape and the vast majority of the article talks about sexuality. I forgot to point all this out, but then again, a vote is a vote HoratioMan64 (talk) 18:31, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

  1. Sigh. Has uncy become an unthinking and unreading nanny state??? This page is a feature worthy satire about all the films in which Hollywood and other perverts made films about young girls that other perverts would like to have sex with. It's a satire on an entre genre, is well written, and makes its intended case very well. For new users, this page was written by a woman, a very talented writer named Miley Spears. If we huff this, good heavens, what is the world of uncy coming to? Aleister 23:30 9=8=14
    Hi. Horatio, I apologize about my last comments, kind of harsh. I was just blowing off steam at what I see as a cultural shift here which hurts the purpose of the wiki. I'll comment about this nommed page as the case in point. The author of the piece is a user named User:Miley Spears. Please study her page and links. She is a young woman herself, not very far removed from the pre-teen years (at least it appears so), and she wrote a wonderful satire which is a "turn it on its head" satire. The page means the opposite of what it says. She shows us that Hollywood has had a long term run of presenting young girls as sexual objects. That's a history which Miley Spears (and her name itself should give us a clue as to her awareness of society's focus on youth sexuality) - finds reprehensible. That's the theme of the page. To push what they've done into the reader's face, to shove it in there so deep, to show them, from their own disgust, just how reprehensible the practice comes across to Miley. Being a good satire writer she, through the vehicle of satire, is able to make the reader aware of this reprehensible pattern which is seldom talked about in polite society. That's what uncy is for, regarding some aspects of writing, to offer a place for authors to play in which publishes articles like this which serve exactly the purpose that they were written for. That's my personal take on it, and the author, who no longer writes here (a loss to us) may or may not agree with me. I think she would. So could you please at least read the page again from that point-of-view, and see if it at least is as valid as your present point-of-view. Thanks man, and my apologies again. Aleister 3:14 10-8-14

  • I'm afraid I'll vote against it. The author of the article is not Miley Spears but another person and her contributions to the article were not very significant, so that she doesn't even mention it on her user page. I wouldn't have noticed the Hollywood criticism aspect without Aleister's explanation, and to be honest I still don't notice it. What I notice is that the author (not Miley Spears) has a strange obsession with sex positions, which include children and that he is trying to rewrite various movie scripts to include sex with children. I don't see how this makes fun of anything. I don't understand how this is feature-worthy material. Aleister, it seems like we're talking about different articles here.

  1. I personally think this can go, maybe there is a joke I do not understand, maybe there isn't. All I can say is that not even the other Uncyclopedia wanted it and that's saying something.

  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. I wouldn't mind an article on a non-existent film, just as long as it's funny. Also, the title even misspells "Glyndŵr". Believe me, they're two completely different sounds. This isn't a good omen, and it is accurate in that. ConCass2 (talk) 15:56, August 6, 2014 (UTC)
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Taking nominator's word that no comparable movie exists, the page title is something no one will look up unless he exactly guesses the author's joke. (On the other hand, lack of a mark from a foreign language is not a VFD offense.) So, someone made a movie about Glyndŵr, who according to the Intro is either a person or a movement; it had a lot of slapstick that plays out best in the author's mind; and the movie "is shit." Unchanged except for tweaking of lists since Picton created it in 2009. Spıke Ѧ 17:00 6-Aug-14

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. I looked up Owain Glyndŵr a few days ago, and this article appears in the search box. You don't have to guess the exact name of the article to stumble across it. I think the concept is pretty funny, however it is clearly in need of editing. I feel that it can be turned into a reasonable article with a bit of tweaking. Also I believe the article is loosely based on a movie called "Mike Bassett: England Manager". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Steveyt0 (talk • contribs)
    All right, you have shown that someone might "stumble across it" — notably, someone who was trying to stumble across it; but answer the VFD question: Is it a good article? Is it funny in the least? Is it at the best name? Spıke Ѧ 16:24 7-Aug-14
    I think the concept (of Owain Glyndŵr being transported into the 21st century to coach the Welsh national football team ) is reasonably funny, however I do not think it's a "good" article as it is, I think it would need substantial editing. There is very little funny about the article other than the concept, I would suggest that it should perhaps be completely re-written. I would move the article to "Owain Glyndŵr", he is well known inside Wales, he's the Welsh equivalent of William Wallace. I don't find it unlikely that Welsh people might search for him, I did --Steveyt0 (talk) 20:18, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

  • Administratively deleted. A page containing only "I don't know who Dan Kwon is but I have arbitrarily decided that he sucks balls" (hint: Wikipedia doesn't know either) is not an Uncyclopedia article.

    This was by the same author as Fisher Price, which is what makes it a bit of Uncyc history. And honestly I think it's a funnier article than Fisher Price.

    Anon created the first draft of this, whose text was identical to the last draft, and it is not the same IP that created the first draft of Fisher Price.

  • This is the last version that was entirely the original author's work, and it may be better than the current one. Or it may not.

    • I think that one is better, but I still see it as a pretty straight write-up of what people think about cutting, rather than a humorous twist on it. Hav a look at the second paragraph of the section headed "A few simple ways to avoid cutting", maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see a single joke in there. Much of the rest is the same -- sannse<staff/> (talk) 21:43, August 27, 2014 (UTC)
      Again, I've merged the various versions; be sure you are evaluating the current ("our best" version). A piece of the text you highlight (now a separate bullet), about tension build-up in younger teens (linked to Emo) is too subtle and I just cut it out. But I do see jokes in there, mostly the "humor of repetition" — especially when the author repeats "compulsive behaviours." It does read like a spork of a serious treatise, with not our best comedy applied to it, but not deleteworthy. Ridiculing various neuroses is fair game. Spıke Ѧ 21:59 27-Aug-14

    You mean "without", dear. And we (almost) all have our areas where the balance of humor to distaste goes steeply in one direction or the other.
