- Delete. A catalog rather than humor. Includes songs obviously about pedophilia, songs that are not but could be construed so, songs about sex under the age of majority but above the age of consent, songs about puppy-love, and songs with none of the above. Some items are accompanied by a quip or wisecrack, some are not, none have well-developed original humor. The page is about the joy of lechery (and "paedophilia" as meme) rather than the joy of writing comedy. Spıke Ѧ 18:07 1-Oct-14

Do we really need an article on this? There seems to be nothing useful here, no concept or anything. We have plenty of Jesii already. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 00:37 29 September 2014 (formerly nominator)
"Shit (literal shit)." I have no problem with the existence of the article, as it can be found with the Jesii nav-template. But this article starts with a fanboy tone, stops for a moment at the assertion that non-separatism is racist (which now in the US, I find serious and unfunny), and ends in history-of-the-future and lists. Bottom line, after the useful concept of a Rastafarian Christ, authors have nothing they actually want to say about him. Spıke Ѧ 00:43 29-Sep-14

- This appears to be nothing more than a very long and rambling rant. If you didn't know what pikeys were before, most of what you learn about them from this article is that the authors think they are terrible and know a lot of ways in which they are terrible. I can see no redeeming value here, so I say redirect it to Pikeys - Our Friends. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 00:27 8 October 2014
- Redirect. If I were not voting on huffing content but deciding whether to read on, the first sentence would veto it: Pikey literally translates to mean 'Filthy rude inbred shit',or "fat,tax averting, robbers who resort to violence and lack of personal hygiene as a way through life". The satisfaction of stating author's personal opinion in the first sentence ruins the article. (I did read on, and the rest of the article ruins itself just fine.) Replacement article uses irony expertly. Spıke Ѧ 00:36 8-Oct-14

- As the author discloses on her user page, this article is intended to make a serious point about religion and sexuality. This is exactly what it does, at the expense of being funny. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 16:11 8 October 2014
- Whatever -- weak delete The author's a preachy atheist, which is kind of a bad combination. (But then, so's a preachy Christian, and I suppose being a preachy Muslim would be kind of unfortunate too.) I dunno -- it's not quite as totally without redeeming social value as some of the other stuff she wrote but it probably deserves to be canned. Snarglefoop (talk) 16:23, October 8, 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. The only comedy theme I see is a caricature of Christians. For example, the copyright notice at the end, assigned to the Westboro Baptist Church, serves to say, "This is what would come out of their mouths, because they are so extreme." That's advocacy. Spıke Ѧ 16:35 8-Oct-14

And as Snarglefoop says, it was written by a preachy atheist, which makes it no better than an article written by a militant Christian. Uncyclopedia isn't the place for this kind of humour (I'm guessing it's some form of shock humour, but I'm not really sure), nor for informative wisecracks.

In its current state, this article is definitely fuel for the fire. However, I've made some attempts at rewriting it (on the fork, not here, not yet, maybe in a little while I'll bring it over) and I'm not sure if it's worth giving up just yet.

FWIW I see no pikeys here at all; I see middle aged hippies climbing into antique VW microbuses painted with peace signs and long-forgotten slogans, trying to recapture the spirit of the Electric Cool-aid Acid Test.

- The main reason for highlighting admins that I know of is to make it easier to flag down active ones--hence the original code that highlighted them only in recent changes, which both sites have now done away with. Highlighting them anywhere else is excessive and obnoxious, IMHO. Since we've taken the approach of making bold admins an optional CSS thing, it seems likely to me that anyone who is experienced enough to know how to use it is also experienced enough to know the active admins' names by heart, or at least where to go to get their attention. That certainly applies to me; I know who has what rights here and I've never had any use for calling them out beyond a desire to make things flashier. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 16:14 30 September 2014
And besides, we already have a link to Uncyclopedia:Active Admins at the top of recent changes, in that grey box thingy, so even the original purpose of the bold names doesn't hold any water. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 16:33 30 September 2014
- One use for our code is that it highlights edits by Admins in a diff report or a page history, for the benefit of users who are hesitant to override Admins. Separately and again, what any other website does is not a factor here. Spıke Ѧ 16:43 30-Sep-14

- Delete. Indeed, starting an encyclopedia article with personal opinion (with mark-up in case anyone didn't get the point), then "attention whore...shitty," is the mark of a rant. In the quotecruft, the author shows that he gets irony, but he doesn't get the "satire encyclopedia" genre. Then a final section: Please! don't just provide a snide deconstruction of the video; write a clever, original story that tells how this song came to exist. Spıke Ѧ 11:14 12-Oct-14
I can see how the song might deserve to be parodied, but this seems to be mostly a rant. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 04:29 12 October 2014

First paragraph discloses to us that we are about to be treated to a more or less serious portrayal of the incident. The rest of the article tries and fails to remedy this shortcoming. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 20:14 12 October 2014 It seems more like criticism than satire, even though it is over-the-top.

- Nomination suggested that the UnNews was a "serious portrayal" of a massacre; it is not. I don't agree with, nor like, its thesis, that gun crimes are evidence that the NRA (also, incidentally, Christians) are laughably wrong. The Source, a Yahoo blog about a gloating tweet "associated" with the NRA, is misleading, as the NRA never endorses crimes using guns; I think the tweet was more likely planted. But I'm not sure that any of this, or the fact that it was written by a permabanned user, justify deleting it. Spıke Ѧ 21:28 12-Oct-14
- Dunno. You have to hate the NRA pretty severely to find this funny, I think, 'cuz it's so totally contrary to reality. To be funny, I think stuff generally has to fall into the "uncanny valley" where it's almost believable, but not quite, and this is totally off the mark. To find it "almost believable" to you'd need to seriously believe the NRA was a bunch of raving lunatics.
And as to the post reported by Yahoo -- even if it was really from the NRA it was just a case of bad timing (and it was probably either auto-generated after being scheduled days before, or it was sent by someone who hadn't heard the news); it appeared to me to be entirely unrelated to the shooting incident. Snarglefoop (talk) 03:22, October 13, 2014 (UTC)
- Again, less likely to be the NRA celebrating the massacre than anti-NRA forces (I include Yahoo) trying to make hay over it. In any case, though, if the author is not already anti-NRA, he will not be laughing but will be trying to gauge what this article is advocating. Goes against my advice to authors on writing about extremists (not that that means automatic deletion). Spıke Ѧ 14:32 13-Oct-14

- Yeah, I'll step up to that task; the reason VFD is here is to ensure authors that their stuff won't be deleted without discussion, vote, and 24-hour notice; and authors should get the additional safeguard of knowing that any nominator will evaluate the whole thing. (Even the history, as the rules require, and perhaps the talk page.) If all you know is that it has a crappy Intro, repair might not require deleting the entire page. If you had gotten to the end, you would have seen a hint that this is one of the articles fleshing out Mnbvcxz's pregnancy infatuation. Some voters may view this as an inherent part of the history of Uncyclopedia. On the nomination itself, I'm abstaining. Cosgrove is a celebrity but there is no real comedy point to us speculating about her innards. We have deleted knock-offs of this meme. Spıke Ѧ 14:23 13-Oct-14

On this tine of the fork, arousal does not equal amusement. I will also echo the importance of reading the whole article, as Chess, which has a sucky intro but a perfectly good middle, was deleted on the fork in Forest Fire Week, IIRC after being tagged by someone who often does not read past the intro and has thus destroyed several perfectly good articles.

- Yuk. So after being double-barked at over wimping out after the first paragraph, I went back and read the whole thing. It is a fantasy piece of the sort dreamed up by 12 year old boys, which gave the author the chance to write "uterus" many times and even use such exciting terms as "cervix" and "reproductive system" in a few places. Unfortunately most of it is too far away from reality to be taken as anything except nonsense, and none of it is funny. Furthermore, down at the end, it mutates briefly into a Wacky War article, which doesn't really improve things.
On the plus side, the grammar and spelling are both very clean. And that'll get you a free ride on the MBTA (at least, it will if you've also got two dollars along, to put in the little 'contributions' box at the front of the bus). Snarglefoop (talk) 16:12, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

- Blasphemy! The best game ever has been transformed into... I'm not quite sure what this is. It's some kind of anti-creationist rant that was created in time for the game's 15th year, which I'll assume means the article was created simply to draw attention when it would've been topical.

- Keep/rewrite This article parodies the religious opposition that came out to the game when it was originally released. (Creatures from hell? Upside down goats-head pentagrams? Zombie soldiers that still look like people? Save our children!) The anti-Darwinism has nothing to do with the game and should be written out of the article though, in favor of making fun of overprotective parents. Perhaps it should be written from a gun control perspective instead, but it definitely has redeeming elements to it, like the monsters being cardboard and throwing rocks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Simsilikesims (talk • contribs)

- {{VFD}} added and clock reset. Spıke Ѧ 21:35 26-Oct-14
- "Since the church is primarily full of people with no capacity for intelligent thoughts...." From the entire Intro to this quote toward the end, opposition to Catholicism shouts out as the article's theme rather than humor. I defer until gamers confirm my impression that the many other items in the article have little to do either with Doom or with the church. 21:35 26-Oct-14 Simsie disputes my impression, and did a little clean-up.

- Delete. In depth analysis, stage-by-stage using maps, of a made-up conflict that only the author cares about. Complete with made-up statistics like "123,456" as well. Sir ScottPat (converse) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 09:49, October 11, 2014 (UTC)
- It is occasionally criticized for being slightly destructive. The intro--from which that sentence is taken--looked promising, but the descriptions of the conflict didn't do anything for me. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 16:27 11 October 2014
- Delete. This article about nothing keeps begging for editors' time to fix it up, while never inducing anyone to take control and make it funny. See also Comments. Spıke Ѧ 12:05 13-Oct-14

- I voted Keep last time based on Aleister doing work, a commitment that he says in the ballot he never made. I had been moved at the concept of the unknowability of a Last War; now I find the concept undeveloped and I think the bit about humanity going extinct and the author being a panda is dumb. Llwy is working on it, but the maps Anton199 likes suggest to me comic book, not encyclopedia; and the problem is the text, which needs a better comedy theme than "War so nutty!" Spıke Ѧ 16:48 11-Oct-14
- All I did was fix some spelling and formatting, and I don't see myself doing any more; I wouldn't overestimate me. It's more readable now, but no funnier. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 16:56 11 October 2014

- Replace. 1 gimmick, 0 jokes (may be more than 0 but it's too tedious to scan the article to see if there are jokes). Page title with gimmick applied to it ensures no one will search for it, or they will get exactly what they expected and will not laugh. Spıke Ѧ 10:38 19-Oct-14
- Delete. How the Hell did it not cross the author's mind that nobody can read this page? (Unless this is a prime example of the author trying to amuse himself out of confusing the readers) ConCass2 (talk) 20:32, October 20, 2014 (UTC)
- Replace with non-Pig Latin version, and probably move to Pig Latin (unless there's something there, in which case I'm not sure what we do). I am no scholar of Pig Latin and I find it about as bothersome to read as do Spike and ConCass, but I found the actual content somewhat amusing. I strongly encourage anyone whose main or sole criterion for voting delete was its unreadability to read the English version and reconsider. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 22:53 20 October 2014
- Changing above vote to Replace. That was a fun read. How can anyone on a humor wiki prefer a page that is merely a perfect encoding? Spıke Ѧ 22:55 20-Oct-14
- Replace. or something. The actual content is pretty good and the main problem seems that the article is hard to read. It would be good if it was replaced by Llwy's "translated" version, but the original should probably be kept as a subpage and linked to in the See also section, because there are people who will actually find reading the page in Pig Latin more amusing than reading it in English. Also, the page doesn't have to be deleted at all: the original one could be kept where it is now, and Llwy's version can be pasted at Pig Latin... Anton (talk) 16:19, October 21, 2014 (UTC)
- And you don't need a vote of VFD to replace a redirect that doesn't delete an Uncyclopedian's substantive work. But I won't flip my vote anyway; I don't want the gimmicky version to exist, because editors spend time polishing the codification that they could spend writing funny stuff. I recently tweaked HTBFANJS#Pages that look like the things they're about to be a little more disapproving; for instance, to cite only articles that have more than a gimmick, versus articles that pursue a gimmick unusually well. Spıke Ѧ 16:31 21-Oct-14
- Have moved the plaintext article to Pig Latin, replacing the redirect. Spıke Ѧ 23:49 23-Oct-14
- We could also have the Pig Latin and English versions side by side in the same article, with a table or something. That seems like enough of a compromise to satisfy everyone to some extent. In any case, I hope we preserve the history instead of just deleting the thing and moving 'mine' on top, because the real authors should be given credit. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 22:47 21 October 2014
- No, please! We ought not put fairness to previous authors on a par with having an article hang together and look good. A link is OK, for readers who really want Pig Latin in Pig Latin; but presenting him with multiple versions at once distracts him for the sake of someone's vanity. Spıke Ѧ 13:55 23-Oct-14

- Keep. I think it's kind of cute. I got a laugh out of it. Granted, it's a little hard to read, but I think it should stay in Pig Latin -- it just seems totally appropriate. Snarglefoop (talk) 22:43, October 20, 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. Having moved the plaintext version to Pig Latin, replacing the redirect to Igpay Atinlay, do voters still want the article about Pig Latin in Pig Latin to go away? I do. Spıke Ѧ 23:49 23-Oct-14
- Delete. If we have the article in English, having a duplicate in unreadable Pig Latin is stupid and unnecessary. ConCass2 (talk) 12:58, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
- As I said above, I think we should have one. I found reading the page on Pig Latin in Pig Latin quite amusing and very Uncyclopedia-like past-time. I know many people who will actually laugh when they see it. Anton (talk) 13:09, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
- Does it imply that no future Uncyclopedian should edit Pig Latin without (groan!) keeping Igpay Atinlay in synch? Spıke Ѧ 13:15 25-Oct-14

- Could it be a subpage maybe? (I have no opinion.) ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 02:13 24 October 2014
- In fact, it could stay right where it is, though I'd rather it not. Spıke Ѧ 10:18 25-Oct-14
- As per what I said in the first nomination, I think we should keep it somewhere. If it stays right where it is, it should have a link to the plain English version right at the beginning, however. Anton (talk) 10:25, October 25, 2014 (UTC)

- Did I already say masturbate? Indeed, this article consists almost entirely of masturbation, with a few references to religion around the edges that aren't clever enough to make it funny. User:Nikau/Jizzlam does it much better. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 20:32 29 October 2014

- This is probably the wrong place to say this, but Talk:Flying toasters isn't much better: The images on {{delete}} and {{VFDn}} are shot. The latter one especially bothers me because they have a practical use--as links for doing various things to the article. Since they're just letters, perhaps they should be replaced with regular links to avoid not only inconveniences like this one but potentially overzealous ad blockers. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 20:36 29 October 2014
