  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. An article that will never be improved. Abandoned nonsense. --Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 10:55, July 3, 2018 (UTC)
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete.. Worthless as proven by the number of editors that have taken a shot. "Engrish" is irritatingly bad. Another gaming article that fails on many levels including failing to say anything about the game. --Nigel Scribbler sig2.png (talk) 20:19, July 3, 2018 (UTC)
  3. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. This is horrible. Sir Roger (talk) 04:57, October 27, 2018 (UTC)

  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Dreary dull --Nigel Scribbler sig2.png (talk) 07:38, February 12, 2019 (UTC)
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. What he said. Two paragraphs of stand-up comedy, hold the comedy. Spıke 🎙️16:52 19-May-19
  3. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Looked bad at first glance (short, no image, just text). But then the first few words were not great, but also not horrible; hope was kindled. One and a half sentences in it was still just kind of poor, not really "OMG WHY" material -- and then we got the the pointless aids reference and the shekels and some massive slices of stupid, and then it really marched over a cliff.... Snarglefoop (talk) 05:19, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
  4. This has potential, and we should have an article on this topic, but it's not suitable as is. Could use expansion. There was some stuff on this in "The War Prayer". "Love? What does marriage have to do with love?" ... and then later he realizes "My shoes are too tight, but I've forgotten how to dance". ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 06:11 31 May 2019

  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. "This reads like a thinly-veiled ad for a website." So wrote Llwy-ar-lawr in the Edit Summary when cleaning out numerous links to the actual website. What remains, though, still does; employing "comedy strategies" like talking about boobs and Reverse Psychology (Don't visit this website). Spıke 🎙️18:16 6-Jun-19
    The Edit Summary continued, "taking in a somewhat different direction". Then take it in a radically different direction. For example, a wiki about "boobs" meaning blunders, or "boobs" meaning clumsy persons. An entire wiki devoted to that niche topic! And the reader asks himself, so why does the subject keep coming back to female breasts?! Spıke 🎙️03:27 7-Jun-19

  • Google Analytics told me someone was reading this page. I had a look and decided it wasn't really something we want our readers to land on. I'm working on a partial rewrite, but the result of that may still not be worth keeping. I don't think it's well-known or notable. wikipedia:Boobpedia has been deleted multiple times. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 18:46 6 June 2019
  • So, apparently this was worse before it was fixed up. I feel validated in my decision not to look at it at that time. Snarglefoop (talk) 19:54, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Well, it's... better? Maybe. I'll try and poke at it some more. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 20:59 6 June 2019
  • Kept. No longer reads like a thinly-veiled ad for a website. You may take a VFD save if you really want to own it. I worked a little on the tone (no longer a sixth-grader on a stage, wagging his finger), and made it more ambiguous what boobs are, but I'd like to see it totally converted into a double entendre, an article about breast fixation that never says so.

  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. -- Plagiarism and not funny. Body of the article was lifted from Wikipedia with some rather pointless framing text added around it. (If somebody feels like doing "dino articles" and can think of something funny to say about a random dead reptile, it could be entirely rewritten, which might save it.) -- Snarglefoop (talk) 22:27, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. What he said. Authors lifted text from Wikipedia, didn't even fix red-links, and added a two-sentence druggie-meme prolog. Spıke 🎙️22:45 22-May-19
  3. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Largely unfunny stub. Stole somebody's intact cartoon, too. --Nigel Scribbler sig2.png (talk) 02:46, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

  • This nomination has supposedly been open for "1 hours". Could anything be done about that, or is it too complicated? Also I don't think I ever realized it was a link until the external link arrows appeared. (On Wikia, local fullurls aren't given the normal external link styles. This is not a feature of default MediaWiki.)
    It's technically permissible to copy text from Wikipedia with proper attribution, but it wasn't done here. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 00:29 23 May 2019
    Attribution isn't the problem here; humor is. It's fair to present a funny rendition of a Wikipedia page; this guy presents a lightly vandalized one. Meanwhile, any time you spend trying to get the singular to render correctly, while numerous other fires are burning on-board, would be a grievous waste. Spıke 🎙️01:40 23-May-19
    Well, yes -- it's something to put at the bottom of the to-do list, underneath choosing a color for the bike shed. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 04:25 23 May 2019

  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Like the previous nomination on dinosaurs, this single-paragraph article seems to have been created by lifting a paragraph from Wikipedia and lightly vandalizing it. The only theme and comedy strategy seems to be the drug meme. Spıke 🎙️01:49 23-May-19
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Nothing worse than badly sporking/plagiarizing a terrible one-paragraph Wikipedia article that deserves deletion itself. --Nigel Scribbler sig2.png (talk) 02:31, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
  3. The article it's based on isn't even good to begin with. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 02:52 23 May 2019
  4. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Ugh. A bad parody of a depressing article about a book I really would not want to read. If there's something funny here it escapes me. (It (the book, I mean) might be somewhat educational or something but that could be said of a lot of things I'd rather not experience.) -- Snarglefoop (talk) 02:28, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia2.0

  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. It's terrible. --Laurels.gifRomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 00:58, January 31, 2019 (UTC)
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Fundamentally, this article is a directory of other Uncyclopedia-like wikis on Pioneer's home wiki farm, Miraheze, and is not of general interest. Uncyclopedia2.0 is one of two, one-person, self-styled replacements for Wikia Uncyclopedia, which if all goes well the current website should do just fine at and not be one-person. It is a tour guide to various alternatives to being here (including my news site TheMirror), which should be covered by our rule against using Uncyclopedia to send traffic elsewhere, even with Scribbler's improvements. Jaunty stand-up-comedy style starts early and isn't entertaining. Spıke 🎙️16:45 19-May-19

  1. Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. Changed vote. Much improved, cutting out the ESL junk (mostly) and adding humor. Needs more, though. Can't survive on namedropping alone.--Nigel Scribbler sig2.png (talk) 08:03, April 11, 2019 (UTC)

  • The Pioneer is ESL and it shows. I'm not sure this should be here either, even with proofreading -- it's too obscure and internal a subject, and there's not much to say about it. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 00:43 31 January 2019
    Hardly. his English is better than mine: Forum:Switching ja interwiki link to the new Ansaikuropedia. --Nigel Scribbler sig2.png (talk) 01:27, January 31, 2019 (UTC)
    In discussions he seems almost like a native speaker, but in articles he doesn't. His other ones had issues too. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 01:52 31 January 2019
    Speaking as someone who started trying to learn a second language in fourth grade, and has continued to make such attempts (with various languages) for numerous succeeding decades, and who has generally failed miserably to master anything except American English, I'd just like to say that the Pioneer's English is pretty darn good. (Just sayin....) -- Snarglefoop (talk) 02:03, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
    I too think he is excellent at English. But deficiencies in that department are repairable without deleting the article (we used to have volunteers to do so). Spıke 🎙️02:42 23-May-19
  • I don't see any fixed version. Did I fail to import something? ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 04:12 21 May 2019
    It was more OCD originally; there is some left. I did not edit anything significant here. And it's still a stub that looks like an ad. --Nigel Scribbler sig2.png (talk) 03:01, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
    The only edit by you in the history is the addition of {{VFD}}. You made comments suggesting that you edited the article text. If you did, it didn't come over. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 01:36 26 May 2019
    Pioneer cut out the "ESL"-type stuff (mostly), not me. My bad ESL? Further discussion here:User_talk:Nigel_Scribbler#Uncyclopedia2.0_on_VFD --Nigel Scribbler sig2.png (talk) 21:21, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Kept. This ballot is stuck. Most Uncyclopedians don't want to vote. I am all for giving it the required month and renominating to see if we can delete it for extreme unnotability and its function as an advertisement of a competing website. Spıke 🎙️10:30 22-Jun-19
