 Delete. Orphaned, dead end, with an unguessable name; and literally in the category Total Nonsense. Remediable or scrap it? Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 00:00, 3 May 2021 (UTC)- Delete. Around here, we call this genre "Randumbo." This article, from 2019, is the sole work of ThomasEdisonThomasEdison. It reads as though he set out to write gibberish and hoped it would take flight on its own. DuckDuckGo has nothing on Basheen except
basheen.com, a website with instructions on applying for admission to various institutions; this article could be an advertisement. In my opinion, articles categorized as "total nonsense" ought all to go, or at least be traded to Illogicopedia; they tend not to be skillful nor funny. Spıke 🎙️00:12 3-May-21
- I don't know where this one was going, but it doesn't work. ❦ Llwy-ar-lawr • talk • contribs • 04:46 3 May 2021
- Delete. Wherever it was going it never got there. It may be an example of why people shouldn't edit while stoned. Snarglefoop (talk) 07:37, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. If it had redeming features I missed them. Sog1970 (talk) 14:23, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. Basheen sounds like an Irish homebrew related to Potcheen. Besides that, it's a definite fail. --

 For. Reads like a copy and paste from a magazine but without any redeeming features. Sog1970 (talk) 18:09, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

 Keep. Nominator is right, but that is a result of two edits on 26 November 2017 by Loli765 (his only contribution) that replaced the article in its entirety. Once that is undone, the article has deficiencies (red-links, first person, rambling) but isn't really VFD-worthy. Spıke 🎙️18:46 10-May-21- Keep. A bit dull, but not bad. Spike added pictures and made it look better, too. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 06:50, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- The pix were by HolUp and Romartus, as usual. Spıke 🎙️07:57 14-May-21

- Renamed from Traffic Wardens. Spıke 🎙️18:59 10-May-21
- The replacement by Loli765 didn't get flagged as suspicious because it didn't change more than 134 bytes, by sheer coincidence. The version Sog1970 saw was revision 6071876, and the following diff alone fixed a lot. My H@xx0r tools say it's an exact copy of this Telegraph.co.uk news story except for line breaks and spaces. It was a copy and paste, though not from a magazine. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 06:50, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, guileless youth! I say it was not sheer coincidence but a deliberate attempt not to be suspicious. Spıke 🎙️07:57 14-May-21

- Admin Sog1970 edited this most recently, with Edit Summary "Adding links. Still crap and also revolting". I agree and wonder why it is here. (Admins Romartus and Dark Web, White Hat have also tried to make it fit somewhere, somehow.) It is the only contribution of SCM404, from 2018. Spıke 🎙️20:58 17-May-21
- Delete. I reduced the level of grossness, but I don't think that saves it. You know what they don't say: "What this world really needs, is more fart jokes. Especially gross ones." Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 01:58, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- For. Seems unlikely that any amount of polishing would help this. Sog1970 (talk) 06:39, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- For. Burn the witch! --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 08:49, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. One-liner. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 18:20, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. Black was a native American member of Frank Zappa's group Mothers of Invention. (Recall that we saved one recent nominee on the strength of piped links.) Wikipedia states that his trademark line was, "...I'm the Indian of the group." And we have fallen-away Admin RAHB stating on the talk page, "This stays." (In protecting the page, he wrote, "Zappa reference, this stays".) In 2010, it got a second line (a passable bit of Drug Humor) but then was returned to the original concept. This is Zappa fanboyism and it has no humor. We are a satire encyclopedia, not a collection of venerable signature-lines. Spıke 🎙️18:41 16-May-21
- Delete. A possible Unc meme that never got any traction. Unlike this one. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 10:53, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. I like Zappa but I still wouldn't have known who he was, making it a very niche piece of niche-humour. Sog1970 (talk) 15:57, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. Nearby, Dark Web, White Hat noted that pages tagged for speedy administrative deletion are put in this category. Why? Why is a page in Spang's userspace in this category? We have a way to protect pages and it is called MediaWiki page protection. Spıke 🎙️20:21 19-May-21
- Delete. Special:ProtectedPages lists protected pages and allows filtering by protection level and namespace. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 20:57, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

- {{Protected}} and {{Quickdelete}} both placed pages in Category:Protected pages in some sort of mix-up. I've disabled both categorizations, leaving only Spang's page in Category:Protected pages—which, ironically, is not protected. It's been there since 2005. I've taken the liberty of disabling a similar template from tagging templates with a similar category, then deleted the empty category. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 20:57, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- All good. Deleting an empty category has always been an administrative option that does not require a vote. I've now done the same with the category under vote here and, hearing no objection, will close this ballot. Spıke 🎙️21:17 19-May-21
- Empty category is deleted. Spıke 🎙️23:34 20-May-21

Delete. Dark Web, White Hat had put {{Fix}} on this article from 2006, which was not responded to. I'm reluctant to delete it without a vote; have gotten rid of the worst of the leaden writing and found an actual comedy concept halfway in (portray blog flames as a military weapon) that the author did not stick with. Spıke 🎙️13:07 23-May-21 Delete. Deserves an article. Not this one though. Sog1970 (talk) 14:56, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

- Flip to Keep. I claim Dark Web, White Hat and I have saved it, rewriting to follow that hidden comedy concept. Spıke 🎙️18:14 24-May-21
- Keep. I second that motion, adding Spike did about two-thirds of the saving. Like Handgun, it manages to be more playful than gory or sad. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 08:57, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. Sog1970 (talk) 11:36, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Delete. If hotlinked images were removed, and cleaned up a bit, it would only be a stub. I don't think this Marvel character is particularly well-known, so isn't a good candidate for comedy. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 06:08, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

- This is so stupid, it's funny. Two paragraphs of original writing that flagrantly break the framing rules of Uncyclopedia plus most of the rules of grammar (please, no one change a word!) followed by sporked text without humor or work to bring over the photos. As William Shatner is an expert at portraying...himself on stage, so is Peter teach me to duggy; this from 2018 is his only contribution. "Literally." Spıke 🎙️10:45 25-May-21
- Flip to Keep Works for me. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 03:25, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
