  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Over-the-top humor about gay people, that relates to a fictional robot's brother who doesn't exist in the Transformers franchise? It mentions goatse three times. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 09:17, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Less bad now because there is less of it, but what's left is still thoroughly bad. Apparently based on mentions in Urban Dictionary (a fictional character, or "what to call a douche-bag when 'fag' doesn't cut it"). A 2009-10 article by Maniac1075, nuff said? Still more anti-gay than funny. No one will miss it. Let it "live on forever now in the memory of every gay mans [sic] ass." ??? Spıke 🎙️13:12 5-Feb-22

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. The comedy strategy of this article is that the encyclopedia writer is a fool who doesn't understand the term or even how to write correctly. This is not stated on the talk page but only in So So's defense of the article in a ballot from 2006. What the rest of us take away is a poorly written article. ElectricGirl123 has been diligently trying to correct the English, and has a long way to go. Will the result be decent reading? Spıke 🎙️11:34 7-Feb-22

  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Start over! MacArthur was not just "distinguished" but opinionated: plenty of hooks for comedy. This block of Randumbo uses none of them and its minor characters seem to be vanity/CB. Spıke 🎙️11:20 12-Feb-22
  3. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Very weird article, not funny at all and isn't even fit to be called an article. This article seems unfixable for me and I have no idea what to do with it. I know I said you're better off fixing the article rather than just deleting it whole, this so called "article" is almost "unfixable" (as I said before). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ElectricGirl123 (talk • contribs) 18:00, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

  1. Nuclear Explosion Seal.PNG Obliterate. This is upsetting. An anatomical diagram of a guinea pig's guts, necrophilia/rape jokes, fat jokes, slurs/foul language, and ethnic stereotypes intersperse cliches and implausible, offensive history.

UnNews:Hidden racist comments found in Borat film

Delete (3)
  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. In 2006, Anon typed this puddle of drool in a single sitting. All of its comedy is derived from the comedy of the Borat character, or is toilet humor or shock humor, as though Borat's racism made it open season to write original racism. Dark Web, White Hat has just stumbled on it and brought it up to house style, but it still sucks. Spıke 🎙️21:00 17-Feb-22
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. This is an UnUnNews article!

Sometimes my genius is almost frightening. OnePunch Talk to me 04:56, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
  3. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Re-watched relevant scene in Borat. This is not profound art lampooning the original film; this UnNews piece is disproportionate to Sacha Baron Cohen's brief and incidental sketch about learning to talk like a black guy.

Was Hitler a Nazi?

Score: 4 • voting closed
Delete (4)
  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. A Nazi was a proponent of National Socialism in Germany in the 1930s. Adolf Hitler was Führer (leader) of the Nazi Party, qualifying him to be a Nazi, beyond question. I think the article's author meant to ask "was Hitler a nice guy?"; and the article breezily concludes "yes", which is bias. Humor is what's important here, and I contend the article is too brief on too delicate a subject to be funny. Adolf Hitler was a well-developed feature, for comparison. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 04:29, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Overtly takes the form of advocacy, not an encyclopedia article. One paragraph and two lists. Not even well-enough done for UnDebate. Dittos "too brief on too delicate a subject to be funny." Wacky Holocaust? Spıke 🎙️11:38 23-Feb-22

  • Since Hitler is 100% a Nazi, I think the 'joke' is that since he also did some 'good' things he was a 'nice' guy, which therefore means that there is no way he is an evil Nazi. The only problem I have with it is that it is a stub. OnePunch Talk to me 04:35, 23-Feb-22
  • In a time of Neo-Nazis I sometimes wonder who's joking. The first revision by an anon began with "Hitler was actually a nice guy", ended with "Hitler was a good guy", and had an edit summary of "Hitler was a good guy?". Comedy pieces along the lines of '[famous figure] isn't who you think they are' typically use less advocacy and more absurdity. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 06:51, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Hitler delivered order and not just Holocaust. I've worked with Germans who longed for the orderly old days (though none who touted the Holocaust). To his credit, author doesn't advance this serious point but opts for goofy. Spıke 🎙️11:38 23-Feb-22

  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Not sure what this is. If it were about a real – even obscure – Vietnamese rapper, it could be prettied up and integrated more into the wiki (there are no mainspace links). But I can't find a Wikipedia entry, and the artist by this name on Soundcloud is unrelated. "Vietcong records" and "Agent Orange magazine" seem to be strange jokes about the Vietnam War. I don't see where this article is taking the subject. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 18:40, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Relies on trite comedy strategy of stereotypes and insults. Of the same caliber as the old George Dubya Bush article (now deleted).--OculusWild (talk) 07:14, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Redirect. This article's comedy is easily misinterpreted for a rant, if it isn't a rant, and has attracted drive-by edits hating on or defending Obama without comedic point. (An understated comedic point that was in Barack Osama: wryly embrace contradictory labels like Atheist and Muslim / Nazi and Communist). The section on Jeremiah Wright is funny; the rest of the article, such as the digression into Biden's sexuality, rambles and goes for lowbrow jokes. OculusWild/Abacab333 has done more work on this article (44 edits) than anyone (followed by the creator at 26 of 350+), so his assessment carries weight here as a primary contributor. He nommed it for deletion in 2015 after working on it; by first moving inline digressions into footnotes, then killing half of them; and turning lists into prose. A redirect would point readers to our better article while preserving history that could be salvaged for parts. I like the lightsaber image... Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 11:17, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
    (1) That an article is a vandal magnet is not an argument for deletion. (2) How do we "preserv[e] history" by VFDing it? (3) Yes, the article is mostly a rant. Spıke 🎙️11:40 26-Feb-22
    (1) I'm saying its purpose as a creative outlet is misunderstood by newbies to be a rant page accepting new complaints (2) I proposed middle ground, by replacing the page with #REDIRECT [[Barack Obama]] without actually deleting it. The history would remain in the page history archive of the redirect. It's not quite a delete and not quite a keep. I see little value in the article and would otherwise vote "Delete and redirect".

  • I'm on the fence. Our Barack Obama (written by Brits) was quickly featured and the only way to write about Obama was to take advantage of our perennial eagerness to host multiple articles on the same subject with slightly different names; I did Barack Obama's birth and there's one on his Teleprompter. Yes, the strategy of this article is mostly not comedy but overt disparagement; but it is a real article and well-produced. We'd keep it to preserve our history, not because anyone, even I, will want to work on it. We probably should not recommend readers to it in the nav-template. Spıke 🎙️12:54 25-Feb-22
    Quickly nommed for feature, I think you mean. Uncyclopedia:VFH/Barack Obama and Uncyclopedia:VFH/Barack Obama (2nd nom) both failed, though the first nomination concluded 13:6. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 11:17, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

  • I merged 100+ revisions of Baraq Hussein Soetoro into Baraq Hussein Osama (the page was moved at least once, but by a glitch the edit history didn't move with it). This makes it more apparent that the earliest revision was made February 2007, older than the earliest non-deleted version of Barack Obama. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 07:14, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
