- Delete. Crowdsourcing a page deliberately full of gibberish is one-time mirth for the instigator and a waste of time for all the readers who arrive later. Spıke 🎙️16:33 4-Mar-22
- Steal the page and stash it where deleted pages go. We don't need to encourage vandalism. Some of the theft has gone unnoticed and detracts from others' works. The story it made wasn't impressive anyway. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 00:49, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- It didn't register with me that additions here were to be subtracted from articles in the encyclopedia! If I could cast two Delete votes, I would! and thank you for repairing some of the resulting damage! Spıke 🎙️01:07 7-Mar-22

- As background, the article directs readers to "cut 3 words" from a random article and paste them in. Some cut words that were arguably surplusage. Others simply vandalized to be part of the Movement. Spıke 🎙️01:17 7-Mar-22

- Delete. First it was Baby Throwing Foundation of America and then it was Baby conveyor belt. Now it's "female Dominatrix babies"
and "Aborted Foetuses (with juice)"? Huh and ew. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 07:02, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Remarkably well-written except for the lists, which are now gone. (Even "dominatrix babies" is okay for a capture of Lesbos!) Who added the template calling for images? ew! But Romartus might be able to pull it off. Unfortunate digressions to gore and testicles can be edited out. Spıke 🎙️11:20 15-Mar-22
- Keep. Added images make all the difference. RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 16:52, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

- Renamed from Baby Catapult. Spıke 🎙️16:44 15-Mar-22
- I realize consensus saves this article; but I maintain my gestural vote to delete because, as a female, the concept of baby ammunition or baby mutilation in any form is just not funny a premise (seriously, how is this the third article on the topic?). I do recognize the objectionable bits have been toned down, and the images are not horrifying. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 02:48, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- (In fact, even absence of consensus saves an article.) So your position now boils down to: The topic should be taboo. I disagree. We have titles suggesting blasphemy, trivialization of Jesus and Hitler, and the N-word itself. The key is for the text to be a good read not conveying either advocacy or hostility. And even the macabre title of this article is open to ambiguity, which I play with in its opening sentence. Spıke 🎙️13:00 16-Mar-22
- (Post-archival comment) More accurately, my position now boils down to: fictional weaponry (that is also taboo) ranks among humor topics I find more stupid than funny, even though this one was fixed up pretty well. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 08:56, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

- Moved from User talk:Spike
(You misrepresented my point and then closed the ballot before I could clarify.)
My position on Baby catapult was not simply that it was taboo and that babies are precious. I'm not calling for all black comedy to systematically be eliminated. My opposition was that the article is inane: it lacks a real-world counterpart, imparts nothing as its core message or driving point, and falls flat to me with its mock historical chronology. Fictional weaponry isn't automatically funny to me—it comes off as uninspired, irrelevant, and downright stupid. Taboo subjects have to work harder to remain amusing, and ability to expand an article with jokes doesn't mean it's a worthwhile topic to develop. Violent or morbid subjects just get on my nerves when they have nothing to say.
Hence, I made the comment to express that leaving my Against vote as-is was intentional, and that from my perspective I don't find the topical basis entertaining, even if it was expanded fairly well. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 09:48, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- I expected a response from you and waited a day after my comment before closing the ballot, and the usual 24 hours more before archiving it. (You could reply on a closed ballot, despite all that gray that tells everyone, "Don't read this!") I agree with you on choosing a topic well; fictional weaponry is an unwise choice, like Wacky Wars and Diseases I Just Invented. This one seemed adequate to me (after group resuscitation). Spıke 🎙️11:23 19-Mar-22
- Okay. I was late responding. Didn't know I could comment after the fact. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 09:27, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. Wacky nation cruft, terribly written.--OculusWild (talk) 06:25, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Part of a fanfiction story arc by MeatLoafFan. Ugly on many levels. Repellent Intro doesn't tell the reader why he should continue, and in fact, he is better off not doing so. Spıke 🎙️11:55 17-Mar-22
- Delete. nope!Sog1970 (talk) 10:43, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Per the same. "Lord Babin" seems to be an inside joke or navelism, too. Dark Web, White Hat (talk) 08:24, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, it was self-reference snuck in after-the-fact by Dracono100. Spıke 🎙️12:23 21-Mar-22
