- Keep. Not a Muppet. Beyond that this is an example of what the namespace is good for. There's half a dozen decent one liners, but not enough content to call it an article of prose. Adding much more to this would potentially be overkill. Deleting this would be removing a page that has merit. Saying “It wouldn't survive in mainspace” is correct - and that's why we have other name spaces. This is better than 99% of My sojourn articles. • Puppy's talk page • 12:43 20 Feb 2013

- As "Uncyclopedia is not a catalog to things found elsewhere on the Net," I've deleted three sections that had no function but to send readers to YouTube. Pieces of this article intended to serve up true utterances of Beck by which to discredit him are advocacy, not humor, even if you think he is ridiculously funny. Some funny stuff remains
and I would like to see it merged into Glenn Beck, as "Asshat" in the title is likewise too busy being advocacy to help the reader reach the article. I assume Aleister's vote is more advocacy rather than a vote. Spıke Ѧ 14:31 15-Feb-13
- Advocacy? Are we wikipedia now? All the Fred Phelps pages are advocacy, the Hitler pages are too, I guess, and anti-Hitler pages are too, and on and on...Aleister minutes later. I remember when we moved this page to here when Glenn Beck was replaced with the other page, and there was discussion about what to call it, and Asshat won.
- I reply by boldfacing a sentence of my earlier reply. Multiple wrongs don't make a right. The Hitler pages have value added by Uncyclopedians. If you intend to reassemble the YouTube collection that I deleted, please take it to a more suitable website. Spıke Ѧ 14:41 15-Feb-13
- I strike part of my earlier reply. Glenn Beck was a FA and should not receive any orphaned pieces of this article, especially if that is not an improvement. Spıke Ѧ 16:06 15-Feb-13
- I recall when Glenn Beck was written there was some discussion about if it should replace this article, which was an established page by that time. We decided sure, as long as this page was kept around, and the discussion of what to name it was heated and laster for about a year (no it didn't, but it was discussed). I don't like the Glenn Beck page itself, it's more of an UnBooks because it's a transcript of Beck's show. This page is more encyclopedic, and I think should have remained the Beck article. And why can't we put the videos back on the talk page????? This seems a suitable place to put them, and to enjoy them at our leisure. Videos work, and many pages use them. Do we have a limit on vids (three sounds reasonable if presented well, with captions and they are appropriate to the page. The vid at UnPoetia:Well-oil birds worked so perfectly you'd think it was designed for the page) and if so, let's put a couple of them back at least. Glenn, we hardly knew ye! Aleister 12:45 16-2-'13
- Do we have a limit? My personal limit is 1; as when yesterday I cut out a section of Bear wrestler with no original comedy, designed only to share a TV show with other Uncyclopedians. Which is as close as you come to comedy in the deleted sections. We appreciate the work of cops but not enough to allow roughing up detainees; and we benefit from your skill but not when you use the website to catalog the rants of a commentator you disagree with.

- Cyberbullying? The Intro of this article claims to be about "Norwegian...NTNU student Kristian...Rovde" (whom it faults for lack of intellectual rigor) and much of the humor is in Norwegian.

- Delete. this is basically a list of bad quotes taken from articles. The last new quote was added in May, 2007. --Mn-z 19:39, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- "I pity the black fool who dont have no rapper name." A great proportion of these neither relate to the article from which they were taken from nor to the public figure (where the utteror even is a public figure) who supposedly was quoted. Almost none of them deal in double entendre or unintended meaning. That is, all of these satisfy my criteria for quoticide. Many of them advertise that they are taken from articles that are now red-links. The fact that all of them are quotable out of context suggests that none of them did much to further the comedy strategy of the article they were in. They are set out in a format as though there were a bidding war going on for them, which is not a satire of anything. Thus, the article is a tribute to the affectation of peppering other articles with bad quotations: A tribute to a writing practice that consensus was reached months ago was inadvisable. Or, perhaps, one author's Kamek-like tribute to edits he himself has made. Spıke Ѧ 19:52 20-Feb-13
- Delete. Although this has potential to be funny, the potential is never reached, and not all the bad quotes are given a price! Worse yet, this article encourages the bad practice of adding bad quotes to articles, and could grow too quickly for it to keep up with itself (with a price for each bad quote) were every bad quote from the entire of Uncyclopedia to be added to it as they are found. It has a funny idea behind it, but the humor is just not found here. -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 06:35, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

- Delete. I was going to prune this, but I don't think there is anything savable. In real life, Hitler didn't say anything witty or clever. Most people who quote Hitler are quote-mining for ammunition against their political opponents. Other Hitler quoters are looking for flashes of mad genius where there was no genius. So basically, there is little source material for this article, which is why most of the quotes are random, or "kill the Jews."

- "Does this article make me look fat?" Nominator is fighting the good fight and I don't want to discourage it. But this one isn't right. Voltaire has a single theme--Voltaire as a pimp--and it does a fair job of giving a pimp's-eye view of Voltaire's contemporaries (incidentally obviating Unquotable:Quotes in Gangsta). It doesn't change theme; rather, it has been beset by vandalism and listcruft. Unquotable:Voltaire takes a different and equally valid tack, hewing closer to the facts, but is overwhelmingly an article about things Voltaire said--

- Keep. I like the idea of these other "languages", and the unquotable pages are classic examples of these other faux languages. Besides, removing these pages should be a decision put off until the fate of the Unquotable namespace is decided, since they are linked to on the main page of the Unquotable namespace, and would require a change to that page. -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 00:36, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
- The second sentence doesn't convince me. Although having fewer articles in Unquotable biases the decision on the fate of the namespace, deleting legitimately VFD-worthy articles also provides useful data with which to make that decision. And the Unquotable main page has, essentially, a template on it. We don't shy away from VFD-ing bad wrestling articles because they appear on the Wrestling template; we do the right thing, then adjust the template. Spıke Ѧ 03:58 19-Feb-13

Individually some of these are not necessary (I would not be opposed to removing the Gangsta and the Francais, for instance) but I do like the pirate speak as an example of how to speak piratespeak and I do like the obfuscata as an example of how to speak obfuscata. Besides, those styles of writing should have their own articles (with original content, not copies of existing pages) but don't. What I'm saying is remove some of them, but not all of them at the same time, because it would mess up the layout of the Unquotable Main Page. -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 00:11, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
Vote closed. As the combining of unrelated articles into a single vote has become an issue along with the articles themselves, the vote is closed; nothing is deleted; but the usual one-month bar against (individual) renomination is not invoked. Spıke Ѧ 14:17 20-Feb-13

- Delete. I'm throwing this out to see if we want to trim back the UnQuotable project. I support its deletion, because scattershot lists of quotes are not funny. --Mn-z 10:59, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

- Unquotable is a parody of Wikiquote. This means that it's essentially a scattershot of lists of quotes. Some of these are okay, given that it's a very limited frame. Most of them are terrible. And Unquotable:Steven Wright[1] has recently been recreated, and as with previous incarnations is pretty woeful. While I'd agree with a massive trim on these pages (which I went through and trimmed out a lot of these a year ago, but VFD'd few of them), the namespace has it's place. • Puppy's talk page • 11:04 17 Feb
- Just because Wikipedia does something doesn't mean we should copy it. An example is the fork's recent "UnVoyage" which is likely to turn into Ultra-Towncruft, if it isn't forgotten in a few months. While the unquotable format does parody an actual thing, it is not particularly conducive to writing good material. There is no good reason why there should be a quote page by Charles Darwin, and not one by, say Preggobear. I could create a quote page for Preggobear, but anything I can say there can be , and probably is, said better in paragraph format in the mainspace article. --Mn-z 11:18, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, but if we tried to do a Captain Oblivious article it... well, you can see what I ended up doing with it. I've trimmed this particular page down now to remove some of the worst quotes. (Although I agree - I see no value in UnVoyage. It'll go much the same way as UnBestiary in the end.) • Puppy's talk page • 12:17 17 Feb
- My issue is that you are saving weak articles by moving them out of mainspace into a "crapspace" for lack of a better term. Articles like Captain Oblivious should stand or fall on their own merits, not hide their flaws behind a namespace. It would like moving Robotic ghost pirates to UnLegacyRandumbo:Robotic ghost pirates instead of taking it to VFD. --Mn-z 13:13, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Except that I didn't think it was VFD worthy. I felt it had merit, but not in the “frame” of mainspace. Otherwise we should delete UnDictionary because all the articles are stubs. Under that “frame”, this article works. • Puppy's talk page • 01:42 17 Feb

- Comment: While this has no value by itself, the subcategories themselves are worth keeping, and preferably in a common area. A rename to something along the lines of “Category:Lies for the gullible” or the ilk would work. • Puppy's talk page • 12:36 18 Feb 2013
- Delete. The subcategories will survive the deletion of this category, as will, of course, the pages in the category. Apart from the un-P.C. reference to "retards," this category is an epithet with no cleverness. Spıke Ѧ 13:05 18-Feb-13
- I know. I just think the deletion leaves a category gap. It's a stupid cat, though. • Puppy's talk page • 01:23 18 Feb 2013
- Most categories are in multiple meta-categories, so category deletion does not create a gap. If this category is deleted, Category:Ineffective Left Wing Propaganda, Category:Nasty Right Wing Bitches, Category:Political Bullshit, and Category:Politicians will no longer be sub-sub-categories of Category:Retards. So it isn't destroying any information, other that a "People who politics I dislike, and therefore insult (immaturely)" category. --Mn-z 13:38, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

- Delete. Randumbo with a hint of advocacy. It has largely been untouched since 2006, except for a wannabe-maintenance template. I think it might be a parody of Jehovah's Witnesses, since it seems that JC-bashers are Christians. (JC = Jesus Christ, I assume). Or maybe JC-bashers are bible thumpers.

- I believe I am the Admin to whom Mnbvcxz refers. The cases where I didn't realize something was a joke are numerous and legend. In the case I was thinking about, I patrolled an edit to this page and reported it in passing to Sannse without viewing the page as a whole. Although it does air grievances with Wikia and risks attracting trolling by resentful users and perhaps from the Fork, it is seriously funny. We ought to have room for a page imitating legalism, but with a litany not to "publish, copy, display, distribute, [or] put mayonnaise on"--especially when it already has a disclaimer at the start that it's not the real thing.
