Uncyclopedia talk:Vanity Policies
Report[edit]
How can I report Van pages?
- There is an archived discussion on this subject in the Village Dump, where a tenuous consensus was reached.
I was going to append a note at the end warning that there is a current discussion about changing this policy that would be a good idea to read before writing your vain article. But, alas, this page is protected. Can someone add the note for me? --User:Nintendorulez 18:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- Semi-protected now. --Splaka 02:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Listing of deleted articles ?[edit]
- Would it be possible to list deleted vanity articles as seen at Uncyclopedia:CVP, if only to get these articles off of Special:Lonelypages ? Here are the articles I've found at present time. MadMax 23:20, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Vanity isn't allowed?[edit]
Why would links to make vanity pages be put on the article when they are not allowed?

Conflict of Interest[edit]
As you all probably know, Wikipedia has renamed its vanity policy to Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I would like to propose doing something similar to this policy, not truly by moving the page but rather by any or all of the following:
- Use {{title|Uncyclopedia:<strike>Vanity</strike> Conflict of Interest Policy}}
- Create the shortcut UN:COI
- Work the term "conflict of interest" into the policy itself
- Create a new advisory template that mentions "conflict of interest"

- No. 11/11 16:27
Sorry, but can't I at least create the shortcut? (I won't even list it in the shortcut box...) Pentium5dot1 20:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Idea dropped a long time ago. Please have mercy on me. (It seems some more well-respected Uncyclopedian decided the shortcut was beneficial anyway.) Pentium5dot1 02:24, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
What are your rules on sub-Vanity, pre-Vanity and post-Vanity??[edit]
I created a page called Jesse Morrin which Opliro immediatly deleted saying "We don't care," but THIS IS NOT A VANITY PAGE AND SHOULD NOT BE DELETED UNDER THE VANITY POLICIES because JESSE MORRIN IS NOT A REAL PERSON. The whole joke was that there was a guy with a normal name who would seem to be a real guy, but he would be Oscar Wilde-esque, Chuck Norris-esque, etc.
My goal is to make Jesse Morrin regular Uncyclopedia Stereotype, like Oscar Wilde and Captian Obvious and Mr. T, but as of yet everyone has HUFFED THE PAGE. I am currently working off-line on a finished version which is actually quite good, but I forgot to put in on a CD so I couldn't bring it to school to upload it.
Please stop being such a bitch to the character of Jesse Morrin!!!

Just like to say that I disagree with this policy. The main reason I hate Wikipedia is that they deleted a VERY GOOD page I had written about myself. I Hate Wikipedia 04:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, articles on non-notable people (like you, we don't even know who you are) are deleted on wikipedia AND Uncyclopedia. --Lt. High Gen. Grue The Few The Proud, The Marines 04:30, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- You don't know who I am because I'm not using my name. If I did, you would. But, whatever. I really only started this account so I could make Discussion comments once in a blue moon, or correct an unintentional misspelling that bothers me. I'm more a freeloader.

“I think huffing jesse morrin is great, you should make more articles on 'him'”
Acceptance of article that might be classed as vanity[edit]
The article will be about me, but it's going to be about how I'm going to kill a bunch of hookers with an aftermath. Would I be breaching vanity or am I ok to go ahead? --—The preceding signed comment was added by Projectmayhem666 (talk • contribs). 15:14, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- If it's funny enough you will probably get away with it. People have before. MrN Fork you! 15:22, Mar 20
- I just realised I could make up a fictional character making this irrelevant. --—The preceding signed comment was added by Projectmayhem666 (talk • contribs). 15:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Remove the link to Geocities[edit]
Since Yahoo is killing off all of the Geocities and isn't going to allow more to be made, we should remove it from this page. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 02:46, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
