Uncyclopedia:Votes for deletion

DO...

For nominators: DO...

1. ... Find articles that suck by checking here, here and here. Many articles avoid the police for years before someone trips over them.
2. ... Read Uncyclopedia's deletion policy to make sure the article is eligible. If you abuse VFD you will be abused with the claw-end of a hammer.
3. ... Check the page-history! It may have been vandalized or just edited by morons. If so, find a better version and revert to it.
4. ... Add {{vfd}} to the article. Failure to do so may result in hemorrhoids. You have been warned.
5. ... Vote and include a comment as to why you have nominated the article.

For voters: DO...

1. ... Edit the section for the article you are addressing.
2. ... Pick a space under the appropriate heading (Keep, Delete, Comment), adding your sig/comment, preceded by a '#', like so: '''#'''This article isn't funny. ~~~~
3. ... Remember to sign and timestamp your vote with four tildes. Unsigned votes will be removed and their owners defenestrated. You have been warned, again.

For Administrators: DO...

• ... Allow 24 hours before closing a nomination or deleting an article.
• ... Remove and archive closed nominations from the voting page.
• ... Delete any unused images from deleted articles. If necessary, check what links to the article and remove any backlinks. Delete any broken redirects left behind.
• ... Add {{Oldvfd}} to the article's talk page if it is kept.

DON'T...

• ... Revert administrators.
• ... Re-nominate any kept article for at least a month. If you do, you will receive a bollocking.
• ... Remove ANYTHING from VFD if you are neither an Administrator nor a designated Poopsmith. If you do, you will be banned for a very long time.
• ... Increase the number of articles on VFD to over 20. Violators will receive a free 1-day ban. This means, do not increase the number of active votes on VFD to over twenty. Inactive votes look like this (after the page's deletion), and closed nominations look like THIS to indicate that they have been kept.

Pages for Deletion

Make sure that you have read the rules (above) and the deletion policy. Please don't nominate Main Page or Votes for Deletion; that joke has been done so many times we might just beat you with a nail bat before we tear our hair out in frustration. This also applies to Featured Articles and Uncyclopedia In-Jokes.

How to quickly find VFDable articles (using special pages):

• Check Special:DeadendPages, Special:LonelyPages and Special:UncategorizedPages. Often many articles can slip through the cracks of ICU or QVFD and remain on Uncyclopedia for very long periods before someone randomly stumbles upon them. Editors sometimes also keep useful lists on user subpages.

---

Notes for Administrators:

• Allow at least 24 hours before closing a nomination or deleting an article.
• Remember to delete any unused images from deleted articles and, if necessary, check what links to the article and remove any backlinks. Make sure to delete any broken redirects created as well.
• To avoid confusion, try to remove closed nominations which cause the page to exceed to 20 articles.
• If a nomination is kept, please add {{Oldvfd}} to the article's talk page.

---

To add an article, edit this section, and follow the directions in the comments.

---

Don't flood VFD full of articles, or at least leave a space between your nominations.

If you increase the number of articles on VFD to over 20, you will be blocked for 1 day, no exceptions. This means do not increase the number of active votes on VFD to over twenty. Inactive votes are shown with either a red link (where they have been deleted), or with the Closed nomination tag to indicate that the article has been kept. You have been warned.

Please remember to check an article's history, in case of recent or long term vandalism, before nominating an article. Also, check the article's talk page and 'What links here' for prior nominations. If the article has been nominated before there will be a link from a VFD archive page.

Barack Osama

Score: 2 Elapsed Time: 103245 hours
Keep (0)	No keep votes.
Delete (2)	Basically a carbon copy of the Baraq Hussein Osama article, only with a different name and slightly cruder humor. I've migrated most of the funny content from this article into the BHO one, so I propose this one be deleted. --EpicWinner (talk) 20:33, September 17, 2012 (UTC) Delete. This article has nothing on our legitimate Obama pages--and by also moving some of its "slightly [sic] cruder humor" there, nominator was not helping; not all poor work has to wind up somewhere. One of the "slightly cruder" pages ought to be kept, to provide kids and incompetents an outlet so they don't wind up hacking away at our good pages. Spıke ¬ 21:48 17-Sep-12 Actually, most of what I did to the Baraq Hussein Osama article involved moving some of the humor from the Barack Osama page and re-working the entire article, removing the stupidest and unfunniest bits (most of which originally came from the Barack Osama article, go figure). But yes, I agree, this article is redundant should be deleted. --EpicWinner (talk) 22:02, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

H.W. Goering

Delete (1)	This will have to be adopted by someone to improve it, otherwise I recommend a mercy killing. RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate)
Comments	We have, inexplicably, two articles on Goering--this one and Hermann Goering (politician)--and no one is going to correctly type the title of either one. The technique of morphing the gruesome Hitler officer to music acts such as Manfred Mann works for me. If this article is adopted, the adopter should merge the two and give the page a simple title. If no one adopts it, this one should lose. Spıke ¬ 20:37 17-Sep-12

Delete (2)	Just a random jumble that has been around for years. RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) Delete. Does author want to tell us why he dislikes the video game? Or does he just want a springboard for an aimless chat? In either case, I agree with the final template: "This article is terribly random." Spıke ¬ 21:43 17-Sep-12

Delete (2)	-- ENTER CITADEL T)alk C)untributions B)an 12:27, September 16, 2012 (UTC) Dumb. As always when you have to already know the punch line to type the name of the article. Also, the entire article is a single overlong pun, before it starts to digress into ramble. Separately, the tone is newsy and salesy and self-congratulatory. Spıke ¬ 14:27 16-Sep-12

Delete (3)	Hardly ever used, {{Whoops}} would do the job fine and it's not all that attractive/original. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 03:53, September 16, 2012 (UTC) Delete. Like Frosty said. Spıke ¬ 14:29 16-Sep-12 Pointless Saberwolf116 (talk) 17:07, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Keep (3)	Keep. I put a lot of work into making it presentable, and I still maintain that it is not bad enough for deletion. Saberwolf116 (talk) 17:18, September 13, 2012 (UTC) Presentable, yes. Is it funny, then? Spıke ¬ 18:46 13-Sep-12 Keep. Good enough for me. pillow talk 18:26, September 13, 2012 (UTC) Keep. Unfortunately, it just seems too factual to be funny. -- ENTER CITADEL T)alk C)untributions B)an 12:40, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
Delete (4)	Nonsense, unfunny article that deserves scrapping in my view. RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) Delete. Should have been deleted in July, nothings changed so yes burn it! ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 07:17, September 13, 2012 (UTC) Delete. This self-satisfied flight of fancy, of the Wacky War genre, is giving me deja vu--Didn't we indeed kill this once before? Spıke ¬ 10:51 13-Sep-12 ' Delete' A waste of time. mAttlobster.

Chagas disease

Score: -1 Elapsed Time: 103402 hours
Keep (3)	Keep. Well-written article about a real disease. (Found on Wikipedia without the apostrophe. Here, it is spread by the transatlantic-cruise bacterium and by a 9-stone insect: How can you say it's not close to funny?) Later, it does seem to descend into ramble, and it ought to steal a few photos from Wikipedia. Spıke ¬ 22:28 11-Sep-12 Keep. - It'd take work to make it good but it certainly isn't bad enough for deletion - jack mort | cunt | talk - 04:02, September 12, 2012 (UTC) Keep. It's not a laugh riot, but it's not deletion material. pillow talk 18:25, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
Delete (2)	Disintegrate. As a story, I will admit I found myself quietly engrossed. As an Uncyclopedia article, it's not even close to funny. Saberwolf116 (talk) 07:55, September 11, 2012 (UTC) Gayer than Christmas. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 12:08, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
Comments	Page moved, as Chagas, not Chaga, is the real discoverer's name. (Redirect retained in case some reader doesn't know this.) Spıke ¬ 18:50 14-Sep-12
