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.

Manos: The Hands of Fate

Score: 2 Elapsed Time: 103842 hours
Keep (0)	No keep votes.
Delete (2)	Alternates between awful humour and a straight-faced attack on how awful the film is. EpicAwesomeness (talk) 16:05, September 3, 2012 (UTC) What's the difference between Manos: The Hands of Fate and this article? MTHOF is funny. -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 17:15, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
Comments	The humor fails because the author has competing agendas: not just a serious attack on the film, but heavy self-promotion ("don't fall asleep, even if I'm trying to make it more entertaining"). Will not vote Delete because I haven't seen the film and can't tell what is topical; also, it's a real article about a real film--just poorly done. Spıke ¬ 21:36 3-Sep-12

Delete (3)	Well, this has been festering as a << WORK IN PROGRESS >> for two odd years now. There's the odd good bit, but it mostly reads like it's been written by a graphic designer. EpicAwesomeness (talk) 15:50, September 3, 2012 (UTC) Okay, then... -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 17:11, September 3, 2012 (UTC) Delete. Substantive editing actually ended over three years ago. Abandoned article; huff. PS--Shouldn't an article on graphic design have some graphics? Spıke ¬ 21:40 3-Sep-12

This deliberately stupid article is not saved by in-the-style-of-the-thing-it's-about. Agree that such an article written by Anon last Saturday could be huffed without a vote. Spıke ¬ 21:44 3-Sep-12

Tourette's Syndrome

Score: -3 Elapsed Time: 103868 hours
Keep (5)	No. How can you delete this?--WELCOME TO UNCYCLOPEDIA HELL!!!! 14:06, September 2, 2012 (UTC) Keep. A real article about a real medical condition, written in the style of the thing it is about. God-awful formatting is not best remedied by deletion. (I've deleted half of the templates at the start.) It doesn't take genius to write an article on Tourette's whose only real joke is a thousand Tourette's-like outbursts, but the article does what it tried to do. Spıke ¬ 14:22 2-Sep-12 ɹǝuoq. -- ENTER CITADEL T)alk C)untributions B)an 17:37, September 2, 2012 (UTC) Not not without its not flaws. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 23:14, September 2, 2012 (UTC) Classic. -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 17:10, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
Delete (2)	Something of an in-joke, but still god-awfully formatted and seriously unfunny. EpicAwesomeness (talk) 14:03, September 2, 2012 (UTC) Whats the joke? ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 20:57, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Another template tries to interpret the page for the reader, when the page should just jump in and deliver results. No, in fact the template is Sell, sell, sell. Also, what Frosty said.

Repossession

Score: -2 Elapsed Time: 103936 hours
Keep (3)	Fixed. This is a real article about a real thing, occasionally of intense interest to some of us. If it could only be light-hearted rather than the diary of a butt-hurt deadbeat. I've copy-edited it, though I had no new material to add to it, not having been repossessed. Spıke ¬ 18:06 30-Aug-12 Seems pretty good to me. -- Sir Xam Ralco the Mediocre 20:04, August 30, 2012 (UTC) Keep. SPIKE has make it good. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 11:17, August 31, 2012 (UTC)

John Redwood

Score: 0 Elapsed Time: 103936 hours
Keep (3)	Keep. It's an article about a British political figure and, to be honest, people arguing that it should be deleted because it's of no interest to them are barely arguing at all. --Zarbag (talk) 18:44, September 3, 2012 (UTC) Keep. I am also not an expert on European politics, but the fact that I don't care, nor know enough to understand most of the humor, doesn't mean no one else will. It is a real page about a real celebrity. It does need work, as it begins with drivel including a fake quote, a nonsense number, and extraterrestrial babble; and most of the rest seems to be a hatchet job. Spıke ¬ 17:54 30-Aug-12 Keep. He's fairly well known in the UK and is both a genius and a complete lunatic. Satirists love him: easy pickings. --Thankyoubloke (talk) 21:18, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
Delete (3)	Obliterate. A boring article about a person no-one cares about. Because I'm not an expert on European politics I fail to see the point in keeping this article. -- ENTER CITADEL T)alk C)untributions B)an 17:20, August 30, 2012 (UTC) Delete -- The Zombiebaron 17:52, August 30, 2012 (UTC) Disintegrate. Very random and too obvious humo(u)r. Saberwolf116 (talk) 03:54, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
Comments	Comment. Most of it appears to be Zarbag so we could ask him to at least update the article. Redwood's nickname was the 'vulcan' as he looks like Spock from Star Trek and was a Conservative government minister in the 90s. Saying all that, the article isn't good. I will leave a message on Zarbag's page. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 20:03, September 2, 2012 (UTC) Comment. The "extraterrestrial babble" is because Redwood is widely mocked in the UK for his lack of emotion and general "humanity" which saw him dubbed a "vulcan" in the 1990s. --Zarbag (talk) 18:44, September 3, 2012 (UTC) Thanks; then I will write that rather than "Zloooooooooook"--which is, exactly, babble.
