Recurring jokes on Slashdot

Pure original research (identifying things as recurring jokes) without any secondary sources (sites other than slashdot). Fundamentally inappropriate for wikipedia. Precedent would be something like List of YTMND fads, which was redirected back to the the main article. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 20:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per Bwithh. Interesting article, but it doesn't really belong on Wikipedia. —Whomp (myedits) 21:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete To tell the truth, this article isn't quite as bad as I expected it to be, but it's still bad. Many of these aren't exclusive to Slashdot, and quite a few are obscure enough that even longtime Slashdot readers wouldn't recognise them. The most visible running gag of all (using CowboyNeal in the poll answers) isn't covered. Cleanup would be pointless, as collecting other websites' jokes and trivia just isn't a job for an encyclopedia. If anyone feels this is worth documenting, they should do it on Slashdot itself or on their own website. Wikipedia isn't the place. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
