Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Don't give the developers ideas
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result of the discussion was: keep. Clearly intended as humor. Does not attack any specific person or group, so does not appear to be libelous. The phrase "life is a bitch" is a little crude, but not so shockingly offensive that we should delete this as being not "appropriate for editors or readers to view". ♠PMC♠ (talk) 20:57, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Most likely an attack page. If you take a look at this section, you can see that its content is profane and too libelious for such an essay. It would not be appropriate for editors or readers to view. XfDWatcher (talk) 05:06, 6 February 2017 (UTC) — XfDWatcher (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Keep - an essay consisting of commentary about giving the developers ideas that is clearly marked as humor which has been around since 2006. I wouldn't be opposed to marking it as {{historical}}. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 03:47, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep and mark historical, per Godsy. -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 04:14, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete: Not as funny. That section is way too shocking for me. 2600:1:B108:8BA7:AC77:4F76:3F8A:3FF3 (talk) 03:45, 9 February 2017 (UTC) — 2600:1:B108:8BA7:AC77:4F76:3F8A:3FF3 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Is the shocking part the reference to life being a bitch? Because that's an existing expression. It's certainly not libelous. Reach Out to the Truth 04:21, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete: Do not say that. Considering it inappropriate, and the fact that Wikipedia is not censored, I wouldn't allow any humorous essay to be too libelious and an attack page. Wouldn't it be deleted under G10? 2600:1:B108:8BA7:A17F:3C37:A10E:F85A (talk) 04:35, 9 February 2017 (UTC) — 2600:1:B108:8BA7:A17F:3C37:A10E:F85A (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Keep It's not libel. It's not an attack page. It's not very profane. It is funny. Meters (talk) 01:52, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep obviously. The word "libel" keeps getting thrown around so I'd like to ask XfDWatcher: who is this libelous against? It can't be libel without a target. Further, it looks to me that the two anon delete !votes write very similarly to the nominator. Just something I've noticed. —Non-Dropframe talk 20:10, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
