Wikipedia:Most smartest Wikimedia decisions

Supposedly "humorous", but instead dripping with sarcasm, and not funny at all. A pointless (or rather, WP:POINTy) page. Simply not helpful to the project, and should not be in project space. Userfy it or delete it. — This, that and the other (talk) 06:36, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet - ridiculously premature kneejerk nomination - David Gerard (talk) 07:01, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as noted humor: I think humor is needed during this time of severe stress about the wp:VisualEditor (VE), to help diffuse tensions about all the related problems, and hundreds of mangled pages being edited by VE. Otherwise, the levels of hostility have no relief valve, for the intense reactions, and indignant outrage of installing a limited, neophyte product known to garble text in numerous pages, and crater on wp:edit_conflict in high-traffic articles (losing all tedious keystroke changes). Also, that page is not very sarcastic. Sarcasm would be: "Did you read the report written with the VisualEditor about planned upgrades...no one did as it crashed during edit-save and lost the report." Instead, the page provides mild humor, without attacking any specific product features, as just general obvious humor, such as: "If it's already broke, why fix it?". -Wikid77 (talk) 07:15, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep marked as humour. It gave me a smile after reading through the 25 new entries on WP:VE/F since my last a day and a half ago. JohnCD (talk) 11:25, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but Move to Wikipedia:Mostest smartest Wikimedia decisions as the author's VisualGrammar add-on was clearly not functioning at time of creation. Cheers, Lindsay^Hello 17:59, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep What's the harm?--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 19:16, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – I, like others here, find it funny. Oh, that's an "arguments to avoid in deletion discussions"; but then again, so is the nomination. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 08:50, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per above; the nom obviously just doesn't like it. How can it be POINTy when it doesn't disrupt Wikipedia? Insulam Simia (^talk/_contribs) 08:54, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Also fails WP:POINT as it isn't something the writer didn't want. This is a very low-quality deletion nomination and, although I of course assume the best of faith, User:This, that and the other needs to take greater care in formulating good deletion nominations - David Gerard (talk) 09:08, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Perhaps so. — This, that and the other (talk) 09:43, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Editors are going to need something to reduce the amount of teeth grinding that will occur in the coming months. I suggest grabbing WP:TOPTEN, although it might have to be TOPTWENTY when WP:FLOW hits us. @Lindsay: Brilliant, simply brilliant. Johnuniq (talk) 09:26, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Snow Keep, per all of the above. Quite clever. --Yellow1996 (talk) 17:20, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
