How to keep an idiot busy for hours

[edit]

User:Michaelbusch has prodded this article and clearly wants it deleted because it's a silly joke. I'm not sure, especially because it survived a previous AFD, so I'll let you decide. No vote. YechielMan 17:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per previous AFD. My only concern is whether the title can be changed to something else ... and on behalf of everyone here I'll give my friend a kick in the pants who looked over my shoulder and suggested "Redirect to Wikipedia". ;-) 23skidoo 18:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep You may as well withdraw the nom, for now. As far as I can see, the PROD is baseless. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ speak ○ see ○ 19:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The prior AfD ended with "either keep or no consensus" as the reason. For this, though the source OF the joke is attributed, there is nothing compatible with WP:ATT which would support its notability or importance to be contained in WP. Slavlin 19:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, well-known type of joke, with references. NawlinWiki 19:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as well-known joke. Spacepotato 22:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
comment i will refrain from taking a position because i do not have any opinion on whether jokes like this should be included in wikipedia; however, if they are to be included, this joke is certainly sufficiently widespread to pass judgment.

Delete are we getting this banal? Transwiki to Wikipedia:Jokes. Now, seriously, how is this notable? any proof that it has become part of popular culture? --FateClub 22:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per my original prod and the above statements that this doesn't meet WP:N or WP:ATT. Also, do we really want this on Wikipedia? See Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. Michaelbusch 22:06, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
