Talk:2005 Britannica takeover of Wikimedia/Archive

[edit]

Delete. Wikipedia does not want humor in any of its articles. 66.91.63.100 03:28, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep (and move to wherever it is that its corresponding article ends up). I originally removed the vfd notice from this page, as no subpage had been created, it hadn't been listed on vfd, and deleting a talk page archive is nonsensical, but since the anon reverted me, I'm bringing it to today's vfd page for resolution. —Korath (Talk) 10:21, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Obvious keep. It's a talk archive and those shouldn't be deleted without a really good reason. Jeltz talk 11:02, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. It is a talk page and I do not see a sufficient reason to delete it. Zzyzx11 | Talk 12:59, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep "Wikipedia does not want humor in any of its articles.", and this isn't an article. Move it to whereever the article goes. It's an historic archive of discussion related to the page and should be kept for anyone who wants to delete it or learn about its origins. Mgm|(talk) 19:50, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Talk page with no accompanying article. RickK 20:24, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep, so you want to delete all archived talk pages? Dave the Red (talk) 06:24, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and move to the BJAODN subpage where the main article ended up.--cesarb 01:24, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename/move to stay with its parent page as Cesarb suggested. Barno 15:43, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • keep talk pages if you will Yuckfoo 06:43, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
