Wikipedia:April fools/April Fools' Day 2009[edit]

I thought we were a serious encyclopedia? WP:BEANS? Scott Mac (Doc) 16:37, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep eh, let people have their fun. Not a huge fan of it, but it isn't really hurting anything. Prodego ^talk 16:39, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Opus the Penguin: "Silliness is the last refuge for the doomed". Seriously, though, we've been pranking on April Fool's Day since way before I was ever here, and I don't see any harm in it either.

• I can't tell if this nomination if serious or not. If it is serious, then Keep per previous keep comments. If this is itself an April Fools nomination, then delete per WP:ILIKEIT (wait... what?). –Drilnoth (T • C) 17:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep if this is serious as a harmless tradition we've been keeping on Wikipedia since 2004 (see WP:APRIL). If not, Yes per WP:JUSTAVOTE. Redfarmer (talk) 17:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as a record that we've been doing for several years, IIRC. GlassCobra 17:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, get a sense of humour Doc :) filetS (atlk) 18:16, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Fun as it may be this has nothing to do with building an encyclopedia. I admit, I lack the sense of humor gene at times. JBsupreme (talk) 18:24, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - As per everyone else bar JBsupreme. If this is serious, of course. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 18:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I should also point out that the main April Fools' page survived a Mfd in January. See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/April fools pages. Redfarmer (talk) 18:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep — WP:HUMOR, m:Category:Humor, WP:COMMUNITY, and if we ever start prohibiting humor here, I'll be grabbing my jacket and leaving. --slakr^\ talk / 18:49, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Looks like we've been creating these pages every April Fools' Day for a few years now, and a little fun now and again never did any harm. TheRetroGuy (talk) 19:10, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Can this be WP:SNOWed? I'd do it except I've already !voted. –Drilnoth (T • C) 19:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
