The result of the debate was speedy keep, this is not appropriate — having a big green deletion box at the top of one of our most important pages for keeping the encyclopedia functioning saying it is being "considered for deletion" is not acceptable within the realms of April Fools Day foolery; nor is disrupting the MfD process with pointless nominations, either.

Having this page is very problematic as it causes users to become addicted to reporting and blocking vandals instead of doing things such as going outside and getting fresh air or reading a good book. And now that I think of it, there isn't really any need for us to be concerned about fighting vandals because if you really think about it, we couldn't get along without them. I mean, just think how different the world would be if we were to, say, read up on dolphins on Wikipedia without the possiblity of the classic "dolphins are gay" popping up on the screen. The world would be a much duller place, no? Let's get rid of this page and let the vandals spread their love. No sence in ruining others fun, is there? I didn't think so :) Urban Rose 00:25, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Page has a strong tendency to become backlogged and just creates an extra unnecessary layer of process. Hersfold (t/a/c) 00:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Is this is the spirit of April Fools :P? You silly kids leave us Admins alone and let us get back to business! Yet your nomination statement moves me to the point of leaving this survive for the time being...*gasp* Hersfold! Put your grumpy administrative veneer back on immediately before they get anymore ideas!¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:31, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
