This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete with a copy to BJAODN.

In evaluating this discussion, I merged the three related discussions. Given the topic, it seems to me that an inconsistent result would be the worst possible choice.

By strict vote-counting, I get the following:

  Delete BJAODN Keep Merge could not call
"against..." 8 11 7 2 1
"for..." 9 8 13 2 1
"don't care..." 13 6 8 1 0
summed 15 2/3 12 5/6 12 1/2 2 2

The last line represents the opinions if you took all three discussions and merged them, then eliminated duplication. The fractions come from 2 people who voted differently in the different discussions.

I should also note that 5 of the "keep" voters did so with comments that make it very difficult to tell if they were being serious. Their stated reasons appear to have no connection to the discussion. My hypothesis is that the discussion is about a joke and they consider surreal comments to be humorous and therefore appropriate. Not every culture shares that view, however. I was within a hair's-breadth of putting those comments in the "could not call" column.

Noting that a synopsis is already in the BJAODN archive, I am going to take the last step to delete the pages and the related redirects. Rossami (talk) 02:52, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Bad joke. BJAODN. Andrew pmk | Talk 01:01, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

  • First, merge all "Beard" VFD's together. Second, keep (and BJAODN) all of them. I'd like to see where this ends up if it's allowed to go on. --Titoxd 01:13, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy Keep. We went over this before and it was speedy keep. They should all be merged however. Please note that these were made at a time when Wikipedia desperately needed a laugh, and they served their purpose (See FreplySpang's comment on its talk page). But now let us merge them and put it in Category:Wikipedia humor. Redwolf24 (talk) 01:48, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Abstain A comment, I think the problem with Jimbo's beard is the length. It's too short and it makes it a little stubly. He needs to grow it longer and the longer the better. Hopefully so long he needs servants to carry it. DyslexicEditor 19:49, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - since when is humor not permitted? — Dan | Talk 23:30, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
