A 2007 AfD determined that 2020 was a keep. I think it is becoming abundantly clear this decision needs to be reviewed.{{April fools}} Sulfurboy (talk) 00:51, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

There was a pretty obvious consensus to delete in the MFD discussion yet it was somehow kept. I really think it's obvious that this should be overturned to delete. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:33, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

• Joke nominations stopped being funny sometime around 2006. If this had actually been humorous, you wouldn't need a big honking template labeling as such.{{pb}}On the plus side, I'd been trying to figure out exactly which page title had the history of WP:Undeletion policy before it was pseudo-deleted by redirection, and the MFD linked here pointed me at it. I'd thought it had been around later than 2007 (maybe it wasn't trimmed so draconically when initially merged?); also, I'm somewhat horrified that it advocates wheel-warring-in-all-but-name if you're an admin and you think a page's deletion didn't follow policy to the letter. —Cryptic 23:02, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

:{{DRV links|Red link|xfd_page=|article=}}

If we don't have a page on red link, how will we ever know what red links are for? Red links are important to building the project. Furthermore, there're plenty of incoming links, so there's clearly quite the demand for an article on one.

I hereby appeal the inappropriate deletion of this page as Wikipedia:CSD#G1 despite the fact that Wikipedia:Patent nonsense suggests G1 does not apply. There's also a logical paradox here, in that, how is it valid to delete this page, when this page is requesting the deletion of Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion? Surely it cannot be valid to delete Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion thereby rendering Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion invulnerable to deletion.
