AN/I may be a cesspit sometimes, but none of us want it to be. Let's not encourage calling it that by having this redirect. If it's a joke, it's not funny, and what purpose does this redirect serve other than to spread negativity? The CESSPIT redirect contributes to the problem rather than doing anything to help improve things. Levivich (talk) 20:25, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
:Keep under the heading Ha ha only serious. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:31, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
:Keep - unfortunately, the Great Dismal Swamp will always be the Great Dismal Swamp. A bit of light-hearted humour doesn't hurt. DatGuyTalkContribs 20:36, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment there is also WP:CESSPOOL. They should be treated the same. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:45, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep I think we should be allowed to make jokes or express opinions about Wikipedia away from article space, including by creating redirects like the above. —Ganesha811 (talk) 21:52, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep pending a better/fairer rationale. It appears that editors have [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere?target=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27+noticeboard%2FIncidents&namespace=&hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1 created many wonderful redirects to ANI]. Either nominate all of the inappropriate ones or none of them. (We now return you to the Wikipedia:Wretched hive of scum and villainy, already in progress....) – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:14, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Pointy, poorly timed request. – wbm1058 (talk) 22:20, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- {{yo|Wbm1058}} WTF? You can't just vote keep? You gotta take a swipe at me, too? Please explain how this is pointy, or when would have been a better time? Levivich (talk) 02:15, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- :The creator of the redirect was recently blocked from all Wikimedia technical spaces and mentioned this shortcut here. You didn't know that? Sorry. – wbm1058 (talk) 02:39, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - having indirectly caused the latest drama there (though that wasn't my goal), I can confirm that it is a cesspit, and the redirect is very much appropriate. LilianaUwU (talk / contribs) 22:23, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - This and GREATDISMALSWAMP/etc have always been frustrating because they're just injokes from experienced users about how one of the few tools available to new and semi-experienced users is worthless. Not every user has friends with advanced permissions, or groups of like minded editors they can go to when they run into problems. If you think a place is a hostile cesspit, you'll act like it is when you're there. Maybe instead of spreading this weird meme these veteran editors, especially admins, should consider that they could actually work to make it useful and productive. Parabolist (talk) 02:01, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- :Agreed. Another hinge point for Wikipedia's critics. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 06:23, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep call a spade a spade 4nn1l2 (talk) 02:31, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Nothing has changed about either this redirect or the target since the last discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 09:49, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: Per basically every keep vote already expressed above. --MZMcBride (talk) 00:46, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- Use it for an essay, or redirect to a page explaining why you shouldn't open an ANI thread. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 06:22, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep
and move to targetThebiguglyalien (talk) 06:30, 16 October 2022 (UTC) - Keep as I said last time, it's true. LEPRICAVARK (talk) 23:56, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- Symbolic Keep, unfortunately... maybe after the place gets cleaned up a bit. Enterprisey (talk!) 16:59, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
