G.I. Joe

  1. I created the page a couple of years ago by mainly copying and pasting other articles from other wiki's and this same wiki. I would like to have the article deleted as it is not suitable on wikia nor salvagable and I have no interest in trying to salvage it now. A lot of the article you can find just by simply copying and pasting the text into Google in quotes and it will bring up things like the transformers wikia. I also copied and pasted a lot from the actual GI Joe article on this wiki, so it's also a duplicate article. The contributions to the article by other members are entirely deletions, mostly deleting the cruft that I added or was copying and pasting. The various ip addresses that have edited the article are for the most part me. Though the edit history looks long, there has not been any significant contribution to it. I was new to the uncyclopedia rules and objectives of the site when I created the article, so I apologize for my poor editing. I've made better edits since then with the help of Spike specifically on the Game Maker article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AnonSquirrel (talk • contribs)
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Yeah, so no one is going to rework this as I set out below (and if they do, they can start over), so let's make it go away. HolUp, if you renamed this because you intend to fix it up, I'll strike my vote. Spıke 🎙️00:52 11-Oct-16

  • Renamed from General Joseph B. Colton by HolUp; old name will still work. Spıke 🎙️23:24 10-Oct-16
  • "Joseph Colton" is the "full name" of the G.I. Joe soldier doll. GI Joe was slapped with a maintenance tag and deleted by Skullthumper five years ago, so there is no duplicates problem. (I have gotten it off the mag-tape and looked at it, and deletion was too kind.) The name is ripe for ridicule by anyone who could make it relate to real-world military follies and/or the natural marketing impulse to rebrand a toy into a movie and a television show. The actual article rants at the reader and has no such theme, but that could be repaired. Spıke 🎙️02:47 6-Aug-16
  • If you delete this, move it into my user space so i can take a look at it.--HolUp (talk) 05:17, December 11, 2016 (UTC)
    Okay, you own it. Spıke 🎙️13:53 11-Dec-16

Canadia

  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. Listy, a failed alternate history humor article if Canada had absorbed several of the northern states of the United States, especially those known for voting Democrat in election years. Relies on old tired memes for humor, and the main comedy strategy seems to be to disparage this "Canadia", which supposedly coexists with Canada. -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 03:38, November 14, 2016 (UTC)
  2. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. A crash course in everything we ask editors not to do. I de-listed and de-loused it but what's left is still seriously unfunny. Spıke 🎙️05:40 14-Nov-16

  1. Symbol delete vote.svg Delete. It's tidily written and has some nice-looking images, but there's almost no humor, and reads more like an Alex Jones essay rather than an Uncyclopedia article. In fact, according to the history, the article was created by a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.--HolUp (talk) 06:46, December 1, 2016 (UTC)

  1. Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. This is an attractive page with a real comedy strategy: Hoax, allude to real-life conspiracy theories while creating new ones. I am as unenthused about hoax articles as I am about articles "in the style of the thing they're about," which are mere caricatures. But this article isn't awful. Spıke 🎙️12:08 1-Dec-16
  2. Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. Considering this would probably be one of the hardest pages to write in a way that's funny and not just stupid i think it's worth keeping even though it's not a laugh out riot. Still pretty funny though and consistent with the uncyclopedia style I think. --Moonhead42 (talk) 12:27, December 11, 2016 (UTC)
