Humor check

The article is faintly amusing, like the smell of a baby's toes. But does it qualify as relevant to the wiki except by its coincidental naming? No, I don't think so. I call this to an immediate vote for (1) its relevancy to encyclopedic wiki events, and (2) that it is insufficiently funny. --Spencerian 13:31, 21 February 2007 (CST)

1. Joe Beaudoin Jr. - Delete No actual connection to the series, other than the similarity of names. (It's also not funny at all, unless you happen to be inebriated...) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 14:51, 21 February 2007 (CST)

5. Mercifull - Keep I actually quite like the page lol --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 14:15, 21 February 2007 (CST)
6. Peter Farago -
7. Serenity - Neutral - It's an extremely annoying typo some people make, but otherwise I don't see the significance --Serenity 13:39, 21 February 2007 (CST)
8. Shane -
9. Spencerian - Oppose. Intercourse this article! --Spencerian 13:31, 21 February 2007 (CST)
   • CommentWhat do you mean by that? lol --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 13:48, 21 February 2007 (CST)
     • CommentSpencerian probably means "frak". -- Noneofyourbusiness 14:10, 21 February 2007 (CST)
10. Steelviper - Delete I learned something, but not silly/funny enough. We should check our other silly pages and make sure they are all up to snuff, though. --Steelviper 14:15, 21 February 2007 (CST)
11. Talos - Neutral I could go either way on this one. --Talos 14:05, 21 February 2007 (CST)
12. User:Catrope - Oppose, that is, I oppose the existence of this article. It hardly has anything to do with BSG. --Catrope 13:45, 21 February 2007 (CST)
    • Comment Neither has Cylon Curry really. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 13:48, 21 February 2007 (CST)
      • Comment This may be the start of a mini-purge of the silly pages. Whatever standard we hold to the mainspace articles (and I think its relatively high), the silly pages are (or ought to be) held to even a higher standard. --Steelviper 13:52, 21 February 2007 (CST)
        • Comment I concur. I had to go to an external link on the page to know that the article Mercifull noted is a pun on "Ceylon". That's not particularly funny, and Ceylon's been known as Sri Lanka for years now anyway. --Spencerian 14:24, 21 February 2007 (CST)
          • Comment Its not a pun, that's how its actually spelt inn my local curry house. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 14:27, 21 February 2007 (CST)
13. Noneofyourbusiness - Oppose This article has no place here. The toaster and New Caprican loco weed articles at least deal with items mentioned on the show, though I wish they would be de-sillified. -- Noneofyourbusiness 14:10, 21 February 2007 (CST)
