Clearly an attack page. Even though it is funny, not everyone wants to read this. XfDWatcher ( talk) 19:25, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep I don't know who or what this page is attacking, I personally do not see this attacking anyone or anything. If someone doesn't want to read the page, they don't have to. I don't believe any valid rationale to delete this page has been put forward. -  GB  fan 19:39, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete Attack page with swearing language. -- WikiHelper1 ( talk) 20:16, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep. It's meant to be funny. KATMAKROFAN ( talk) 20:46, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete: Unfunny, inappropriate for certain readers, even if Wikipedia is not censored. It is violating WP:LIBEL and WP:LEGAL, especially WP:PROFANE. A humorous essay can't be this offensive. XfDWatcher ( talk) 21:22, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Struck the delete, you only get to specifically say delete once and your nomination is the one. -  GB  fan 21:32, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Who is this libeling? What legal threats are being made by this essay? WP:PROFANE is a content guideline. This isn't encyclopedic content, it is a humorous essay. -  GB  fan 21:36, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep No evidence of an attack. If "not everyone wants to read this" were a valid rationale for deletion, no entry could survive a deletion nomination. EricEnfermero ( Talk) 21:41, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete: I would consider it an attack essay, then. Could we make this a shock page? XfDWatcher ( talk) 21:52, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply

Striking another duplicate vote. Primefac ( talk) 21:54, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply

Who or what does it attack? -  GB  fan 22:43, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep - not an attack page, and no valid reason to delete has been mentioned in the nomination or the discussion. -- bonadea contributions talk 23:34, 4 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep I don't see how this is an WP:ATTACK, and "I Don't Like It" isnt a valid argument for deletion. Yilloslime ^T _C 00:53, 5 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Appropriate, direct humour for an important issue, one which the target audience frequently has difficulty grasping in normal language. Per the essay, WP:BLOCK XfDWatcher for five minutes for causing several people to unnecessarily read the page. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 00:27, 7 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep - A widely linked (though that may be largely due to its inclusion in {{ Wikipedia essays}}) and longstanding essay that is clearly marked as humor. —  Godsy ^{( TALK} _CONT) 10:33, 7 March 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Not only funny, but also a good critical piece about how the community often fails to deal with minor but persistent issues. ~ Rob₁₃ ^Talk 20:53, 7 March 2017 (UTC) reply
