Mindless Apr 1 joke not belonging here; Wikipedia is serious and this is taking up space on the RfA page. I recommend speedy delete. Rcsprinter (whisper) @ 09:21, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
- Keep: This is nowhere near main space, not being read by anyone but Wikipedia editors. We're allowed humor. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 09:28, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
- Keep with the rise of Artificial Intelligence it is high time we started putting our cleverest bots through RFA. Ϣere SpielChequers 10:48, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
- Keep Come on, it's April 1st. It happens once per year. Vaca tion 9 11:26, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a fantastic article. I know the subject well and I can't believe you would be so mean as to delete him just because he's got no references. Deb ( talk) 12:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
- Keep Per Category:Wikipedia humor. Ryan Vesey 13:56, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

- Delete. See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/GA bot. -- (ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 17:08, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
- Delete, per above. Seems logical to me. -- Yellow1996 ( talk) 18:31, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
- Keep as per the above. There is no compelling reason to delete this page, so long as it is obvious that it was not an actual RFA. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 19:27, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
- Keep there is no harm to readers and it is April Fools' day. TB randley 21:35, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

- Considering there are some 8 keep !votes already, it clearly would not be an uncontroversial or unambiguous deletion (see CSD). — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 23:02, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
- Keep Oh come on.... This is April Fools' and we deserve some humor right? This is a great page and we need something that could make us happy that is in Wikipedia itself. Also as per Category:Wikipedia humor. Mediran ( t • c) 03:04, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
- Keep As April Fools pranks go, RfAs aren't likely to spoil the experience for users. It's a bit of fun, and given the amount of stupid drama that occurs, a bit of fun may help us de-escalate and not take Wikipedia too seriously. — Tom Morris ( talk) 08:47, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
