Wikipedia:List of bad article ideas . Now please, bug off, we've got more important things to be on about.
This page contains material that is kept because it is considered
humorous . Such material is not meant to be taken seriously.
An article about or described by any of the following can be safely assumed to fit into the
set of unnecessary articles:
Creating or editing an article just to show off a picture of
a cute cat or dog is always a terrible idea. Besides, there's always someone somewhere who thinks their cat is cuter.
You ,
your family , or the
organization you work for .
Your band , which has only sold
47 copies of its one
album . Even if you think it will sell 48. Or maybe
49! Or, if you get really lucky, you can pay off the record store owner so that he may buy one and your sales will have gone up to fifty!!! Keep dreamin', brotha.
Your imaginary friend or
your imaginary friends that don't even exist.
The religion ,
language , or
country that you
made up with your friends in school one day .
The street you live on , unless it is
on a Monopoly board . But since it is highly unlikely that you live on
a Monopoly game board , we suggest that you not even try.
Any one of the
many regions in the Pokémon video game series or
lieking mudkipz , or
hering dat someon lieks mudkipz . Or a random ship that includes
Ash Ketchum and (
insert random girl here ). Remember, not everyone is a
Pokémon fanatic .
A
stunt or trick only
you
have ever attempted , probably
unsuccessfully .
Any movie
you made yourself which has never been seen by more people at one time than can fit in your basement.
Even if you have a really big basement .
Individual songs that have never been released as a single nor seen radio play, unless they're
twenty minutes long or have
led to a phone number becoming unusable or even have
questioned the essence of music itself .
"
(Anything) in popular culture ."
Anything at all .
Likewise, "Hysterical Realism in the Works of
(insert neither hysterical nor realistic author here) ".
Your dormitory ,
university residence , or any
suite therein .
Stuff nobody but that guy who changes his Spock ears more often than his underpants cares about, or
the equivalent thereto . For example, a song about
a custom map of
a video game , unless
you are famous and the song managed to release as a
single .
Anything about which you cannot be buggered to write one complete
sent
Subjects that cannot be studied, or the knowledge of which amounts only to the fact that it pertains to another topic. A
favourite line from a movie or
catchy lyric , a
potent phrase used in argument, juicy facts of
interest to fans , a punch-line or
zinger ; these are all very interesting, but usually all that can be informatively written about topic "X" is: "X is a _______ found in _______."
Just about everything listed on
Wikipedia:Millionth topic pool .
For that matter,
Wikipedia:Millionth topic pool .
Anything about your cat or dog and how cute it is (or your
hamster ,
degu , or
chinchilla ).
For instance, these are far cuter.

Exploding Whales , or indeed
Exploding
Wales , or even
Exploding
Jimbo Wales . Or blowing up any other
animals ; for example, exploding mice, or even exploding
Velociraptor , for that
matter . Most things that
implode are pretty much off the list too, with a
few
exceptions .
Anything written under the influence of
recreational substances or while
tired and emotional .
An article about another article , written after the use of aforementioned substances.
A fork of an
existing article for the sole purpose of adding some humor.
The weather in London . Not even a
redirect . (
Wowee )
No matter how cute you are,
expect no quarter in the cruel world of Wikipedia.
Your
guild in
World of Warcraft or similar
time wasters . Just because you have no life a personally fascinating hobby doesn't mean you get to tell the world about it. And don't write about this guy in your guild who
wiped your raid , either.
Something
you
just
saw
on
YouTube
and ,
possibly ,
laughed
at .
Something
you
just
put
on
YouTube .
An
article tdat haz badly grammer and?or speelling. Insulting, bad puucnktation!!
Any
meme , no matter how
popular or
important . We're not saying don't use your Imagination .
Anything you
don't know the title of .
Your wiki or blog. It's probably not internationally famous. If it is, well, go ahead, but let's face it; your
blog of cute cats is not internationally famous (three readers is not fame).
[1]
Your new
invention or
research paper that will change the world. It will
undoubtedly fail .

Bubba or your dog named
Max . No one cares. Trust us.
Your nomination for the Noble (
or even Nobel )
Peace Prize .
Anything about how you were
abducted by aliens .

person that knocked on your door while you were writing the article about your dream last night , causing you to forget about the dream (but I'll be honest, I feel for you).

any other Wikis that
appear to be Wikipedia but aren't.
An
article about the media response to the Wikipedia article about the barely notable thing that shouldn't even have an article (recursivity has its limits, even here).
The difference between
Hoagy Carmichael and
Stokely Carmichael .
Even an article on a subject that is four times cute will not survive if it is not
notable .
An entry promoting your hilarious web series about Wikipedia.
Recreating
this dumb list .
Anything about
hashtags .
#IHateHashtags
Anything about
how fat you are or
how much weight you're losing (trust us;
no one cares ).
Headlight flashing – I know, it's preposterous, even for Wikipedia. But when you're done laughing and/or crying, follow the
link . It really exists.
Assumptions about the conclusions of scientific publications that you have seen the titles of, but not read.
Your self-published book.
McGannahan Skjellyfetti .
An article about your friend's latest
selfie . Or, for that matter,
selfie stick . They are banned in most places anyway.
Lists of times at which commercial breaks occurred during a sporting event.
Your personal opinions about your significant other.
An article on discussing the
differences between you and your close friends. It does not matter to most

chicken fuckers because the main article is protected from vandalism by the legions of Internet trolls.
