Wikipedia:List of drug-free Wikipedians

Silly association page. Wikipedia does not benefit, and page appears to be ~~troll bait~~ an unintentional troll magnet Bletch 13:29, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I agree without reservation. - brenneman ^(t)^(c) 13:32, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete. I don't believe it is troll bait, but the original idea was clearly trolling. Extra star for those defending wiki integrity, SqueakBox 13:42, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Delete Seems to serve no purpose other than to promote POV fighting. Friday (talk) 14:17, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Troll magnet. Pretty funny actually. Wile E. Heresiarch 14:45, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It's not an article (This article is being considered for deletion..), I'm not sure it can be VfD, it's community space. Gee, image the chaos if people started VfD each others organizational pages just because they think "Wikipedia does not benefit". Talk about troll bait! Stbalbach 14:51, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia: namespace pages can certainly be listed on VFD. There has to be a mechanism to allow them to be deleted - the WP: namespace is not a free-for-all. sjorford →•← 15:13, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- This may just me, but in my opinion all of the WP: namespace pages that are little more than "List of XYZ Wikipedians" should be deleted. Pages in that namespace should be more than simple signup sheets. --Bletch 15:53, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Has not one single sensible entry. While the original idea may have been noble, it's now a silly page. Delete. DJ Clayworth 14:56, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Seems amusing and harmless. Sdedeo 15:05, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Wikipedia is also fun (when it doesnt hurt anyone). Stbalbach 16:08, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Sdedeo is incorrect. It is very amusing, and extremely harmless. 'Keep'Themindset 16:15, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment IMO Cognition wanted a society for those who beleived drugs, and esp cannabis, are wrong. What with him throwing out most of the members here and the various revert wars he and I have had over the page I don't think this page has been all fun. Actualy there has been one powerful entry, by freakofnurture, that for me says it all; ie that the law works in stopping people using marijuana, SqueakBox 16:18, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, I see no reason why not. Simply because a page is troll-bait doesn't mean that's its intent, nor its only purpose. jglc | t | c 16:25, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Does this mean that it's fair game to start a Wikipedians on drugs page? Will admins have to start issuing WUI citations? JDoorjam 16:43, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in the spirit of rule number one of m:Wikistress -Satori 17:26, 12 August 2005 (UTC).[reply]
Delete, are you kidding me? K1Bond007 17:59, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Serves no useful purpose. -Willmcw 20:16, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, nice idea, to remove everything that's funny and frivolous from wikipedia would be sad. This list seems no more of a problem than a list of Hawaiian Wikipedians. Don't see why one is a problem and the other not. Coqsportif 20:36, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Oh good Lord! Pointless, moralising, POV, ill-informed and trollbait. Though feel free to list me on Wikipedia:List of drug-using Wikipedians, if anyone can be bothered to create it. (And yes, I'd support that list being deleted too, if it does get created.) — OwenBlacker 21:07, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, funny, but not useful. feydey 21:55, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this and other dubious "lists of Wikipedians". No value for Wikipedia. Pavel Vozenilek 22:03, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete disgusting self-indulgent vanity lists of Wikipedians. Putting Wikipedia: before the title doesn't diminish anything. -Splash 00:07, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Harmless and in good humor, you're just all jealous I'm free-drug and you're not. →ubεr nεmo→ ^lóquï 00:16, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
Move to WP:BJAODN. :D -Hmib 01:08, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Trollbait. (I'd say move stuff to WP:BJAODN, but Tony Sidaway would come up with some reason why that actually means "keep", and I don't want that. --Calton | Talk 01:51, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
Comment Curious, but I want proof that all the people on list can be shown to be free off all drugs, including low cost pescription drugs from Canada. Sabine's Sunbird 01:55, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep You have to admit this is funny. Have some fun in life. Brownman40 03:15, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep unless we can delete all of these lists. -- Visviva 08:48, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, or get rid of all lists, as the vote above. The initial asperations of this were hardly any worse than Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Green users (except that most would be more liable to support the latter), and the fact that it has descended in to a little harmless fun is hardly a reason to delete. — Asbestos | Talk (RFC) 11:17, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, not everything in the Wikipedia: namespace needs to be serious. Thryduulf 12:31, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Let's allow for a bit of fun with allowing users to categorize themselves into things like this. Harmless. Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:35, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Complete and utter troll bait. "Hang drug users from a tree.." (paraphrased).. Come on. Make a page that lists the stats on use of drugs by nation, race, income, religion, age, type of drug, etc.. not this garbage Wijiwang 00:17, 20 August 2005 (UTC);[reply]
