See my comments on that debate. Are people content for the Wikipedia namespace to have items other than the essentials needed for running en:? I mean, even with just that, there's a LOT of operational clutter (I think someone pointed this out on the village pump recently - suggesting a cleanup).
I would suggest we try to tidy up the Wikipedia namespace, and move jokes and satire to people's user space. I'm even suggesting this for BJAODN. It would also mean that a user would have to take responsibility for each page.
Surely the Wikipedia namespace is just there to help out with the running of the project?
Am I completely out of touch with everyone else on this?

I think so! ;) This is a legitimate part of a debate about what content should go in. Do you want to delete the other 'advocacy pages'? Is the problem with this that it is satirical? Mark

Not sure, but as for me, I think a little fun is part of helping out with the running of the project. The Germans already think we are humor impaired enough as it is. ;-)

Yow! When the /Germans/ think that, you know we're in trouble...
That said... *I'm* having fun with the deletion. Who says Americans don't get irony?
