If you wish to put in new Wikipedia Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense, you may do so at 67 Deletion Summer of Love. But PLEASE cite your sources!

This section really should not have needed to be created. It only exists here because of Wikipedia administrators who are a little trigger-happy on the delete key and keep deleting the collection from the original wiki.

Please don't bother asking why this stuff was deleted while articles about non-notable elementary schools get their own WikiProject and non-notable shopping malls get their own Wikipedia categories by country. Too many questions, and the Wikipedian cabal will ship you off to Jordanhill railway station where you will be fed to a grue.

Note that only a portion of BJAODN (numbers #1 through #53 and #56) is available from WaybackMachine archives; the rest needs to be recovered from other sources. This process is largely complete.

About BJAODN[edit]

These pages contain material which is kept because the contents are considered humorous. They are not intended, nor should they be used, for any research or serious use.

Wikipedia:Shortcut: WP:-) WP:) WP:-O WP:BJAODN WP:BJ BJAODN WP:BAD

This is one of the oldest pages on Wikipedia. Here is the original explanation:

We need a page where bad jokes and other deleted nonsense can rest in peace. So, here it is! [I'm half tempted to suggest keeping the jokes inline with the pages, as they must sorta give the encyclopedia some lively color. But I do know it'd just get carried away and turn into an encyclopedia of silliness, so look forward to frequent updates of this page. ;-) ]

Bad jokes are never kept on Wikipedia under the guise of real encyclopedia articles. Occasionally Wikipedians lose their mind (especially on April Fool's Day) and if their posts are good they wind up here. Silliness can come in the form of creativity, insanity, or just boredom. Often it seems a shame to delete the best of this humor which has been submitted to us under the GFDL, and thus this page continues on and on.

When deciding whether to add something to BJAODN, please take to heart what Polonius said in Hamlet :

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Or even better, please remember the version from The Simpsons :

Brevity is ... wit.

Or remember the best version:

Brev. = wit.

April fools 2004

Some nonsense came about on April Fools' Day 2004 :

Wikipedia:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense/Delete the main page
Wikipedia:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense/Jimbo Wales for admin
Wikipedia:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense/127.0.0.1 Vandalism
There was also a short-lived revision of the article on Wikipedia. It is currently being developed at User:Pakaran/Kingdom of Wikipedia.
Wikipedia:Not another page of bad jokes and other deleted nonsense was posted to the "in the news" section of the main page.
And another short-lived revision appeared here.

April fools 2005[edit]

Wikipedia:Votes for deletion was first hosted on this BSD powered toaster. When that broke down, they had to use solar panels. Hence the reason the page loads so slowly. For more information on the history of Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, please see The history of Wikipedia:Votes for deletion

Wikinews has news related to: Wikipedia victim of onslaught of April Fool's jokes

In keeping with Wikipedia tradition, a significant amount of BJAODN has occurred on April Fools' Day , 2005 .
