1472:, I actually agree with your general commentary here (I think we're already well within policy to delete this nonsense if we deem it necessary), but there's a reason I supported and brought the RfC to the community's attention: a failure of this RfC would mean next year the April 1st crowd would point to the failure of this RfC as evidence that they could create AfDs about BLPs. Is this just clarifying what should already be a best practice? Yes. Is it unfortunately necessary to make the clarification now that the question has been raised? Also yes. 1841:: Only ban joke AFDs for contentious living people. The cited examples as provided by the IP are two extremely contentious figures in American politics. They're reasonable to preserve the integrity of Knowledge. However, Tom Brady, Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner, and Bernard Arnault should not be off limits as long as Rules for Fools are being followed. Banning jokes off of Tom Brady in the real world at all would be a SNOW, and banning jokes about him on an obviously humorous page is an absurd move. 713:, but this does not carry the weight of the community behind it. In Rules for Fools, "All jokes and pranks must be kept out of the "article", "help", "talk", and "help talk" namespaces." AfDs on living people certainly falls into this category, although by removing an element in nomination one can avoid linking the actual page. Yet there is debate as to whether these clearly and intentionally disruptive edits constitute misbehavior. I'd like to see more and firmer restrictions. 310: 289: 153: 205: 184: 122: 215: 382: 1404:, but every year someone makes one anyway. The sort of people who do this believe that saying "it's a joke" relieves them of any obligation to be decent or to follow rules, and making another rule for them to ignore in pursuit of a cheap laugh isn't going to help the situation at all. Delete these pages when you see them, or if you can't delete them then replace the entire content of the page with 1513:, and I would suggest we disallow any and all April Fool's activity in mainspace. Like it or not, we're a much bigger deal than when this tradition began; we need to take our credibility a little more seriously. Moreover, April Fools is not equally popular across the world, and odds are we're confusing a non-trivial number of our readers. 452:. Traditionally, there are few joke DRVs per year (or none for some years, like 2022), and combining them into a dedicated page would allow readers to access all of them at once. Also, this would separate joke and serious DRVs, bringing DRV in line with processes such as AfD, where joke and serious entries are separated. Thanks. 1144:
afford BLP subjects extra protection in policy because the content we host on them has the potential to cause actual, real life harm. It has been shown over and over again that a significant number of people who get involved in April fools do not have the maturity/common sense to figure out what is
1088:
The fact that there exists "a whole encyclopaedia of articles people can write unfunny joke AFD nominations for" is the very reason why BLPs should not be singled out; vandals could also make tasteless comments on non-BLP subjects. For instance, a (hypothetical) radical pro-life person could easily
1040:
Was your takeaway from my comment "this should be deleted because it isn't funny"? The AFD being unfunny, crude humour that took 2 years to get 2 people to comment on isn't the problem. The issue I have with that AFD is that it consists entirely of mocking someone for their appearance, which I find
859:: If joke AfDs on BLPs are banned, I'm sure anyone actually wishing to insult a BLP under the guise of April Fool's Day will do so. The Kanye West AfD? He was accused of what we cannot say, citing his own statements professing such. Or we can declare a permanent end to April Fool's Day on enwiki. 1486:
I get what you're saying, but we can thump people over the head with this new rule for all the rest of this year, someone's just going to say "but it's funny!" and do it anyway. They can point to this discussion all they want, I'm still going to delete their stupid attack page "jokes" with the

exactly per 163.1.15.238. I have never really understood how joke-nominating biographical articles for deletion doesn't violate the spirit of BLP. April Fools "jokes" are a privilege, not a right, and this seems like an eminently reasonable boundary to keep some "jokes" from turning harmful.
1066:, and honestly I would support a complete ban on April fool's jokes involving/at the expense of living people. We should always aim to treat people we have articles on with respect, dignity and kindness, and follow the principle of "cause minimum harm" - this is the fundamental idea of the 539:
Since there are few joke TfDs, FfDs... per year, this decision would allow these pages to be streamlined and centralize, rather than having a litany of pages with few XfDs each. This would also allow complete separation of joke and serious XfDs, as is done for April Fools' AfDs. Thanks,
559:
I just read every article in existence in regards to April Fools' but still can't understand what the rules are? Let me get this straight, no pranks on any visible page, no pranks on user pages, and no pranks anywhere else than your own user page? Am I getting this right?
1330:. WP:BLP policy, and the spirit behind it, overrides the need some people apparently have to make jokes at the expense of living people on something that represents itself as an encyclopaedia. If you must make such jokes, find a toilet wall somewhere to publish them on. 1307:. So, editors who want to write April Fools content on BLPs will have to get creative and write about non-living subjects? Tough. There are plenty of long-dead people and other subjects to choose from. I would extend this to joke AfD's of articles on living people. 1710:#3 standard against "Discriminatory / makes other editors feel unwelcome". I have no principled objection to rewording it if necessary, but I do not think "poor taste" is a reasonable reason to disallow joke AfDs (BLP or otherwise). Of the comments at 1526:
Never mind that; I see we already disallow this formally. So I'll limit myself to saying we shouldn't have to legislate this, as common sense would suggest these are a bad idea for living people; but since it still happens, it's worth spelling out.
993:
What exactly is the wit in that nomination? I can't see anything clever there. The entire AFD seems to be little more than "this person has a funny haircut, point and laugh!". The entire "joke" just consists of mocking someone for their appearance.
784:
All AfDs affect the mainspace of their articles: a banner appears at the top of a page announcing it is being considered for deletion. This is no different from someone directly tagging the article (which would unambiguously be prohibited by RfF).
618: 614: 610: 1245:
with the caveat that it is already perfectly within policy for admins to delete BLP joke AfDs per the BLP policy, the vandalism policy, and IAR, but sure. Make it formal so that we don't have to explain this to people in the future.
1714:, none deserve a comedy award, but I see only one that violates BLP. "Poor taste" is highly subjective. The fact that some jokes are funnier in the heat of the moment is an argument for looser, rather than stricter, controls. 1149:) apparently couldn't figure out that an AFD about killing trump or calling ye a nazi were grossly inappropriate. Given the history of problems and the potential for harm setting a firm boundary is a reasonable step. 1805:
per Pizzaplayer219, as I think the Rules for Fools do a pretty good job of this already. Common sense dictates that if the AfD is in bad faith or is disruptive, it should be deleted per the line in Rules for Fools:
1636:
Doesn't actually change anything about the status of BLPs, just gives the people who already care about the rules–and only them, none of the more flippant people who are likely to do something serious–more to read.
533: 1688:#1). However, I would say the proportionate reply is to sanction those who let joke AfDs into mainspace, and to sanction them more harshly if it was a particularly damning joke, not to forbid all cheeky jokes. 1546:
Relying on commonsense does not work when there are thousands editors ranging from under 8 yo to over 80. The internet is a big place and people should use another website to muck about with BLP topics.
1167:"Ye and Trump are appropriate AfDs?" Because I never said it here or at Tony's talkpage. I don't know that the Trump AfD was so horribly written, and I cannot be expected to know that fact, because... 770:

funny to the extent of making everyone laugh. However, this does not mean that the joke should therefore be automatically worthy of deletion; someone out there could potentially find it funny.

As Knowledge:Biographies of living persons is still in effect, avoid jokes that are directed at or reference living persons. Think carefully before nominating a BLP article for deletion.
1093:, and the resulting AfD would probably be as tasteless as the Ye or Trump AfDs themselves, yet would be proverbially protected because it is not a BLP. This shows that it is not the 529: 525: 1347:(and would also further support immediate elimination of April Fools' jokes that directly involve BLP).
