Revision as of 21:26, 2 November 2006

This page is intended as humor. If you have been sent here by another user after creating an article that might qualify on the following list, you may safely tell them that they sent you to the wrong place. The place she/he/it probably wanted to send you was to Misplaced Pages:List of bad article ideas.

An article about or described by any of the following can be safely assumed among the category of unnecessary articles:

• You or the organization you work for.
• Your band which has only sold 47 copies of their one album. Even if you think it will sell 48. Or maybe 49!
• The street you live on (unless it is on a Monopoly board).
• Any one of the 56 distinct regions in the Pokémon video game.
• Your apartment building.
• A stunt or trick only you have ever attempted, probably unsuccessfully.
• Individual songs, unless it's seventeen minutes long or has led to a phone number becoming unusable. At the very least, it has to make us laugh and inspire no fewer than one million people to imitate or otherwise parody it (poorly).
• The high school you attend or used to attend and how cool each of your friends is.
• Your dormitory or any suite therein.
• Topics that already have an article. Use the Search button. It's there for a reason.
• Fancruft, which is usually defined as stuff nobody but that guy who changes his Spock ears more often than his underpants cares about, or the equivalent thereof.
• 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 favorite line from a movie (Frankly my dear ...) or catchy lyric (I can't get no ...), a potent phrase used in argument (You're talking from out of your ...), juicy facts of interest to fans (Model for Michelangelo's David's ...), a punch-line or zinger (Take my wife ... please!), are all very interesting. All that can be informatively written about topic "X", is that X is a found in ]".
• Just about everything listed on Misplaced Pages:Millionth topic pool.
• For that matter, Misplaced Pages:Millionth topic pool.
• Anything about your cat or dog and how cute it is (or your hamster, degu, or chinchilla).

• Exploding Whales, or indeed Exploding Wales, or even Exploding Wales.
• Anything written under the influence of recreational substances or while tired and emotional.
• Your mom or Your dad
• Any article intentionally trying to get into Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. No, it isn't that funny to anybody except you. That is what Uncyclopedia is for.
• A fork of an existing article for the sole purpose of adding some humor.
• ...and claiming that the article you copied was a parody of yours. You're not fooling anyone.
