The result was No consensus? I don't like closing AfD's as no consensus (it's the closers' duty to check arguments against policy, and usually one side has policy backing it up), but this is, well, a no consensus as far as I can see. Fram ( talk) 15:44, 16 January 2008 (UTC) reply
Em? Utterly unreferenced - utterly subjective. We are not a jokebook. Were this an article reporting studies of national humour, that would be one thing. But a list of jokes is a) unmaintainable b) unverifiable. In any case I suspect variations of many of these jokes are told across various nations. Docg 14:28, 8 January 2008 (UTC) reply
KEEP To remove this would be utterly ridiculous. The jokes of the GDR are indeed an insight into the GDR's own unique culture. Many of these jokes - especially those with regard to Honecker and the governing authorities throughout the GDR's history - would never have been allowed to be told outside one's own house for fear of imprisonment fo enciting anti-Socialst behaviour. Therefore, the jokes would never have been formally recorded. Furthermore, the jokes are very GDR specific and as there is very little accurate literature / information in circulation with regard to what life in the GDR must have been like this page offers an interesting and unique insight into the GDR. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.202.58.160 ( talk • contribs) 03:57, January 14, 2008
