Not to be the wet blanket (and I support humour project pages : ) - but I think we really should avoid placing article titles here which refer in any way to to a real person, existing business, or organisation of any kind.
IANAL, and I won't presume to be anywhere near an expert on such legal issues, but at least per WP:BLP and the like, I just don't think adding such examples here is a good idea. And so I think all such entries should be pruned, and this criteria should be noted in the header.
That said, I obviously welcome others' input on this. - jc37 05:36, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
Not sure why, when I made portals into its own section in the TOC, the Wikipedia pages link stopped working. More than likely I did something to screw up the template, goodness knows I'm prone to doing that, so someone who knows what they're doing might want to have a look and see if they can fix whatever it is that's going on.

Is it okay to add articles that were merged rather than deleted? Because I think Squirrel attacks is an appropriate title for this page. 169.228.147.248 ( talk) 21:20, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
Before I begin I want to say that I am all for a funny and creative joke, but we need to draw the line somewhere to avoid this becoming a collection of titles.
The entries that I removed included:
This was removed from the page in November 2017 for being both not freaky (it's a reference to a meme) and transphobic (for obvious reasons, before being readded with the justification that an article on a random meme was freaky enough, and also for being in 'good humour'. In other words, 'just a joke'. I have now removed it again because a) a random meme is not noteworthy, but also not really 'freaky' if you know the context and b) Transphobia is not 'good humour'. It's easy for the editor who restored the page to this list to say that as (I assume) a cis person, but this meme was literally created with the intention of mocking trans people, so is offensive regardless of it being ' just a joke' -- 217.42.24.158 ( talk) 19:53, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
Several pages were removed lately from this list because they were deleted as vandalism (G3 or G10), with the stated goal of avoiding encouragement of vandalism. However most of these pages were created years ago, and the likely vandals who created them have long since moved on and forgotten about them (if not left Wikipedia entirely), with very few exceptions. So I think maybe we should prohibit only recent (past year or so) vandalism on this page, since that should achieve the goal without necessitating deletion of perfectly good titles. And some of the pages removed (e.g. "The belief that a cosmic jewish (sic) zombie who was his own father..." that redirected to Christianity) just ought to be kept here, vandalism or not. §pur§y§ituation§ ( talk) 12:30, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
I was one of the first banned from Wikipedia for writing an article on homemade LSD, involving bleach and ammonia. Is there anyway I can see that deleted article? This was probably early 2001. Not looking to fuck with anyone, just curious. I thought an encyclopedia anyone could edit was an insane idea at the time. Supernauttroaghway ( talk) 02:14, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
@ Graham87: I figured it was a longshot, thanks for taking a look! Supernauttroaghway ( talk) 03:04, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
I just wanna ask if I can add to this page, that's all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThisIsHowIAm ( talk • contribs) 17:32, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
I don't know if this is worth mentioning at all, but dopigslayeggs was a reference to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztc3Pnl6BQk, where they make a joke about going to the URL in question and finding that it just says "no". SomnoticAgama ( talk) 20:04, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
As a War Thunder player, this is hilarious. To sum it up, people believe that Soviet (or russian) tanks and air craft perform better and have more durability than any other countries aircraft/tank lineup. I play Sweden, and have no problem against Soviet aircraft. This entire page is amazing. Smotoe ( talk) 15:27, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to nominate this deleted page for the deleted articles with freaky titles page, It should be noted that this page was a moving of the Eurovision 2023 wikipedia page with the memo line: "Rigged."

The title Sextuple-glazed windows, which I found divulging through RfD, could be considered freaky enough to go here, but is it one of the many thousands of X1/Neelix redirects. The creator of them were subject to topic bans, ANI and briefly ArbCom over them (the user's current block for sockpuppetry is unrelated), and they are considered problematic editing, but not vandalism, so are they okay to be mentioned in this list?

PLease add it to AfD or remove it from DAFT cuz someone created that draft again 24.115.255.37 ( talk) 02:53, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
Recently, @ SomeoneIguess added a few deleted drafts consisting only of Chinese characters in their names. Some of them exist in mainspace as legitimate disambiguations (e.g. 圓) or redirects, the characters' meanings are not always going to be freaky, and due to the sheer number of them implied to have been deleted from draftspace, the ones listed there are only a small amount of them. Are they 'freaky' enough to be listed?
I'm discussing it here instead of removing them outright as there are quite a couple of them, they have only just been added. and their removal may seem quite major. Xeroctic ( talk) 21:01, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
there's a video where he covers this page, should it be mentioned somewhere? im at school, the vids blocked, but it covers this page 13 Rats ( talk) 13:42, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
