Royal Tit-Watching (Ornithological) Society of Britain

Piss-take masquerading as factual content - SP-KP 21:40, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

~~Preferably keep. At the very least merge the information to Titmouse~~. Samaritan 21:56, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- ~~A royal society should be notable enough. Samaritan 21:58, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)~~
  - I think you're missing the point here - this society isn't real.... - SP-KP 21:59, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - Take a closer look at the external link. Either you're missing the joke, or there are some really goofy Brits that really like Titmice. (Titmouses?) android↔talk 22:01, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
    - No, I do get the joke. My nomination is based on the premise that Wikipedia should contain entries about real things, containing factual information. I'm still a relative newcomer though, so tell me if that's not what WP is about. - SP-KP 22:04, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      - That response was directed at Samaritan. android↔talk 22:12, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
        Yes, sorry, I realised that after I hit "Save page" -SP-KP 22:15, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Is an article that references an already-existing joke site BJAODN-worthy? If not, Delete. I got a laugh out of it, though. android↔talk 22:01, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, or merge to Titmouse and/or BJAODN. The best thing about the article is the link to the external site, which is already at the end of the Titmouse article. -- Mwanner 23:26, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, not serious enough for a merge to Titmouse and not funny enough for BJAODN. --Angr/_comhrá 10:19, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, a nice try, quite entertaining, but not really worthy of any lasting memorial. Definitely not to merge with Titmouse. Naturenet 17:04, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
