== XFD poll ==
[[File:Results of the 2022 April Fools' Day AfD vote.svg|thumb|right|400px|Visual bar graph of the amount of votes each joke nominations received]]
This page lists the top XfDs from the survey. A total of 43 responses were submitted during the survey period. Two responses were removed because it did not name a specific XfD.
# [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Planet of the Apes]]
# [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Toki Pona (5th nomination)]]
# [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/E]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tic-tac-toe]], and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Up (2009 film)]] are all tied for third place.
# [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Censorship]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/First]] and [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User talk:Jimbo Wales (2nd nomination)]] are tied for fourth place.
The rest of the XfDs had too few votes and are thus not listed above, instead the table below shows the count of each page nominated for deletion.
