{{Cpbl score game}} was used incompletely on 2008 CPBL season but I replaced it with standings summary instead as much of the information was blank or missing. {{Cpbl stadiums}} and {{Cpblteams}} are used only by {{Cpbl score game}}. –Aidan721 (talk) 16:13, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

A wicked funny April Fool's joke, but in its current form it's blank. No reason to preserve it in the Hahvahd Yahd. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 14:43, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

• Keep. It's wrapped in {{If April Fools}}, so it only appears on April 1 (thus why it's currently blank). Also useful to preserve as some editors like to browse past April Fools jokes. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 19:52, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
• Delete. I passed by this on my way to cleaning up *mbox, but I am inclined to delete it after someone else has nominated it. I don't think it's appropriate to be joking about this in the mainspace, per much April Fools precedent. --Izno (talk) 17:42, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
• Delete If someone feels the need to seriously nominate an April Fools joke for deletion, then that's evidence that it is more disruptive than funny and should be deleted. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:14, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

  @Pppery, what specifically is the disruption? Has someone changed the spelling of words at the article on April 1 because of it? (Note that it includes a clear tag for responsible disclosure, making the chance of that miniscule.) Has it disturbed maintenance efforts? The nominator noted only that it was currently blank, which as I noted above is actually evidence it's functioning properly (TPH, given that, I'm curious whether you still wish to delete at all). Pppery, as with your other recent nominations of April Fools-related material, you claim hypothetical disruption without evidence. Responsible jokes help make Wikipedia a pleasant community, and I'd rather we preserve them than delete all evidence of them, preventing future editors browsing WP:APRIL2021 from a chuckle they might otherwise have. This editnotice appears one day a year, in a form that could not possibly be misconstrued by a reasonable editor as anything other than a joke. (If "Editors who pronounce Rs in this article may be blocked and/or thrown into the harbor" doesn't register as humor, there are CIR issues.) There is no harm. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 05:13, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

  The above is a consistent stance that I apply to all April Fools' jokes (and have in several other cases: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vladimir Putin, Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Willy on wheels) not an evaluation of the merits of one specific template -- the disruption is that someone, for whatever reason, felt compelled to start this discussion which is sufficient given that I view the value of April Fools jokes as neutral at best. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 12:29, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

  I'd urge you to place a little more than zero value on responsible humor, even if you don't personally find it funny. We're not paid, so the only thing keeping us here is that we enjoy editing. Many editors find enjoyment in Wikipedia humor, and it motivates them to keep on contributing, so even if that's not true for you personally, you should want to keep it around, as it helps us with retention. I take a very hard stance on attempts at humor that could confuse readers or disrupt editors, which we absolutely need to stamp out, but the flip side of that is leaving completely harmless jokes like this alone. And I maintain that this is completely, utterly harmless—your main argument otherwise seems to be that because you are fighting to delete it, it's disruptive and should be deleted, which is tautological. Please focus your efforts to combat disruptive humor where they're actually needed instead. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 22:45, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

  Comment The nominator stated it was blank, for the deletion, which it isn't, since it is locked away except on April Fool's; so "more disruptive than funny" doesn't seem to fit for nominations of blank pages. -- 65.92.247.17 (talk) 02:56, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
