Wikipedia:MAIN PAGE

Purppose unknown, but created 1 April. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:26, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - April Fools' has ended, and so should this page. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 13:29, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete:See WP:TH#What is this... Most likely an April Fools Joke, however, it should be removed. Myrealnamm (talk to me) 13:33, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete: as maximally destructive. It is finally time to seize my chance to delete the main page. Do you understand how many have lived, fought and died for what we are getting to do here? Remsense诉 14:48, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I would mark the page as humor, but where is the joke? The page looks and feels way too serious to be taken as a joke. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:00, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The joke is that it's an exact replica of the front page from 2001, being presented in 2024. DS (talk) 18:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move to something like archive of the main page but delete this page. I wish to take part in the main page's deletion. 🇺🇲JayCubby✡ please edit my user page! Talk 20:38, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – What's the point of this joke? — VAUGHAN J. (t · c) 23:58, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Vaughan J.: It's a reference to how the main page was deleted in the past (it really was). The person who would now delete the "MAIN PAGE" would again delete the "main page".—Alalch E. 09:19, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I saw the comment for the joke below before you sent the message, but thanks for the clarification anyways. ― VAUGHAN J. (t · c) 11:38, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment:: As creator of the page, I neither support nor oppose this deletion. And by the way, it's a replica of the page from 2002, not 2001. My apologies for not marking it as humor. thetechie@wikimedia: ~/talk/ $ 02:32, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And I have an archive in my user space (do not dare delete that, not joking). And updated the link in the appropriate April Fools page to include an archive. Not be rude, but I guess I can't expect everyone to look there where it is documented. Sorry for not tagging as humor. thetechie@wikimedia: ~/talk/ $ 02:45, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Convert to redirect Redirect to Main Page -- our landing portal, which lies in articlespace, but is neither an article, disambiguation page, index page, list page, or redirect; meaning it is in the wrong namespace. -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 04:31, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as confusing and useless, or Redirect and Lock. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:55, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Despite the page being intended as humor, the title is confusing as what appears to be a redirect to Main Page is instead non-serious content. Making this title into a redirect is pointless, and the creator has already moved the page into their userspace so there is no content being lost by deleting this page.
