User talk:Benoit Gonneville Damme/Montreal micro-climate (April Fools 2014)

This is a seemingly well-referenced April 1 hoax. While we're in for a slow spring, Montreal and Mount Royal (a hill 233 m in height) will not be "snow-covered" this summer, nor do any of the refs say so. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:11, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In fairness, it was categorized as "humour." Sorry if I ruined the joke. Perhaps it could be userfied if the article creator wishes to retain it. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:13, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

Resolved

This page should not be speedy deleted as pure vandalism or a blatant hoax, because... it is part of a April Fool hoax and is tagged in the "humour" category --76.67.155.56 (talk) 20:01, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I know, but as stated at Wikipedia:Rules for Fools: "All jokes and pranks must be kept out of the article namespace. Jokes in articles will be treated as vandalism." Pages must also bear the Template:Humor. I'm sure you just didn't know that. Anyway, the admins don't seem to be in a rush to delete it. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:12, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've raised this at Wikipedia_talk:April_Fools#Montreal_micro-climate. Let's see what the merry pranksters have to say. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:17, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved by moving the page out of the main encyclopedia. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:30, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
