This page is a clear violation of policy and a perfect example of what Wikipedia is not. --UsaSatsui (talk) 16:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC) UsaSatsui (talk) 16:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - it looks like a perfectly good article to me, although it could use some references. Is this nomination an April Fools' Day prank? -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 16:26, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I'd say that is a pretty good assumption. Useight (talk) 16:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Ahhh...don't know what to say about this but Crystal balls in this capacity are Notable and can be referenced and have been a part of culture around the world. The article could use some more references and citations sure but I really don't think that this should have come to AfD. Hmmm.... but does it violate WP:CRYSTAL!?!?!? {smile}. Any others that feel this should maybe a speedy and close?--Pmedema (talk) 16:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, meets WP:CRYSTAL of course ;) TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 17:03, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Protest keep against canvassing AfDs per this. EJF (talk) 17:57, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Perhaps we should leave it up to the article to predict its own AfD? Joshdboz (talk) 18:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Are crystal balls what clairvoyants get when they're frustrated? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 18:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nope. It's what they get after swimming in cold pools. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete It's the very epitome of what WP:CRYSTAL aims to keep out. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 21:36, 1 April 2008 (UTC)The preceding user was already featured for an April Fools 2008 prank he perpetrated.[reply]
• Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, ignoring common WP:SENSE. -- _{Escape Artist Swyer} ^{Talk to me} _{Articles touched by my noodly appendage} 23:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - If we do not define what a Crystal ball is, how can we base a Policy (yes, Policy) around the term? Clearly a notable term, well used in various media. Hopefully a April Fools Nomination. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 23:25, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and improve; clearly a very notable term and concept even if the article itself is lame. csloat (talk) 05:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
