Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of school pranks (2nd nomination)
perhaps regrettably! But the school prank is a verifiable cultural phenomenon, and there are a number of particularly well-established types. I don't see why an encyclopedic article on school pranks is impossible (although I can see that on an "open" encyclopedia, it may well be difficult to maintain, with the risk of rapid degeneration). And this isn't just a "popular culture" thing either - there are possibilities of referencing from both biographical and other factual literature, and also fictional literature. What can't be referenced can and should be stripped out. The fact that some are referencable is a sign that the list itself should be kept - ''many votes seem to be misunderstanding ''. If we had an individual article on an individual or phenomenon that was impossible to verify, it needs to be got rid of. Now, many individual claims in this list ''are'' impossible to verify. But the fact that "school pranks" exist is not, and many of the core claims in this article are verified and should be kept, along with the list itself
