An attempt at humor. Zero Google hits. Perhaps this might be a candidate for speedy deletion? -- The Anome 11:33, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • This doesn't sound very funny. And since when has Zero Google hits disqualified something from existing? Auric The Rad 12:04, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
    • I agree, it's not funny: hence "attempt". Zero Google hits doesn't disqualify anything from existing, but it one of several rules of thumb for placing the onus of proof on the submitter. See Wikipedia:Google test -- The Anome 12:16, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • delete as unverifiable/likely joke. Dunc_Harris|☺ 12:22, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless someone convinces us that it's not a joke. Title looks like a pun on Death by a thousand cuts. Andris 12:24, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
    • And/Or A Dream of a Thousand Cats (Neil Gaiman story). This is just silly. (Admittedly, people have done some very silly things in the name of justice, so if someone can come up with a reference, I'll change my vote; but I'm not counting on it.)-FZ 17:12, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: joke, not up to the lofty standards of nonsense found on BJAODN. Geogre 13:48, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not funny, not true. Average Earthman 14:55, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, for good reasons given by others, unless author or someone else supplies a good, high-credibility verifiable reference before expiration of VfD discussion period. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 15:48, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Joke by anon, part of a spree of edits all of which look like being reverted or deleted. Andrewa 22:29, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. I've studied much history and have never heard of this before. Couldn't find any references to it either on any web searches. If more info could be found, maybe it would make more sense to keep it. ScottyBoy900Q 20:56, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • 'Delete' --Vik-Thor 03:07, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. This would be less annoying if it were at least funny. Ian Maxwell 04:50, 2004 Aug 12 (UTC)
  • Delete. But it WAS funny, in my opinion. The title anyway. A thousand cats...hahaha. Oh boy. --Tothebarricades.tk 17:08, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
