- I don't think that needs a rewrite, its a funny list of lists, not a listcrufty list. Its basically a a list of valid jokes that have some basis in reality, not a namedrop orgy or the like. --Mnb'z 05:39, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- It's not readable. It's full of red links. And it has a video in the middle. This is not how Uncyclopedia articles work. At the very least it needs to be condensed and reformatted. Nobody cares about 30-50 item lists. I'm of the opinion that the Science Portal important articles section should only feature very good articles. I clicked on Laws of Anime Physics and I was hugely disappointed. IronLung 06:31, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Uh... please let's move this discussion somewhere else next. I basically agree with IronLung though. It's not the worst article I've seen but certainly could be improved. Could be far shorter, for one. Also, if I were to write it, I would write an imaginary (or existing) anime script and put all the jokes in that, perhaps. Would give it tension. -- Style

- Based on this, can I re-remove the article from the list on the Portal page? IronLung 07:38, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- OK by me, I just don't want anyone to start an unnecessary war about anything. Please have a further talk with Mnbvcxz, maybe he'll want to rewrite it himself after all. If there's war, I go for leaving it there but strongly suggest a rewrite. As I wrote earlier, it's not the worst of articles. If Mnbvcxz really thinks it's good like that and people will enjoy it, we can leave it there. My plan is to refresh the list altogether at some point, anyway, just leaving a "more..." link there and dumping the present list into a separate article, the same way "recent" works on front page. If the article has typos and obvious bad language without humerrrristic intent, Mnbvcxz, you do all of us a favour if you correct it. Are we cool? -- Style Guide 15:11, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not going to edit war of whether or not its on the front page. Any, it could probably stand a cleanup, but I don't think it can be delistified, without turning it into a filibustering mess or a list formatted as a paragraph. Not all lists are bad. --Mnb'z 16:16, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
