Parodies don't get dumped for being poorly written or paced wrong.

They get dumped if they are about sex, insult other writers, or are plagiarisms of OS's or other artists parodies.

I have noticed there are still some non-parodies of the ABC song which are simply lists:

http://www.amiright.com/parody/misc/traditional409.shtml

How on earth are you meant to sing them to the tune of the ABC Song? Should they be allowed on the site? Does anyone actually like these?

The ABC Song is sung to the same tune as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", right? Those can't be sung anywhere near that. Hence they should definitely go. They are not parodies at all.

So Chuck, could you please delete them?

Thank you.

I have noticed that the "list parodies" by Arcade Junkie have now been deleted. Fitu's list parody of the ABC song still remains.
