Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Micro$oft
"Micro$oft" deserves scarcely a own article on Wikipedia. Possibly can the article be merged with Criticisms of Microsoft, but articles about satirical names can never be entirely NPOV. Delete. --Off! 08:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
No vote, but two comments. (1) This is fairly well-documented Internet slang: see [1]. (2) Of course an article about satirical names can be entirely NPOV. It should be treated like any other article about someone's opinion or a controversy: describe it informatively, from a neutral point of view, without advancing one side or the other. It's all at WP:NPOV. If this article should be deleted, it should be for non-notability, not an unavoidable non-neutrality. –Sommers (Talk) 09:09, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a place for crusade, regardless if the concept is common or not. The article should be deleted (or merged). --Off! 09:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- I agree that a merge would probably be best (or deletion for notability reasons), but I don't see how this page constitutes "crusade". The article is pretty much in line with the NPOV policy already: it looks like a good-faith neutral description of a point of view that doesn't try to advance it. –Sommers (Talk) 09:41, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

- Aprove - it may be common internet slang, but so are a lot of other stupid sayings. Do they all deserve entries in Wikipedia? Nope. I also agree with Off's comment that this will 'never' be NPOV Smitz 09:14, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- I now vote redirect to Alternative political spelling, where I just found that "Micro$oft" is already listed and described. –Sommers (Talk) 09:55, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Move to Wikitionary In fact... it's already there! --Cymsdale 10:28, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
