An article about a Neologismm at the very least belongs on Wikiquote, not here... - Adolphus79 (talk) 04:03, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. It does seem to have made the news quite a bit. Kevin (talk) 04:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Thousands of people are dead because of those three words, which I believe makes the phrase notable by Wikipedia standards. Ecoleetage (talk) 04:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Millions are dead because of "Heil Hitler", and it only warrants a redirect... - Adolphus79 (talk) 04:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I have no problems with a redirect. Ecoleetage (talk) 12:11, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral There are several ghits in google books [1], but google search does not prove notability. True Iraq War was wrong, worse than Nazi aggression in Poland, and for establishing American hegemony, and this is the majority public opinion, but that is not a reason for keeping this article. I can't say if this term has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources or not, so neutral. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 04:56, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "worse than Nazi aggression in Poland" Wat. I'm no fan of the war but that is a bold claim. Protonk (talk) 05:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This may warrant an article at Wikiquote, it isn't deserving here. I say delete or at least redirect to Bush or the War in Iraq. Yamakiri TC § 07-4-2008 • 05:35:44 05:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral, leaning to merge somewhere. I immediately associated Bush and the Iraq War when I read the title of this AfD, although I am not American and am not interested in politics, so that's how far notability goes. But it's still just a throw-away comment which doesn't seem to be able to go beyond a dict-def to support its own article (yet). – sgeureka t•c 07:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Yamakiri. This doesn't have the same weight as We shall fight on the beaches or Peace for our time. -- JediLofty UserTalk 10:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, as this simply doesn't require more than a redirect and maybe a move to wikiquote. Vizjim (talk) 10:44, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Another borderline useless article from JeanLatore (talk · contribs) used to waste other editors' time at unnecessary AfDs. See his contribs. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete
and {{soft redirect}} to http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_W._Bush#2003. The quote is already there, no need to transwiki.davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC). Updated 13:07, 6 July 2008 (UTC): With the Han Solo reference posted down below, change this to "just plain delete." It is possible to write a decent article about the history of this phrase in the English language including notable uses and their impact on the culture at the time and on posterity, but it would be better to WP:STARTOVER from scratch than to salvage this article. Redirecting it to any particular use would be inappropriate. Alternatively, a multiple-soft-redirect to all uses in WikiQuote would be plausible, but unless the list is sufficiently complete, we are better off with nothing in the English Wikipedia. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 13:07, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Neologism with no reliable sources to show its significance. Aside from political punditry & comedy shows, it really hasn't gone anywhere. Bush has much more memorable quotes (Mission Accomplished is a much better example). — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 14:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete & soft redirect to wikiquote article per davidwr. This seems to be the most sensible suggestion, and will direct readers who are looking for this quote to the most likely place where they want to be i.e. a collection of quotes made by Bush, particularly regarding the Iraq War. Zunaid©® 17:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, this is Wikiquote material. WillOakland (talk) 18:50, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Not even a merge. This phrase is far too generic, and has been employed as a stock phrase in an endless variety of political rhetoric, popular entertainment, and casual conversation for the last century. I can't imagine this one use ought to take ultimate precedence. Dcoetzee 19:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Bushism. Powers T 13:39, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Dcoetzee. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 22:04, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and soft redirect, per davidwr. It's wikiquote material. Enigma message 03:59, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Not really article material. Either redirect per LtPowers and/or send to Wikiquote. JPG-GR (talk) 06:17, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - more notable as a line by Han Solo, and that would be stretching. LonelyBeacon (talk) 06:59, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
