Loaded language

An original research essay. The article says that "loaded language" is language that appeals to emotion rather than logic and then goes on to give some examples. What it doesn't do is establish that this is a notable expression. Redddogg (talk) 06:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Widespread usage of the terms "loaded language/phrase/expression" is easily verified, but that is dictionary material. This article is a series of editor-chosen examples padded out with two unrelated subjects. WillOakland (talk) 08:14, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but maybe move to Wikiversity where it would be more suitable. Original research is accepted there. --Walmwutter (talk) 09:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Notable term (unlike "num") but needs verifiable sources. Tezkag72 (talk) 23:40, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but strongly advise a complete rewrite. Needs more verifiable sources and references. 76.117.235.39 (talk) 13:55, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The topic is evidently notable. Per our editing policy, the need for more work upon the article is not a reason to delete. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
