promoting the military and censorship This article completely contradicts the attitudes of Wikipedia impartial position. The whole thing stinks manipulating the American public, promoting the military and censorship. Therefore, I demand deletion. --Fredy.00 (talk) 16:10, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose - preposterous to delete this article, the concept is well attested to. --bodnotbod (talk) 16:34, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Can you give us some examples of promoting the military and censorship. Also I woud sugest that you refraphse this to be rather less confrontational. Also are you saying that this artciel breaches NPOV?Slatersteven (talk) 16:36, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The nominator doesn't appear to know the directions for Afd. Georgia guy (talk) 16:51, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I may (or may not) disagree with the Afd, but I do not bleive that the users inexperiance in nominating is grounds to dismis it. Instead we should try (and I have made a right pigs ear of it myself) to nominate this crrectly and then decide on the merits of the arguments.Slatersteven (talk) 16:53, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep- Not sure where to begin. For one thing, nominator hasn't brought up a single issue that can't be resolved through editing. For another, its a term thats been in widespread usage since at least 2001, and probably could have passed the GNG back in October 2001, if not prior. And third, my Pearls Before Swine desk calender currently has a rabbit dressed as Osama Bin Laden saying "Greetings, Great Satan". Ok that last part has nothing to do with anything here. It's just a coincidence I found amusing. Umbralcorax (talk) 17:21, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No wonder they can't find him if he's hidding in Watership Down.Slatersteven (talk) 17:31, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep, and close. Nominator gives no reasoning at all to delete the article, instead just making a ludicrous "demand". Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:22, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
