• Keep This is such a common thing that I think people need to know about it.--StephenJMuir 22:47, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. You, apparently as the "Muir" whom coined the phrase, are in no position to write an encyclopedic NPOV article about it, even if it were notable. We wouldn't allow Tiger Woods to write an article about himself, either. --Agamemnon2 11:14, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, per nom (add "vanity" to the list). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:02, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

  For the record, it was me that coined the phrase, but I did not write the original article, nor did I ask anybody else to. StephenJMuir 17:37, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

  I don't want to sound over-sceptical, but you and the anon who created the article appeared at the same time, and have edited little else. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:24, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Sigh. I didn't really want to get drawn into this, but I created the article. You have been using Occam's razor rather than Muir's razor :) D McCanney 22:11, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
