[edit] Pick up lines

Cannot be considered an encyclopedic entry. Looks more like a wikiquote page than an wikipedia page. Sharpdust 03:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

• delete not encyclopedic Bucketsofg 03:43, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• delete per nom. --Fuhghettaboutit 04:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• keep with cleanup tags, maybe delete all the examples unless they are referenced. surely pickup lines are notable, it even gets 79 google scholar and 589 google book search results -- Astrokey44|talk 05:22, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• keep and clean up per Astrokey. JoshuaZ 05:28, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unencyclopaedic. --Terence Ong 06:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. A culturally very notable phenomenon. Grandmasterka 06:23, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. We definitely should have an article on this topic, but the long list of examples was not very useful—so I boldly removed it. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 09:18, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, move to Pick up line, as per WP:NAME. David Sneek 10:50, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and move to Pick up line, well known phenomenon, looks like an article now that the long list of examples is gone (bound to be a never-ending fight to keep it gone too). Weregerbil 12:13, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Astrokey. Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:14, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, move to "Pick up line", and tag for cleanup. Cultural phenomena, albeit minor. Herostratus 13:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It is a part of culture, and should definitely be considered a definition if other words like "google" can be called definitions.
• Keep. It's as legitimate as many other things that get entries. Carlo 16:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unencyclopedic Funky Monkey 22:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Astrokey. Don't understand how it would not be considered notable. --SecondSight 02:39, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
