[edit] D'oh!

• Merge with Made-up words in The Simpsons. Do we have articles like Kwyjibo or BBBQ? No we don't. --MicroFeet 11:13, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Here in the Netherlands (at least where I am), the phrase is commonly used by young people in every day life. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:30, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep --zippedmartin 13:00, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a remarkably notable made-up word from The Simpsons. Kwyjibo and BBBQ are both one-scene one-episode jokes, and that's why they're in the uber-merged article. It'd be like merging Mt. Rushmore into List of mountains in South Dakota -- Plutor 13:38, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - not suitable for an entire article of its own. Maybe merge parts with Made-up words in The Simpsons, and transwiki parts to Wiktionary. Jdhowens90 13:40, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep this one, but not Kwyjibo or BBBQ. Dunc|☺ 14:10, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Plutor; "D'oh" is in the OED. — Lomn | Talk 14:38:41, 2005-08-22 (UTC)
• Keep — Very well known expression. — RJH 15:04, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep has had a major impact on our culture, now in common usage and really doesn't compare to any of the other Simpson made up words. It's a good article in itself, an informative read, I like it. Alf 15:16, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as above, and transwiki to wikitionary (if not already there). Keep as a redirect, tho' The JPS 15:27, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, well written, notable phrase (as listed above) --IByte 15:28, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Alf. Christy747 15:48, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- part of the language now, and a nicely encyclopedic article. Steve Summit (talk) 16:10, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep notable enough. --R.Koot 16:18, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, highly notable word now despite its origins.Gateman1997 17:59, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. When something like this makes the Oxford English dictionary, it's a keeper on Wikipedia. - Lucky 6.9 19:16, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep, extremely notable. By the way, VfD is not the place to suggest a merge. - ulayiti (talk) 19:17, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as well known word with Simpsons origins. Capitalistroadster 19:32, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, valuable article. Punkmorten 20:53, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep highly notable expression. And VfDs aren't the place to nominate things for merging. Nothing gets deleted when you merge. CanadianCaesar 22:25, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable expression/catchphrase. 23skidoo 00:02, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Alf. --Apyule 03:00, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• keep please about a million hits on google tooo Yuckfoo 19:32, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - this has got to be one of the most notable things to derive from "The Simpsons". Vashti 19:00, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
