[edit] Macaca moment
This appears to be an attempt at neologism as there is little evidence to suggest that 'a macaca moment' is a term in general use, as opposed to 'the macaca moment' that was specific to the 2006 Virginia senatorial election and is already covered at Virginia United States Senate election, 2006#Allen's macaca controversy Cripipper 13:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge what isn't already in Virginia United States Senate election, 2006#Allen's macaca controversy. This incident did receive a lot of press attention, but it really is not important enough to have its own article. There also isn't enough information to merit a separate article; keep it in the main article. It also is not a word in common use, as the article tries to portray it. All the references I find to a macaca moment have to do with the infamous YouTube incident. Srose (talk) 14:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge. The phrase was a runner-up candidate for some "new word of the year" award that got some press, which someone can scrape up and cite ... but it still doesn't need a separate page. Serpent's Choice 15:12, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge with macaca (slur), which recently survived deletion. There is no need for an additional article. --Dhartung | Talk 19:21, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
