[edit] Chomskybot

Vanity IMHO. 130.126.220.138 18:15, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 12:39, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Colorless green ideas sleep furiously. I'd not be strongly opposed to a delete MLA 15:04, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Completely frivolous nomination; article is not vanity. This is a decent article about reasonably well-known, well-documented script that has been around for over a decade, and widely adapted to other purposes. This article has been here for nearly three years—would it be too much to ask for reasons for deletion a little more compelling than "Vanity IMHO"? · rodii · 19:32, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per rodii. Also because the term gets >15,000 Google hits, and there's no evidence the article was a vanity. --Aaron 20:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Undecided. I was pretty skeptical, but after visiting the FAQ linked from the article, it sounds like the program has a minor following. At first, this appears to fail WP:SOFTWARE, but it has been ported by someone other than the author. This chunk of code should probably be categorized as a "phrase generator", of which there are many examples that generate phrases in many fashions, such as creating Shakespeare insults. Perhaps a separate article called "phrase generator" could be made, and this page could be merged into it. Isopropyl 20:47, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Racks up the Google results but has anyone ever written anything about it that's not in a blog or forum? Cleanup the page a bit (the example runs long, certain links seem unencyclopedic). The article is certainly lots of things, but definitely not vanity IMHO. -- Krash (Talk) 01:42, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
