[edit] Down the throat

Down the throat (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Per WP:NOT#DICT, "stubs with no possibility for expansion". (Unless you think we can establish the cultural signifcance of torpedos shot at a 0 degree angle). —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBilly (talk • contribs) 19:37, 21 December 2007

Comment. The article's badly written at present, but in itself that's no reason to delete, and a Google search brings up plenty of hits. Have a look at these, for example: [1] [2] [3] Perhaps something could be made of it. I'll say keep and we'll see what happens in terms of improvement in the future.

Keep, assuming this is a valid term, as stated. It will probably always be a small article but one which adds to knowledge and is more than just a dictionary definition (or can be in time). --Interesdom (talk) 15:31, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Delete - as wargaming cruft from the examples given above. Or a neologism. Or just a phrase - but in any event not a notable topic. Springnuts (talk) 17:36, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Keep; [4] suggests it is neither a neologism nor wargaming cruft - military tactics are often poorly covered on the internet. Not sure if there is an appropriate article to merge this material into; if there isn't, the article should be kept until it is expanded or there is somewhere to merge it to.
