[edit] Knee jerk liberal

This page is poorly written and doesn't seem to have any real point. It isn't accurately defining a political stance, instead it seems to be nothing more than the heavily US-centric political views of a single User. Rusty2005 16:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as POV essay. And, non-verifiable, as the article admits: "There's no good explanation for where the term 'knee-jerk liberal' came from but we all know what it means." Eron 16:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into liberalism. Mystache 16:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Per Eron. Dp462090|Talk |Contrib| 16:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete & Comment I've just noticed that for some reason there are two seperate pages, Knee jerk liberal and Knee jerk Liberal. If one gets deleted, with the other be automatically deleted as well? Rusty2005 17:05, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete as POV. I'd argue that the term is notible, but this is just politicruft. The other one probably won't get deleted unless someone slaps an AfD on it too. Pat Payne 17:07, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Just speedied the other one. Pat Payne 17:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete as per Pat Payne. Or is that a knee-jerk solution? --Several Times 18:00, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete Doesn't meet WP:NOR, WP:NPOV or WP:V, so kill it with fire. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 19:12, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete per above, purge it with fire and rub down the ashes with donkey dung. RGTraynor 19:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Go ahead and wipe it even though I think Mystache is the only liberal in here for some reason with me? <grin>. Pat Payne that's a really good laugh for me, too. I 'wrote' it, as there was no way to define what I have as my self-emaciating description in my user page. It is just something my mother called my father all of my childhood. Did not mean to cause a stink with POV. I will try to control my tears. cpswarrior 20:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete Sounds more like an Urban Dictionary definition. --Arm 22:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, POV--Mhking 23:01, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Oh there's no doubt this article should be deleted for all the reasons stated above. Wolf ODonnell 23:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Knee jerk delete. Well, somebody had to say it. --Calton | Talk 01:04, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete -- I@n ≡ talk 17:44, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete. No citations. May even be a page for somebody trying to promote the term into general usage. Couple of things like soapbox, publisher, battleground from WP:NOT could apply too.In1984 23:41, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
