  • Delete not, for lack of a better word, encyclopedic. AnteaterZot (talk) 09:39, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The most famous use of the term in popular culture already has an article (Happy Birthday, Mr. President); the other references mentioned in the article are trivial. Kablammo (talk) 10:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete It's 100 percent original research, and not all of us would agree with this person's summary of common knowledge. All those interviewers who address George H.W. Bush or Bill Clinton as "Mr. President" must not know as much as the author. Keeping my fingers crossed that we won't have to figure out how to address Senator Hillary Clinton after 1/20/09.

  • Keep but rewrite. The decision by the early republic to give its executive a pedestrian form of address is considered significant, and there was considerable discussion at the time. The President is the only constitutional official without a formal form of address (e.g. "Your Honor", "Your Excellency"). --Dhartung | Talk 23:53, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Article needs major cleanup, but the title "Mr. President" is highly notable. ---Mysidia (talk)
  • Strip out all the Original Research, and merge anything that's left to President of the United States - fchd (talk) 07:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep -This subject is not common knowledge, and there is much discussion about what to call a former president. I was taught all of my life that once a president left office, the title returned to the last office held. (ex. Governer Jones) If no office was held then title would be Mr. (ex. Mr. Jones) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.234.200.158 (talk) 05:11, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
