[edit] Nattering nabob

And, of course, what is "genuinely free media" without genuinely free advertising and Google page rank manipulation, courtesy of Wikipedia and its mirrors? Uncle G 01:24, 2005 Feb 8 (UTC)

But how can you include entries for some similar webpages, like Daily Kos and Atrios and disallow others? - Carlo

Generally Wikipedia tries to include webpages which are important, or at least popular. This article has no evidence of either. Kappa 03:08, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Nawab, which mentions the actual origin of the phrase "nattering nabob." Joyous 01:41, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)

  • Redirect to nawab. Samaritan 04:41, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually, I think a redirect should go to Spiro Agnew, he who actually coined the specific phrase "nattering nabobs of negativity". Or go ahead and redirect to nawab, but credit Agnew in there as the source of that phrase. "Nawab", as written, just mentions the source of the word "nabob", and "nattering nabobs of negativity" is an example of the word in use; the article doesn't claim "nawab" is the actual source of the phrase "nattering nabobs".

    • As it now does thanks to Bearcat, so I'm creating nattering nabobs of negativity (and the singular) as redirects to nawab, and adding a wikilink at Spiro Agnew for good measure. Samaritan 14:46, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, article does not establish notability, blog advertisement. Megan1967 07:41, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Actually, the phrase "nattering nabobs of negativity" was used by Spiro Agnew, but his speechwriter, William Safire, actually coined the phrase. - Frank P.

  • Delete, blog ad, borderline spam (author may have misunderstood WP's article guidelines). Wyss 20:23, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete or redirect. Actually, I LIKE this blog - I may keep reading it - but it shouldn't be an entry. - Peachallie
  • Delete -the "Nattering Buffoon" would be better name- a vanity puff from a nonabee. Brookie 19:25, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
