The result of the debate was merge, the main discussion being where to merge this. I will merge this and redirect to Popular opposition to war on Iraq, and also add the slogan to List of slogans. Sjakkalle 13:15, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] No blood for oil

Content is "No blood for oil was a popular protest cry prior to the US invasion of Iraq in March 2003". Someone tagged it for speedy because "perhaps more appropriate in wiktionary?". No vote. Kappa 09:26, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge with article on said protests. I know Wikt takes sayings but I doubt they take slogans unless of meme-level. Radiant_* 09:58, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
    • Wiktionary welcomes idioms, certainly. This isn't one. It's easily decomposed into its constituent words. Uncle G 12:31, 2005 Mar 29 (UTC)
  • either expand with more background, or redirect/merge. dab (ᛏ) 10:40, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect as above. --InShaneee 16:38, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete This is a liberal chant for a recent protest. does not belong here. Drexel1 18:40, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Popular opposition to war on Iraq, do not redirect --Teknic 18:51, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect. This slogan has been widely used by opponents of both Gulf Wars, and by opponents of American involvement in the middle-east in general. Slogan alone gets 57,000+ google hits, and has its own website. -- 8^D gab 19:44, 2005 Mar 29 (UTC)
  • Delete Silly hippy screeching. Non-encyclopedic. A wise leader will always trade a plentiful renewable resource for a scarce non renewable one. Klonimus 10:12, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to list of slogans, which could use some cleaning and de-linking. Also note that this slogan was used in the first gulf war as much as or more than the second one. -R. fiend 06:25, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
