[edit] Shit, Shower and Shave

Shit, Shower and Shave (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I don't quite know what do to with this one. I don't feel that it needs an article, but I'm not sure what policy (if any) would apply. The phrase is common enough (I've used it myself), and not quite slang. I pondered merging it into List of U.S. Army acronyms and expressions, but it's not isolated to military usage.

  • Delete though the phrase is used (Full RN/RM version is "Shit, Shower, Shave, Shore; Big Eats, Bag-off, Back on Board") and would live in a list of military expressions or a slang dictionary. Springnuts (talk) 12:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, fails WP:NOT#DICT. Possibly could be merged into List of U.S. Army acronyms and expressions. Redfarmer (talk) 12:50, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete this stand alone article and put it in the lists suggested by Springnuts. Nick mallory (talk) 13:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete or redirect. I'm not seeing that there will ever be enough encyclopedic content here to justify a stand-alone article.--Fabrictramp (talk) 15:15, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete and merge per Redfarmer. Malinaccier (talk) 16:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete it may be possible to build an encyclopedic article around this popular military expression but it surely hasn't happened here. JJL (talk) 22:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. Dictionary material. No reliable sources can be found on Google, but Google Books and even Google Scholar turn up hits for the term, although I wouldn't know how to weave these in as references if that's even possible. I wouldn't object to a merge into that list, even if the term does have usage outside the US military.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 02:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
