[edit] Strategery

Nonencyclopedic trivia/cruft. Wikipedia is not a collector of indescriminate information Blue Tie 00:54, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Note for consideration: Merge with Bushism would be somewhat difficult since this phrase was not used by Bush but by Saturday Night Live in a spoof.
Be more creative. Expand the Bushism article to include satire and comedy based on Bushisms. There are several examples of this already on the page. Carcharoth 11:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge to Bushism. Yomanganitalk 01:05, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • weak keep, it's pretty notable as far as bushisms go; it's received media coverage of its own. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 01:06, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, with comment: I think "strategery" is one of the few neologisms to actually pass WP:NEO. It's practically become a real, permanent word, albeit one with separate definitions depending on which side of the political fence you're on; I stopped trying to count the number of individual Ghits after getting to 640 completely unique references [1] (Google usually craps out between 250-400 for most searches regarding any phrase up for AfD). I can pull up articles about the word itself if requested. That said, the Bill Sammon book of the same name easily passes WP:BK, so if this turns into a snowballing "delete" consensus, I could just blank the article and make it into a quick article about the book, and use a few sentences of the current page as a "Trivia" subhead. --Aaron 01:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • KEEP - Same reasons as the above, previous user, Aaron. VigilancePrime 02:06, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Blue Tie Green hornet 03:09, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Night Gyr. Olessi 04:28, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable in its own right. People Powered 05:21, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Can be sourced, third-party verifiable, so keep. Batmanand | Talk 09:27, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Can be ref'd at Bushisms; beyond that it is simply a neologism. Eusebeus 09:38, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Can be ref'd at Bushims] as per Eusebeus. But as its own article, its just Presidentcruft. Non-notable one-time gag in its own right. I don't think this word will outlast the Bush administration either Bwithh 14:28, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge or delete and discuss under Bushisms. It's going to be rather insignificant after 2008. Gazpacho 17:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
    • comment - Wikipedia has articles about lots of things without lasting influence; There's no policy that says things must in order to have articles written about them. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 06:50, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. per Blue Tie. One-shot gag. Andrew Levine 18:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect to bushisms. — RJH (talk) 15:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I don't believe Wikipedia should be restricted to subjects of lasting importance. Ephemeral notability suffices, as witness the two separate AfD proceedings that Jennifer Wilbanks has survived. JamesMLane t c 23:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, sourced, notable, what else do we want... --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 00:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - cited (could be better-cited, but it's cited) and given its expansion from SNL to popular culture and the president himself, it's definitely notable. Dylan 02:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
