[edit] Trump Rate

Trump Rate (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Prod removed. This article has two citations, one noting Donald Trump's regular salary and the other his fee for speaking engagements. The article, however, contains a mathematical formula (not cited) that is either OR, a joke, or both. Also, the title "Trump Rate" appears to be a neologism. At best, the two dollar amounts should go into Donald Trump; either way, this article needs deletion. Ginkgo100 ^talk 21:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete This article is either a joke or an advertisement. Or possibly both.--Anthony.bradbury 22:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
• Trump would have only two words to say about this article: You're Fired!!. Google hits for this phrase mostly link to articles about mortgage rates and casinos, no indication or references given that this is not made up in school. Delete Tubezone 22:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

• Retain I found the article that I pulled the formula from and added it to the list of references. canadian0 22:46, 7 December 2006 (EST)

Comment It's still a neologism, even if Milton Friedman made it up. The web pages you reference don't even use the phrase "Trump Rate". Tubezone 05:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

• Deleteper above. NeoJustin 22:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
• Change to merge as nominator. The source for the math function was cited, but there still seems to be insufficient information for a separate article; recommend merging into Donald Trump. --Ginkgo100 ^talk 22:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment I would agree with a merge of Donald Trump and this article. Canadian0 16:50, 11 December 2006 (EST)

• Retain The article is not a neologism because it is about a specific rate of wage income, which has largely nothing to do with the celebrity for which it's named except that Trump set the limit for the previously modeled maximum wage.
