[edit] United Statian

This user insists on repeatedly removing all uses of the term "American" to refer to individuals or organizations resident in the United States. This article is an example of WP:POINT in his pursuit of this goal. The term is a non-notable neologism; it is mentioned on Alternative words for American, and doesn't need an article of its own. I'm going to open a WP:RFC on User:Heegoop if his behavior in this regard continues. Firebug 20:21, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Redirect neologism doesn't need own article You (Talk) 20:23, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Neologisms are unfrumplesed. --FCYTravis 20:47, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - This uncromulent neologism disembiggens Wikipedia. -- BD2412 ^talk 20:48, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)
• Delete, neologism, no evidence provided of significant use. I'm tempted to say "redirect to Eustachian or Union Station..." Dpbsmith (talk) 23:05, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Alternative words for American, while it is mentioned this article has a semi-useful link and a bit more information. Falphin 00:58, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Alternative words for American as per Falphin. — Bcat (talk | email) 01:05, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Current article text is clear violation of No Original Research. As the word's already listed at Alternative words for American, there's nothing to merge. The Literate Engineer 01:58, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• In this case, I'm a proud deletian. — Phil Welch 05:39, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete neologism. JamesBurns 07:46, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Put the article's context on the alternative words for American and it can be read there. Also put that one external link with it as well. Heegoop, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Alternative words for American. -- Jonel | Speak 03:45, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Alternative words for American. I was the one who added to that list in the first place (I believe I was unaware of that linked-to article at the time) and I don't think it deserves its own article. I do think that the use of the ambigous term "American" should be discouraged, but that is out of the scope of this page. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ June 28, 2005 07:42 (UTC)
