[edit] You're fired

This appears to be no more than a dictionary definition of the phrase. Unless it can be expanded to include more detail (which I doubt) it should be deleted. Foosher 16:13, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

• Cleanup - I hate to vote this way, but I think it is worthy of a stub, between Trump's usage of it on The Apprentice, and the general meaning... Staxringold 16:14, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Donald Trump. As a television catchphrase it's worth mentioning in his article. It has no larger cultural significance. Durova 16:21, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It has the general meaning as well. 64.194.44.220 16:29, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
  • The user above 64.194.44.220 was the author of the article. •DanMS 16:58, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Why does that matter? Who cares? 64.194.44.220 14:23, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Because the author's opinion about the article's worthiness to be in Wikipedia is most certainly going to biased in favor of it. Peyna 15:30, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Please read WP:AFD, section Afd etiquette: “If you are the primary author or otherwise have a vested interest in the article, say so openly, and clearly base your recommendations on the deletion policy.” •DanMS 17:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep provided it primarily sticks to its useage by Trump. As a notable early to mid-2000s catchphrase it's as worthy of an article as Where's the beef? and Wassup. 23skidoo 16:49, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
• Revert. This article was originally a redirect to The Apprentice but a contributor wrote the article as it stands now. This is nothing more than a dictionary definition of a phrase. •DanMS 16:58, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or Revert; as it is now, it's a rephrasing of the title. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 17:24, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete it's just a dicdef and is already mentioned in The Apprentice. Gimboid13 20:31, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom -Doc ^ask? 21:38, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
• Revert to redirect Renata3 22:47, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete including the prior redirect - this content is non-encyclopedic. Bwithh 23:11, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom Dbchip 23:12, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
• Revert to redirect. The Apprentice usage can be mentioned there, and its broader usage is covered at termination of employment. HollyAm 00:33, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Why not redirect it to termination of employment and then mention there that it redirects there and information about the Apprentice version is explained at The Apprentice, since the term is more common in the sense of termination of employment. Foogol 04:37, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • The phrase is also used by at least one pottery company as a trademark; perhaps a disambig is in order with links for the TV show, termination of employment and pottery companies or something. Peyna 18:05, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Revert per DanMS. Stifle 01:23, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Donald Trump. Firebug 04:38, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I don't see any reason to have articles for various public figures catch phrases redirecting to them. Peyna 06:29, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to termination of employment. -Sean Curtin 04:04, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• keep please this is very popular phrase Yuckfoo 01:15, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to termination of employment (as per Sean Curtin) – ClockworkSoul 08:12, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Disambig to both suggested redirect targets. Youngamerican 16:23, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - as catch phrase from Donald Trump's show The Apprentice. Usage very common. Zordrac 11:39, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
