Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Word Rage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Word Rage is the angry frustration felt by some people who receive emails with lengthy attachments in Microsoft Word format. Seems a made-up term and indirect vanity. Google returns 582 matches, none of the first 10 results refers to this particular meaning. Doesn't even appear in Urban Dictionary. Wyllium 16:10, 2004 Aug 28 (UTC)

  • Delete Doesn't even really qualify as a Neologism, not that that would justify it. -TheFed 17:54, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Original research. Granted, I have WordRage even without e-mail being involved (WordPerfect 5.1 does all anyone ever needs), but this is not encyclopedic content. Geogre 17:58, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete, not an established term, most of the content is original research. I like the suggested attachment. Is there some other article in which it would be appropriate to include some of the information in this one? (By the way, within the last forty-eight hours I was sent a Word attachment that is utterly useless, as it is a proposed poster layout in which appearance and typography are everything, and it uses a bunch of fonts that are not installed by default in Windows or the Mac and is thus useless... so it's not as if I don't appreciate the issue).

  • hmm. A phenomenon looking for a name. Not sure this is the way to go about coining it. Note, most of the content by volume can be found here: [1]. --Ianb 22:00, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Neologism. A piece of anti-Word advocacy disguised as an encyclopedia article. — Gwalla | Talk 23:49, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Cleanup and move. There is a useful page called Top posting. Remove the term 'Word Rage' and move the content to Word attachments. 84.66.30.39 11:01, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
