Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... in its current state it is objective and accurate. --97.118.131.86 (talk) 02:55, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted as an attack or a negative unsourced biography of a living person, because... (your reason here) --Daveandaustin (talk) 03:05, 20 October 2012 (UTC)It is a clear definition of flip flopping. To lie without regard for fact checking or truth. Essence of what is wrong with pollitics. Fact trumpts Fiction.[reply]

Could go either way

I suggest caution and deliberation. The term is derogatory, but it may enter the political lexicon, and may become a household term at some point. If that comes to pass, Wikipedia would do well to chronicle the history of the term. If not -- it is derogatory and Wikipedia serves no purpose by keeping it alive. Sue D.

Removed speedy deletion

...because a WP:G10 that blanks the page is absolutely silly. I don't find the topic notable at this time myself, but please nominate it without blanking it for no valid reason. – 2001:db8:: (rfc | diff) 03:20, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Serioulsy, is this the purpose of WP? Some moron makes up a word to attack a living person and that is OK? Arzel (talk) 06:04, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Blanking a page because you don't politically agree with it is okay in response? Covering political usage certainly isn't the same as an "attack page." There are legitimate reasons to nominate the content for deletion I'd say, that don't require *censoring it entirely*. Which is what you did. – 2001:db8:: (rfc | diff) 11:55, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Check yourself there buddy. I didn't blank the page, I nominated it for deletion. Made up words are for the Urban Dictionary, not WP, especially those that have just been created. Arzel (talk) 13:58, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so you didn't blank it yourself. You added a broken G10 template, which someone corrected for you, blanking the page...as would've happened if you'd correctly added the template yourself. (Or just followed the instructions: "Please also blank the page when applying this tag.") – 2001:db8:: (rfc | diff) 14:14, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Original Research

That some other made up words may have been used in the past ar similar is not relevant to this made up word. We need secondary sources that make the connection and what that connection is. If you want a word on Clintonesia than go submit that for a new article (which I will then also submit for deletion.) Arzel (talk) 14:52, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody is making a connection, simply pointing out a similar pun on "amnesia". Another politician using his opponent's name and "amnesia" in basically the same fashion is inherently related. An article on Clintonesia would be excessive (as is this article, but pruning content based on apparent political views is not reasonable.) – 2001:db8:: (rfc | diff) 15:04, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
