Mickey Mouse cup[edit]

Unencyclopaedic, POV-laden nonsense. The references given are to opinion pieces, or are referring to the opinions of fans who are obviously biased one way or another depending on the circumstances. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think it's okay to have an article about a common expression used in the sport. Northwestgnome (talk) 17:54, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep It could do with some cleaning up I think, but it seems a commonly used term in English football. I also deleted the scurrilous comment added by an IP about Scottish football. MadScot (talk) 18:03, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete I'm leaning towards a delete with a redirect to Pejorative use of Mickey's name. I don't think there is enough new information here to warrant a seperate entry, such as there is for Mickey Mouse degrees. The only references I can find on google (and also the only relevant reference in the article itself) comes from football related blog entries (i.e. opinion pieces) so to me doesn't meet the requirements for significant coverage in unbiased third party sources--Stabbington (talk) 19:14, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

here's a BBC News item from 1999, where David Mellor is quoted as using the term.(Last para)MadScot (talk) 19:55, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Widely used term. Robotforaday (talk) 16:24, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Mickey Mouse is a widely used term to describe something of little importance. If this article is kept than pages like "Mickey mouse job" or "Mickey mouse money" would be created and have a basis to be kept. Hubschrauber729 (talk) 23:18, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Mickey Mouse#Pejorative use of Mickey's name. The term "Mickey Mouse" is applied in such a manner to many things. -- Whpq (talk) 16:28, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Mickey Mouse#Pejorative use of Mickey's name - per correct usage. --Angelo (talk) 07:45, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per Hubschrauber729. Redirecting and adding to the list mentioned above is fine too, although adding every possible Mickey Mouse term to that list is not what we need either. --Amalthea^Talk 01:11, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
