List_of_Michael_Savage_neologisms[edit]

A list of personal attacks. Not encyclopedic, doesn't belong on Wikepedia JohnM4402 05:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (merge and redirect would be alright, although I'm not certain there's much to merge), though not per nom, which fails to state a good reason for which deletion is appropriate. I've been considering AfDing this for a while, principally because I think it's likely largely unverifiable (at least inasmuch as many of the neologisms ostensibly come from the radio show and are not aggregated elsewhere), and in any event because Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate repository of information and is not a dictionary. That the neologisms are personal attacks is irrelevant (see, e.g., List of ethnic slurs and Wikipedia is not censored); that the neologisms (which term may be largely inaccurate) are (in part) unverifiable and unencyclopedic cruft is. Many participants in the previous AfD also offered excellent reasons for deletion, and those views should be incorporated by reference here. Joe 05:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is the first page I have nominated for deletion... I hope I got it right. I think a Delete is justified just based on what you have stated above about not being able to verify the majority of the terms mentioned in the article since they supposedly were mentioned on his radio show.

Never heard of this chap, but God I feel sorry for you Americans. Anyway, as a list of quotes, an indiscriminate collection of information, an unsourced, unverified, and frankly rather boring page, it deserves a Delete. The information should probably be merged back into the guy's main article, and pruned down to only the interesting and unusual bits, not just the boring hackwork.

I'll concur with the above. It's not like they're particularly good slurs, either. None of them have the Je ne sais quoi of, for example, "cheese-eating surrender-monkeys" or "Shatner-stealing Mexico-touchers". --Agamemnon2 10:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This stuff belongs at somebody's Michael Savage fan site, not Wikipedia. Nor would I support a "List of Howard Stern bits" or just an article on the "List of Nat King Cole songs". In fact, I'm not a fan of "Great Foo Lists" of any type. -- SeanO 11:04, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Joe. Quite aside from being meretricious nonsense deserving of caning at the hands of Singapore longshoremen, it's unencyclopedic as hell. When I was a kid they called this stuff graffiti, and scrubbed it off walls. RGTraynor 15:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per SeanO. BTW, here's the previous AfD discussion, if anyone is interested. Result was no consensus, leaning towards delete. ergot 19:21, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - None of the listed neologisms have made it into use enough as to become notable. Ironically, the only notable neologism he created (Santorum, which has gained some usage) isn't even listed on the list. -- Zawersh 08:11, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wow! It looks like the Savage-hating douchebags are coming out of the woodwork. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.35.15.107 (talk • contribs) 14:08, May 18, 2006

One doesn't have to hate Savage in order to think that this article should be deleted. In fact, I like many of his columns and enjoyed his book Skipping Towards Gomorrah. There's no need to demean other editors. -- Zawersh 18:29, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anything about him, other than that he's got a radio show and likes to call people silly names. I just don't think that this belongs in an encyclopedia. I feel the same way about most "List of X" articles. ergot 23:13, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
