not notable, poor citations Aurush kazeminitalk 06:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Article about a notable event and its longlasting effect on British idiom. Sourced to 3 books published by mainstream publishers and one magazine. Unless you want to suggest something that's wrong with these sources, I don't see any reason to delete. JulesH (talk) 08:15, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It is notable and variations on it is still used in Britain. Alberon (talk) 08:37, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep -- 'non-notable' is POV here, since I would say that notability has been easily demonstrated from the number of non-trivial references (including within the title of a published book!) 'poor citations' is not a reason for deletion -- if they were genuinely poor, labelling the article for 'refimprove' would be the correct course of action.

- Keep - It's a wellknown phrase (in the United Kingdom, at least), and I'm surprised it wasn't used last week. DitzyNizzy (talk) 15:32, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Looks notable and verified to me. LinguistAtLarge • Msg 16:18, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - this event and the subsequent usage of the idiom is still significant in the British psyche after 17 years. Also interesting as one of the few idioms whose origin we can reliably trace back. Thehalfone (talk) 20:24, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
