¡Ay, caramba!

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article is a neologism and is heavy with unsourced information, my efforts to remove unsourced information and my efforts to redirect this article to Bart Simpson which is the only sourceable reference to the phrase have been objected to. Cat-five - talk 16:27, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. We don't need encyclopedic articles on the usage of every combination of expletives that have ever been used in popular culture. Even a redirect would be of questionable relevance. Keep. Good rescue effort. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 16:57, 25 June 2010 (UTC) 01:06, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep A lot of the information should be sourced properly, but I believe the information is out there, often under the anglicised spelling of Aye Carumba.--TimothyJacobson (talk) 19:30, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per TimothyJacobson, WP:BEFORE. Bearian (talk) 01:16, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The exclamation is not a neologism as I have added some citations relating to its popularity in the 1780s. The idea that this should be an exclusive reference to Bart Simpson is absurd recentism.   Colonel Warden (talk) 08:41, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per Col Warden and as I've mentioned to Cat-five before - Don't demolish the house while it's still being built. --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 11:03, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Note - The articles is 5 years old. How come all of a sudden it's unacceptable? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 16:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - The core premise that it's a neologism, i.e. a newly coined word, is clearly false. I was hearing that phrase in my Spanish class, decades before Bart Simpson came along. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 16:21, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It's also worth pointing out that "Don't have a cow" didn't originate with the Simpsons either. That's another one I used to hear back in the 60s. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 16:23, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Right then, per BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, I'm going to do just that. --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 09:07, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - per Colonel Warden's edits and observations. ¡Ay, caramba! is not neogolism. moreno oso (talk) 16:12, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A notable expression, used for centuries, and seen in many notable media.  D r e a m Focus  18:59, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Colonel Warden. Soxwon (talk) 05:23, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
