101st keyboarding division
Supposed division of US Army serving in the War on Terror; in real life, a small handful of bloggers. Google finds 125 links, less than a dozen unique. Delete. bikeable (talk) 06:12, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I've heard the term, but the article is complete BS. Nothing salvageable. Delete. Fagstein 20:56, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It's better as rewritten. Keep. Fagstein 04:32, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as complete bollocks Segv11 (talk/contribs) 06:40, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pejorative term for pro-war bloggers. In this state, the article is meant only to insult. Wisco 06:47, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, though it might find a place in BJAODN -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 07:07, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete The article has no information of research value. -- (aeropagitica) [[Image:Flag_of_England.svg|25px|UK]] 07:10, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, but rewrite completely. As written, this article is political satire, and thus inappropriate for article space. However, the use of terms like "Yellow Elephants" and "101st Fighting Keyboarders" to describe warbloggers has a lot of currency in the left blogosphere, and probably should be mentioned somewhere.

 * Delete looks like a hoax, and tagged as such WhiteNight T 09:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Eusebeus 13:29, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Load of crap! Rob cowie 14:15, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. While I agree with Crotalus horridus above about the legitimacy of the phrase, the best way to do it is to delete the current page and allow someone to create it anew. Turnstep 15:24, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't see why it would need to be created at all; I get 11 or 12 google hits, depending on the search term, and a single google blogsearch hit. bikeable (talk) 20:49, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I get 362 hits for "101st keyboard" - apparently there are some derivations in how exactly the term is phrased. Turnstep 22:35, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point; some go by "brigade". Of those 152 are unique, which to my mind is not enough to support an article in any case.  bikeable (talk) 00:13, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. We both are voting delete anyway :), so let's just see if someone comes along later and writes a decent article to knock our socks off. Not very likely, but who knows? Turnstep 02:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Maintain. It is quite relevant and timely; wickipedia should not inject itself into political debates.
 * Delete. There is nothing in this article but an injection into a political debate. There is nothing in the article that is even literally true. --Metropolitan90 07:42, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. Ajwebb 22:07, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Werdna648T/C\@ 09:39, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with warblogger and delete. This isn't encyclopedic. See, however, the example at Idiotarian of how (childish) political insults can be documented in an encyclopedic manner. --Dhartung | Talk 20:32, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin: Ewlyahoocom has just moved this page to 101st_fighting_keyboarders, so if this is deleted, please delete the redirect as well. bikeable (talk) 23:24, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin: Page has substantially changed since the time it was nominated. Ewlyahoocom 01:34, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
