Delete this is no more than an unreferenced WP:DICDEF, the author of which has reverted a number of times from a redirect - I think a redirect may be better, but if that's not an option, this cannot stand. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:45, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment "I think a redirect may be better". We don't redirect nigger to African American, so why should an insulting term like this be redirected to the object of the insult? MidnightBlue   (Talk)  07:12, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No we don't because we have a sourced article there. We do redirect octomom to Nadya Suleman and Louis the Fat to Louis VI of France; and sometimes we redirectly obliquely such as Tricky Dick to List of United States presidential nicknames. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 15:35, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You don't seem to understand the point I'm making, or if you do, you would apparently think it alright to have Stupid Scottish Bastard redirect to Gordon Brown. The examples you give are not at all relevant to the current issue. MidnightBlue   (Talk)  17:30, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Expand to include history of the term and its usage. Failing that, Delete. MidnightBlue  (Talk)  07:12, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Note There is another redirect at Butcher's apron that should be dealt with in the same way as this one. MidnightBlue   (Talk)  07:46, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

 * A redirect would be appropriate if this term were discussed in the target article, but it doesn't seem to be. FWIW, I could have sworn there'd been a discussion in the past about including nicknames like this in Union Flag, but I can't find it there. Shimgray | talk | 17:45, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Aha - there's a discussion here, which suggests it was included back in 2005; some dipping in and out of the history of Union Flag finds it being added and removed every now and again. I'll leave a note about this discussion on the talkpage there. Shimgray | talk | 17:48, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge into Union Flag, with suitable, expanded discussion. Cnilep (talk) 17:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge, per Cnilep. --Clay Collier (talk) 10:27, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
