C'est la vie (phrase)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

seems just a catch phrase, without significant cultural references about which we can write.--K.C. Tang 09:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Adequately covered by the entry here. Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk to me)  09:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing more important is need than is said in List of French phrases used by English speakers.  Monkeyblu e  09:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete As per above --Lucy-marie 10:30, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as essentially original research. --Nonstopdrivel 12:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary.--Edtropolis 14:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep common and widely used phrase in English; appears in songs etc.; as deserving as Have one's cake and eat it too etc. JJL 17:03, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Adequately addressed on the C'est la vie page, although that article also contains a whole lot of other junk, apparently in an attempt to catalog every time the phrase has been used in any form of media. Propaniac 19:03, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually, now that I take another look at C'est la vie, that article only disambiguates between a radio show, the article up for deletion, and a comic strip that has no article at all. If this article is deleted, C'est la vie will have nothing to disambiguate, and so I'm not sure where a short definition of the phrase (that would have been at home on the dab page) could be placed. That bugs me a bit. Propaniac 19:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Seems like a good opportunity to make that a regular dab page without the phrase-related stuff. JJL 19:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete —  List of French phrases used by English speakers takes care of this one. *Cremepuff  222*  00:52, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This page is redundant because List of French phrases used by English speakers already explained it adequately. Also, Wikipedia is not a dictionary.--Kylohk 16:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
