Cultural manifestations of western Canadian alienation

 * — (View AfD)

I am not sure about this article. To be honest, I do not know what it is about, but I am tired and not Canadian. It may well deserve to be kept, that is why I am bringing it here, and remaining neutral for now. Apologies if I have nominated a perfectly valid article. J Milburn 22:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't tell if this is a nologism, original research, or something made up in school one day. The fact that it is "so called" leads me to suspect all three. Delete unless notability can be demonstrated. Koweja 23:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete non-encyclopedic essay that is original research and consists mostly of non-sequitur statements. How rooting for the Flames is a manifestation of western Canadian alienation is beyond me. I'm even willing to suggest Speedy Delete as patent nonsense. Agent 86 23:27, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete / Mandatory viewing of every single episode of The Raccoons Western Canadian alienation eh? I feel a song coming on... "You can run with us!/We got everything you need/Run with us!/We are freeeeee/Come with us!/I see passion in your eyes/Run with us!"

(Looks like some Canadian kids are just experimenting with Wikipedia. I've just prodded the linked to Bernie Beanie article). Bwithh 23:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete nonsense. Ground Zero | t 23:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * What, no mention of Corner Gas, The Red Green Show or the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool? Someone hasn't been doing their homework! (or should be doing homework instead of writing deletable WP articles...) I'd say this probably should get a CSD G1 speedy delete for lacking context... Tubezone 00:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. So-called "Western Alienation" is a major issue in Canada, on par with Quebec separatism, and as such is worthy of an article if here isn't already one. But this is just a stub with some OR and no sources. 23skidoo 07:10, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete it's a joke, just a giggle, not funny enough for BJAODN, IMHO, but pretty clearly a joke. Pete.Hurd 06:47, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unsourced, unvierifiable (I also suspect it's false). WilyD 22:11, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
