Unsourced trivia; can't see it being more than a list of works that have used this phrase. Suggest deletion so that the identically named film can be moved here. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 05:54, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. I think we can bring this one back.  I've removed all the cruft, but the sourcing is weak.  It seems a notable expression, so I've tagged it with the rescue tag in hopes of attracting editors' attention to this article to make improvements to it.

 * Keep It's notable, of course, so I have added a citation. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:11, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep of course. Do we really need a reliable source to tell us that McDonalds is a restaurant that sells sandwiches with beef patties (why are they called ham burgers when they are made of beef? - never mind, that is a different discussion). "The King" was an iconic personality, the expression has found it's way into mainstream parlance because of this. -- JHvW  (talk)   02:23, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable American idiomatic expression. Article is in flux right now, but I think the article can end up being more than a dicdef. Herostratus (talk) 03:36, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable without a shadow of a doubt. No shortage of sources available, and plenty of scope for a short, well-constructed article that is more than just 'a list of works that have used this phrase'. --Korruski (talk) 12:32, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * An option might be a merge to Cultural impact of Elvis Presley. Fences  &amp;  Windows  14:08, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
