There are no references for the use of this term with this meaning in the article, except for it's use in a single movie. The "Wired" article referenced does not contain the term. Certainly not worth a separate article. DJ Clayworth (talk) 15:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments-I see that there are no references to the term, however, the term is used in other places such as in published articles by newspapers and newsletters. Do a gsearch, and you will find the term used.-- S R X  16:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I did that. Pretty much everything I found was either a blog (not a reliable source) or a reference to the movie. I certainly can't find enough sources to indicate that this is anything more than a transitory neologism in the wake of Die Hard 4. If you know of any solid references please feel free to add.

 * Delete - I prod'ed the article and listed my reasons for doing so on the talk page. If/when the term attains widespread usage outside of the film, it should be remade based upon that. Until then, what's already on fire sale seems to me to be adequate. --DarthBinky (talk) 18:01, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
