Fitzmas

 * — (View AfD)

Yet another silly political neologism, just like santorum. Folks, could you please, please, please keep your politics out of the encyclopedia? VoiceOfReason 06:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Link to original debate. As with any political topic, a fierce target for advertisement and puppetry, as undoubtedly will be this nomination. VoiceOfReason 06:07, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Looking at the previous AFD, I've preemptively placed afdanons on this debate. MER-C 06:11, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, blog-based neologism. Having been mentioned in a small number of news articles is not sufficient to establish this as a widely used term. Andrew Levine 09:43, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Ho Ho Ho, i mean Delete as lacking sources to pass WP:NEO.-- danntm T C 23:26, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. This isn't even a neologism, it looks more like something made up in school (or something) one day. --Dennisthe2 00:56, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment In fairness to the article's creator (and those who support it being kept), the term is more than a WP:NFT; it is in fact widely used in the conservative blogosphere to describe the anticipation in the liberal blogosphere for the outcome of Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation. That doesn't, IMHO, make it worthy of an article in the encyclopedia. VoiceOfReason 06:14, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm actually fairly certain it originated in the liberal blogosphere, if not in the opinion pages first. The conservative side enjoyed using it after it fizzled.  --badlydrawnjeff talk 14:12, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
