Flying Under the Radar

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Subject is unencyclopedic. Nonnotable neologism. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Evb-wiki (talk) 00:04, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Military-related deletion discussions.   —Nick Dowling (talk) 00:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The military aspects of this term would be better covered elsewhere, so there isn't really an option to develop this into an article on something other than the neologism. Nick Dowling (talk) 00:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * delete - a well used and notable term, but nothing beyond a dictionary definition --T-rex 00:50, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Dicdef. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  01:13, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This phrase is quite common, used in Vietnam, and is ubiquitous. Pernambuco Boy (talk) 01:34, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete So, today, it's an insult? There was a time when it was considered as praise.  The first meaning might be the way it's used in the msnbc article that's cited as a source, but I agree that this is a dictionary definition, and not an entirely accurate one.

 * Delete: There's a site for articles like these. It's called Wiktionary. – Jerry  teps  02:33, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary, we have Wiktionary for that reason. Abstrakt (talk) 03:31, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable neologism Annette46 (talk) 04:12, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a pretty hackneyed and obvious phrase of no obvious notability. The only source pertains to an idiosyncratic use in a single context. --Dhartung | Talk 05:30, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - classic dicdef, I'm afraid - A l is o n  ❤ 10:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreed, this is not a dictionary. As an aside, I never heard the expression used as an insult -- I've always seen it used to comment on worthy work that goes unnoticed, not inept work. Ecoleetage (talk) 11:55, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Where I am (in the UK) at least it is, it's dodgy stuff people are doing without being noticed. Not looked at all of these to see if all of them use it unflatteringly, but there's lots of refs where it's with the word "criminal".
