Get tough on crime

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

Nonnotable political blurb. We cannot have articles for each political rant, unless it has historical significance, not just dumb or cute or smart. Mukadderat (talk) 14:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak delete The (clearly justified) existence of Property is theft gave me pause, but then again I might point to the lack of existence for the far-more-notable-than-this What about the children?  Anyway, delete per nom, but only a weak delete because if there are notable 3rd party sources discussing this phenomenon, there may be an article here.  I am guessing it is impossible to do so without running afoul of WP:SYNTH, but maybe I am wrong.  So my WP:HEY criteria for this would be:  Show at least three 3rd-party sources discussing in-depth the proliferation of this phrase as a phenomenon (a passing mention of the phenomenon, like "Blair used the tired old phrase 'get tough on crime,'" would not count.)  If I saw that, I would change to keep. --Jaysweet (talk) 14:51, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
