Ghoti phonetic alphabet
Searching for "Ghoti phonetic alphabet" returns no Google hits, but I was able to dig up this which the current article looks like it might be based on. In any case the alphabet shows no signs of notability. &#1051;&#1080;&#1074;&#1072;&#1081; | &#x263a; 23:29, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's a silly thing the author just made up. Incidentally, for them what don't know, "ghoti" is pronounced "fish". --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 01:48, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability. (It was, of course, George Bernard Shaw who pointed out that in the right circumstances 'ghoti' could be pronounced as 'fish') Dbiv 02:30, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nn, original research, silly prank. Wyss 03:02, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as Original Research. Ghoti contents that it wasn't Shaw that came up with the word, actually.  Ghoti and chips, that's a meal... hfool/Wazzup? 02:44, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. Thryduulf 15:55, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not complete enough to be worth moving to BJAODN. --Carnildo 21:48, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I love word games and I don't find it amusing at all. CyborgTosser (Only half the battle) 09:42, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's erroneous as well as junk, agree not even worth moving to BJAODN. ;Bear 17:06, 2005 Jan 18 (UTC)
