Grammar Nazi

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Neologism, dicdef, and full of original research. Seems to be a part of a long string of articles that we have whereby a neologism is considered by people here to be more notable (due to recent coverage of its use, see Recentism) than many established English language words which are more widespread in use, but would still violate WP:NOT hence us not having an article on these words. h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 17:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Unlink from Nazism and redirect I first thought the redirection was a bad idea because of how the expression is used, but considering that only 2 articles link to this page and that the article has been transwikied, I see no downsides to the redirection. -- lucasbfr talk 14:18, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or AccInsure. There's no reason to believe this page at this point. I also don't think that it has anything to do with real Nazism; just a bunch of garbage some guy thought up in school one day. --Gp75motorsports (talk) 01:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. There is increasing mention of this term in everyday media. It is possible to find references to it in The New York Times, however, I will not have time to cite such things until this weekend. Grammar Nazi is a widely-used term, and there is more to it than a dictionary-style definition. Benwedge (talk) 13:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
