List of clichés in online personal ads
This page lacks any sort of source material and smacks distinctly of original research. While I agree that these cliches are well known as I do recognize some of them, this is the sort of thing which really needs some sort of sourcing to work. Lankybugger 15:44, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete per author. I'll save the page and, when I get some decent sources, it will return. Thunderbunny 00:51, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per WilyD and author. Interesting topic though, but I would suggest that the Personal advertisement article needs to be improved and expanded first with the help of good references. This is a topic that has been the object of academic study by linguists and sociologists, and I have put a few articles on personal ads I found through JSTOR on Talk:Personal advertisement for anyone who is interested in working on it. up+l+and 18:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete but something of the sort may have a place in personal advertisement. It's interesting, it's funny, it's just not encyclopedic. – ♥ «Charles A. L.» 19:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete funny but not for WP - imagine the avalanche of similar "lists". Try Uncyclopedia or Encyclopedia Dramatica, they love such stuff. Pavel Vozenilek 01:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WilyD. wikipediatrix 01:32, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
