List of neologisms on The Colbert Report (3rd nomination)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

An unencyclopedic list of neologisms that is hardly notable. This article fails WP:NOT, WP:NEO and WP:N dposse 22:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Past AfDs:

 * Keep but rename to Neologisms from The Colbert Report. - Richard Cavell 23:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and as an indisriminate collection and directory seeking to capture every instance of a made up word on a particular TV show. Otto4711 00:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as unencyclopedic, then salt, then bury uranium in it, pour concrete over that and forget you ever even knew this list existed. Noroton 04:32, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Wikipedia Correspondent, Wikiland
 * Delete. I love the show as much as the next guy (hell, I'm a retail customer, courtesy of iTMS), but this is just ridiculous. --Calton | Talk 05:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The show is funny, but this is an ill-conceived attempt to retell every term-related joke Colbert has told.  Not encyclopedic.  Mango juice talk 12:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, remember how Wikipedia used to resemble an encyclopedia? Just a little bit? Recury 14:29, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete ...just so we can see this mentioned on the show. ;)  --PatrickD 21:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The content of the article does not seem to be notable. Most of it is just trivia about the show.  Just because Stephen Colbert said a made up word once on his TV show, that doesn't make it a notable neologism.  If anything has made it into common vocabulary, it can be mentioned in one of the several other existing Colbert-related articles. Deli nk 23:52, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The way I see it, this list is a good way to prevent people from creating new articles every time Colbert comes up with something, like the recent Wikilobbying fiasco, although perhaps it should be limited to perennial neologisms. --Hemlock Martinis 04:28, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - How is that an argument to keep this article? If people create spam on wikipedia due to Colbert, wikipedians will take care of it by protecting and banning. Keeping a article that goes against wikipedia guidelines just to save wikipedia a few headaches in the future is wrong. dposse 14:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
