Load bearing boss
This was proposed for deletion recently by someone who described it as "a made-up article with no references." The tag has been removed but the article remains an unsourced neologism. Perhaps we could find some reliable sources for this, and perhaps if not we should delete. --Tony Sidaway 23:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete made up or not, the article is pure cruft, especially the list of video game examples. -N 23:22, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as neologism absent a demonstration of significant coverage of this term in reliable sources. FrozenPurpleCube 23:54, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as neologism turned listcruft. Useight 00:01, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete- per all of the above. Eddie  01:14, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. QuagmireDog 02:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * delete as OR. I rarely say that, but this times it seems appropriate, as the common element seems to be the idea of the author. DGG 05:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - it's a one-off joke from the The Grand List Of Console Role Playing Game Clichés. It's definitely not notable, or encyclopedic.  --Haemo 07:49, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - A truly horrendous example of original research gone nuts. DarkSaber2k 11:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not made up, it was originally sourced to tvtropes.org, a very informal wiki. Yeah, that's still a Delete since I already copied all the items in the list over their article.Spriteless 18:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Types of bosses in video games are generally informal, and notoriously poorly sourced; this one is no different. It's essentially original research.  Leebo  T / C  19:04, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * merge info on self destruction into the video game boss article or the clichés article. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 05:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Even as a redirect, this is total neologism. Happinessiseasy 17:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
