Loaded language

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

An original research essay. The article says that "loaded language" is language that appeals to emotion rather than logic and then goes on to give some examples. What it doesn't do is establish that this is a notable expression. Redddogg (talk) 06:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Widespread usage of the terms "loaded language/phrase/expression" is easily verified, but that is dictionary material. This article is a series of editor-chosen examples padded out with two unrelated subjects. WillOakland (talk) 08:14, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete but maybe move to Wikiversity where it would be more suitable. Original research is accepted there. --Walmwutter (talk) 09:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
