Lord Privy Seal (term)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I have been unable to find any references/sources/cites for this supposed terminology that aren’t linked to Richard Dawkins (who isn’t even in the field). Everything seems to indicate that he either made up the term, or heard it from someone who made it up and liked it. Timwi (talk) 09:52, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep It is used in this sense in Webster's with an apparent reference back to a 2002 book by John Sergeant Give me ten seconds. The original sketch is very well known. --AJHingston (talk) 11:15, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Stub article on non-notable topic without strong sources cited. DaveApter (talk) 11:54, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge to The Frost Report. Agree it's not a made up term as such, but it's generally better practice to put memorable sketches in the article of the sketch programme, rather than have one article per memorable sketch. (If you can find coverage comparable to the The Spanish Inquisition, however, you can ignore this.) Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 10:32, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Merge, Redirect - it is indeed in Webster's (this is the correct link); it's mentioned under 'B Roll Rebus' at TV Tropes which is a bit of a flaky site but seems accurate; and the sketch programme was well known. It's obviously a bit definitional but then Wiktionary couldn't show the images. A merge and redirect will permit search while keeping the discussion in its context. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:37, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Requires some expansion but it is a valid article with at least a couple of non-Dawkins references as detailed above, perhaps it could be incorporated into another article? Hideki (talk) 12:49, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to The Frost Report. The term seems to be notable within the industry, and reliable sources may well exist in industry magazines/books. But if that's the case, they're not currently cited. The term therefore appears to fail WP:GNG. -- Trevj (talk) 11:20, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
