 * Delete. A euphemism coined by a sportswriter seems a little weak for an article.--Mike Selinker 23:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Don't see how this can be an article. I would say merge, but it doesn't look like it should mentioned there also.++ aviper2k7 ++ 23:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. A euphemism coined by a sportswriter for ESPN, which puts it head and shoulders above other sports euphemisms. A straight Google search with "Manning face" turns up a large number of uses of the phrase. Searching Google News brings up a few more hits of substance, including AOL Sports and an article citing the background of Simmons' coining of the term. With all of this in addition to the sources referenced in the article, it shouldn't fail on notability. Full disclosure: I wrote and researched the article. fethers 04:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - at best, this is a dictionary definition. -- Whpq 22:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Bill Simmons. AfD precedent shows that Simmons-coined phrases end up being merged into his article, for instance Ewing Theory and Reggie Cleveland All-Stars. Slic e NYC (Talk) 22:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Bill Simmons per above. This is sourced material, it is just probably not notable enough for its own article. VegaDark 20:44, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
