Origins of Phrases

 * — (View AfD)

Random and unsourced list of phrases. Edison 00:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Indescriminate collection of trivia that is of indeterminal length. Lead me to see how much work is required over at Catch phrase. Worse-case resolution of this discussion: redirect to List of snowclones. Agent 86 01:01, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete without reservation; the article has no use whatsoever. TSO1D 01:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom; I would suggest transwiki to Wikiquote Wiktionary but they don't want this sort of stuff either. As per Maxwell Smart, worst-case scenario would be a merge and redirect with list of snowclones. riana_dzasta 04:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - unsourced, arbitary, trivial, woefully incomplete - thus useless - and indiscriminate listcruft. MER-C 04:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This is just a bizarre article with no meaningful or unifying content. OBriain 04:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete the examples are Snowclones per Agent 86 --Steve (Slf67)talk 05:09, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, completely indiscriminate. Godbless everyone for pointing out List of snowclones to me; I've been grasping for such a term for quite some time now.  Postdlf 05:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is stupid. The editor who created it must've been drunk or something. &mdash; Chowbok  ☠  15:51, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, speedy per WP:SNOW if appropriate - speedies should err on the side of caution, but the outcome is very, very clear. --Kizor 17:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Agent 86. Although I don't suggest redirect to List of snowclones as per other meanings of "Origins of Phrases".  Michaelas10   (Talk)   19:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete has only like 5 and these quotes can be found eleswhere but Chobok please be kind to other editors by not calling them drunk. &mdash; Seadog 19:49, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * That was a little joke, please look at the article history. &mdash; Chowbok  ☠  21:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh I see...Then it was hilarious. &mdash; Seadog 22:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with Kizor. It should probably be speedy. NeoJustin 20:45, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Cbrown1023 22:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom (and "We are all X now" is pretty generic). Danny Lilithborne 23:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom... and
 * Comment; seems like pretty good consensus - close & let's move on... SkierRMH, 09:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
