Pangram
Trivia galore. This is not an article fit for an encyclopedia by any reasonable stretch of the imagination. coccyx bloccyx (toccyx)  18:08, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep (but by god it needs pruning!)  Coccyx Bloccyx offers not reason for deletion.   BFG1701 (talk) 20:00, 15 July 2008 (UTC) — BFG1701 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep Clearly a well-known concept (i.e., The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog). The breadth of the article is arguably excessive; that suggests a cleanup/pruning, not a delete. OhNo itsJamie Talk 20:23, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * (e/c) Keep. I've run across this enough times to know it's a well-established form of wordplay.  More importantly, however, it seems to be a significant subject in font design, typesetting, and so on.  Finally, and most convincingly, Google Scholar turns up a number of useful sources (though, unfortunately, I don't have time to go through and find the best ones).  I do agree, however, that the article is in fairly terrible shape.   Anturiaethwr  Talk  20:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Easily sourced from reliable sources. Maybe not fit for Coccyx's encyclopedia, but meets Wikipedia's standards very nicely.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:43, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep AfD is not cleanup. Notable term.  Somewhere in my library I've got a published book of Pangrams, and somewhere else, I've got a book that references it, heh. -Verdatum (talk) 22:00, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The list of pangrams should be cut down, but the page itself should stay. Scythe33 (talk) 23:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The composition of pangrams began shortly after the invention of alphabets.  A highly notable and worthy topic.  Suggest snowball close as keep. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:30, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The entire article is unsourced and needs to be rewritten, but the subject itself is worthy of encyclopedic note.  RFerreira (talk) 19:42, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
