Proud as a Peacock

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is part of an effort to remove non-notable articles about television network promotional slogans. See Articles for deletion/Watched By More Americans Than Any Other Network for the original nomination in the series. Gladys J Cortez 20:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge - into a "slogans" section on NBC, perhaps? &mdash; X S  G  22:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I suspect that the nominator isn't old enough to remember this campaign. For those who are, the "Proud as a Peacock" slogan is (in)famous, the object of great parody and ridicule. It is not in the same category as those other forgettable slogans. -- Groggy Dice T | C 01:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment from the nominator, who happens to be an old bat...Okay, I'm 37. Point being, I DO remember this campaign, and honestly, this was the ONE item I hesitated about nominating. My main fear is "but fooby foo foo is every bit as notable a slogan as Proud as a Peacock..." Also, the bulk of the material here is more "history of NBC" and as such, could easily be put into the main NBC article. However...As I said, this was the only one that even blipped my "hmmm...should I?" radar. Let me think about this one some more...Gladys J Cortez 02:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Good work seeing the slippery slope argument in advance, Gladys. Proud as a Peacock perhaps needs a larger blurb in the Slogans section of the NBC article is all.  &mdash; X  S  G  03:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, fooled by the "ZOMGPONIES" and list of kids' shows on your userpage, should have looked more closely. But if "Proud as a Peacock" should be deleted/merged as "just a slogan," why not Must See TV? -- Groggy Dice T | C 03:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm a HIGHLY-immature 37, to be honest. (I've been told I don't even LOOK my age, which...yeah, I can live with that, you know?) As for Must See TV--had I seen a blue link to THAT bad boy anywhere, it would be on AfD as well. Where'd you find it? I tried a search for "slogans", "Category: Slogans", and "List of --- slogans"... Think I ought to?? Gladys J Cortez 03:47, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per XSG. See the article on ABC slogans. Best to bundle them together rather than creating an article for each campaign. Majoreditor (talk) 03:27, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: A "slogans" section on the NBC page doesn't work well... there's actually a ton of information in some of these slogan pages. Instead, I propose a merger in an NBC Slogans page, just condensing them all down into a single page. &mdash; X  S  G  03:59, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into either List of NBC slogans or NBC Slogans Doc Strange (talk) 05:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Hold the phone. We've got two articles solely about NBC slogans? Wow. :::rattles brain::: You know, I spend a fair bit of time IRL defending my participation in Wikipedia from those who see it as "the world's most-authoritative repository of Family Guy, Simpsons, and Pokemon references"...and personally, I think one of Wikipedia's strengths is the amount of infinitesimal detail we have about things most people feel no need to know infinitesimal details ABOUT...but two articles about the same doggone collection of ad slogans, along with individual articles about each slogan...That's too much for even ME to defend. Why do we need both List of NBC slogans AND NBC Slogans??? Gladys J Cortez 03:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * To tell you the truth I don't know. I found one, then I found the other. They should be merged together. NBC Slogans is unreferenced and long winded with plenty of opinion and original research tossed in. List of NBC slogans is simply a list. One should stay (the list perhaps) the other should go.
