Ratfucking
NN dictdef, delete. ComCat 03:51, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to All The President's Men. Friday (talk) 05:04, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or possibly move to a Wiktionary entry. This information and term is not included in the All The President's Men article (and doesn't necessarily apply solely to that investigation), so justifies a seperate entry of some kind.  Also, I think others should consider your massive and somewhat arbitrary VfD campaign, as your talk page indicates you're pursuing, when evaluating your nominations.  --BenM 06:30, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Its use in Watergate makes it notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 07:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Friday. Interesting context, but still a dicdef. - Just zis Guy, you know? 12:59, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Factual, verifiable and neutral. Trollderella 16:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: If the term has usage outside the book, maybe it could be its own article. But I'd want some verification of this.  Friday (talk) 19:43, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of it and it's dicdef . . . transwiki to Wiktionary but not opposed to keep. 19:45, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. --JJay 21:40, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: The term Ratfucking also refers to the practice of selecting the best parts of military rations (or rats, now in the form of MREs) and throwing away the rest of the rations.
 * Keep you guys who were born after Watergate don't understand :) --Rogerd 02:21, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
