Ripped from the headlines

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This is also a non-notable phrase whose only assertion of notability is that it is used in advertisements for Law & Order, which is not a valid criterion for notability. Hnsampat 22:43, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Move to Wiktionary It doesn't appear to be there as of now. - Richfife 01:13, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete unless sources are found. I've heard the term a few times, but I dunno if it's truly a popular term or just a neologism.  Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Actions • Words))) 01:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I see the notability issue as bigger than the dicdef one. It's true that the phrase is heard often enough, but has it been noted by any independent sources?  The article, aside from not having any references, also indulges in some speculation (i.e., "may first have been popularized in promotional advertising ...") As with the other L&O-related AfDs, I'd easily review my opinion here if at least some sourcing could be found for the assertions.    ◄    Zahakiel    ►   15:15, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
