Rotten Parliament

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:POVFORK of Disclosure of expenses of British Members of Parliament which adds nothing new to the existing article. The title itself does not appear especially notable and does not appear to have received any news coverage in the wake of the disclosure based on Google News.

 * Strong delete - this page has obviously been written to pursue an individual POV. Both unsourced and unbalanced. TerriersFan (talk) 01:04, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as POV fork. The term "Rotten Parliament" was used in a Mail on Sunday opinion piece two weeks ago and seems to have leaked into the blogosphere, but this article is essentially a fork of the Disclosure of expenses article as Catalyst says in the nom.

 * Delete, but I believe we may need to look into adding redirects to the page on this particular Parliament before too long. Still, none of the terms merit a page of their own unless they become truly widespread in use and there's a particular history behind them.Tyrenon (talk) 01:18, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete without prejudice to potential eventual re-creation. History is full of epithets for particular Parliaments (e.g. Rump Parliament, Barebones Parliament, Addled Parliament, Long Parliament).  It's yet to be seen whether this particular coinage "has legs". - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:35, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
