Sale flamand

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable insult. It is a coupling of the generic insult sale, with flamand which is indeed a Congolese term for whites but does not need this epithet. Of the refs, only two of the sources cited actually refers to the term "sale flamand" - once in a possibly over-sensationalist article about it as a "new swearword" among schoolchildren in 2007; the other to an isolated act of graffiti. The others two sources refer to the use of the term "Flamand" by Congolese people. This certainly doesn't seem to meet the criteria for WP:Notability (particularly "significant coverage") and it seems unnecessary to maintain a full article on this topic. I notice similar articles, such as "Dirty Jew", simply redirect to another page on the prejudice in question. Brigade Piron (talk) 17:19, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
