Strong language

 * — (View AfD)

This is a wholly banal and unencyclopaedic article based vaguely around an "Explicit content" label. It is an essay, not an article. Despite being flagged for substantial improvement almost since its creation there have been no substantive improvements and it remains totally below standard, even for the alleged stub status it claims.

 * Redirect to profanity, which deals with the same topic better. The idea that certain words in language are considered "strong" is encyclopedic and notable. Tarinth 18:14, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I never disputed the concept, just the article :) Fiddle Faddle 20:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect - to Profanity. No need to have two articles on the same topic. Jayden54 18:38, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - as nominator I would have redirected it instead if I had realised the other article existed. I have no objection to a speedy close as a redirect if a passing admin wishes to do that.  The Profanity article is a real article whereas the nominated article is a banal essay which was created by an editor who was prolific as a creator, but, regrettably, the quantity of the articles was inversely proportional to the quality despite many editors who attempted to offer help and advice.

 * Redirect to Profanity, per above users. Maybe add the termanology to the opening paragraph of that article. Bob talk 10:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
