Think of the children

 * Think of the children was nominated for deletion on 2005-07-22. The result of the discussion was "keep".  For the prior discussion, see Articles for deletion/Think of the children.

I read the discussion of the first AfD and I understand very little of the administrator's decision. There wasn't a single keep and yet the article was kept. There seemed to be some sort of consensus that giving this Simpsons quote its own article is a bit over the top. The page's content hasn't changed much one year later, so I hereby nominate it again.

 * Article merger is an implied keep, because merger does not involve deletion at any stage. See Guide to deletion. Uncle G 16:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Uh, if people agree to merge an article, that doesn't mean you close it as keep and do nothing. That means you close it as merge and merge it. That isn't what happened in the first one though, the closing admin said there was no consensus to either merge or delete (so he probably shoud have said "no consensus" instead of "keep" but same thing really).

 * Delete, the quote is mentioned in the Helen Lovejoy article. Not really anything new here that would make any sense at that article. Recury 17:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - plenty of people have used this line independant of the Simpsons. Kovat used it when encouraging Chief O'Brien to admit his guilt, for example.  There is nothing worth merging and if the article were to be merged, it would necessitate this article sticking around as a redirect for GFDL reasons.  Since, obviously, that redirect would be pointless, please delete without a merge. BigDT 17:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
