We've Always Been At War With Eurasia

 * — (View AfD)

DictDef, unsourced, so short should be in 1984 if it is not already. Contested prod. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 02:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. One, it's a dicdef, and two, it's not really common usage. The latter disqualifies it from a transwiki.  --Dennisthe2 02:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * erm... yeah, that's me. --Dennisthe2 02:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Nineteen Eighty-Four. Redirects are cheap. --- RockMFR 04:05, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable and more suitable to the dictionary. --Knobbly 04:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. MER-C 04:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect per RockMFR. Just H 04:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Redirects may be cheap, but really - is it useful for this to be a redirect? How many people are going to type this exact phrase into Wikipedia? --Dmz5 05:03, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment You never know. Redirects are meant to facilitate finding articles, and if it facilitates that rare person who types in that phrase, the redirect is worth it. Just H 17:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete and do not redirect per above. --Sable232 05:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable phrase, unverified and unsourced. J I P  | Talk 06:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, do not redirect. The phrase is never used capitalized like this, and when you search for We’ve always been at war with Eurasia (the usual capitalization), this redirect will not help you. Although not really necessary, I would not oppose creating a redirect with the correct capitalization of course, but that's another discussion. Fram 09:33, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 1984. - Advanced 17:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as a neologism per the usage described in this article and I don't see the point of a redirect. Besides, we've always been at war with Eastasia.--Isotope23 17:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * We've always been redirecting dicdefs like this.-- danntm T C 18:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete do NOT redirect. Not to usefull. FirefoxMan 16:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redirecting would be stupid. This is a colloquialised (and miscapitalised) version of one semi-important sentence in the novel, and is not a phrase that has passed into common use. No one's going to look it up. Robin Johnson (talk) 22:34, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
