What the heck
Popular but non-notable figure of speech, article is complete and utter nonsense. Wikipedia does not have an article for the more popular What the hell? Nydas 19:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Irrelevant. There's really not enough to say on the subject for an entire article.
 * Delete There might be an interesting history to write about heck just as there is for a few other curses we have entries for (Fuck) but this is unverifiable. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 19:53, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as dicdef. Anyone wanting to keep this can find an interesting precedent at Articles for deletion/Son of a bitch. Brian G. Crawford 19:56, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as dictionary definition. Madman 20:21, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as nonsense. - CNichols 20:32, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as dicdef, but how could anyone consider this phrase "non-notable"? 23skidoo 21:45, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. Popular and non-notable? Huh?  --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 23:06, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - even if the expression is notable enough, the article goes on to say Heck is a burning pit of sulfurous poo and describe Heck as a species of animal. It's rubbish. - Richardcavell 02:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to minced oath. It's one of a hundred of methods for expressing disbelief in a non-profane manner. But for the record, I agree with keeping Son of a bitch. ScottW 02:17, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
