Nonsense about the blank recording at the end of videotapes. Trivialist (talk) 03:15, 23 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — Jake   Wartenberg  03:07, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge Seems of interest as a semi-notable feature of a technological era. ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:58, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge There's nothing here that couldn't be mentioned (as a sentence or two...) in White screen of death. Gigs (talk) 05:12, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment. Keep and DO NOT merge. This article is not a computer topic and should not be merged to screens of death. SYSS Mouse (talk) 05:07, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into VHS or similar; entirely unsourced, no way to tell how widespread the term is. --Cyber cobra (talk) 08:05, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sources, no indication this supposed colloquialism ever enjoyed any significant use in the claimed context. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 16:06, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as unverifiable and, even if verified, utterly non notable. 52 distinct Google hits, none of them trustworthy at all, and nothing in Google News c.s. Things that are mentioned once or twice on some fora and posted by someone on Urban Dictionary should not be kept or merged, but simply deleted. Fram (talk) 13:54, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
