Your Cats Dead
If it's not complete nonsense then it certainly is original research (see talk page). Delete. Thanks/wangi 20:54, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, nonsense/unsourced neologism. NawlinWiki 20:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, original research but good for Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. --TheM62Manchester 21:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, total nonsense. Casper2k3 21:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This cat's dead too. No verification, no obvious sense, and a fatal misuse of "your" where "you're" is called for. Schroedinger turned in his grave. - Corporal Tunnel 21:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * And it's "Cat's", not "Cats". - Richardcavell 23:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, quite right. My patience ran out with "Your at half-mast," but it's all of a piece. - Corporal Tunnel 23:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete complete bollocks. Just zis Guy you know? 21:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete --Moe Aboulkheir 21:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research. There's nothing in the OED, at least not that I can find. &mdash;ptk✰fgs 22:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete original research, grammatical, syntactic and punctuational car-crash.  (aeropagitica)    (talk)   23:05, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete — Doesn't make sense, and a similiar article, Geeham, has since been speedily deleted for the exact same reasons as above. It just doesn't make any sense at all, and a Google search returns a mere 102 hits, most of which come from blogs, and none of which refer to the supposed meanings of this article. In all, only ten hits are non-repeated, and they don't refer to the phrase either. Searching for You're cat's dead returns 2 hits .  –-  kungming·  2  | (Talk ·Contact) 23:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Searching for Your cat's dead only gets around 140 ghits, about 45 unique. And none relate to the supposed subject of this article either. Delete. WarpstarRider 11:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The whole purpose of the creating the page is to find out where the saying originates from. Using the example of "Nit Nurse", it has been in circulation since the early 1900's but has not been documented until the 1950's. This fact originates from a BBC 2 programme (2005) about entries into the Oxford Dictionary.  Many older people say they can clearly remember the phrase when they were at school i.e. before 1950. The people in the Scottish Borders know the phrase "your cats dead" but have no idea how it originated or where it came from.  Wikipedia is an excellent medium to find out if there is a solid base to the phrase. The phrase maybe like Sweet Fanny Adams (SFA) which has now transformed into Sweet F@ck All. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Conspectus73 (talk • contribs)  (Copied from Talk:Your Cats Dead.)
