 * Not a common nickname for Paul Keating, so Delete Peter Ballard 07:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: While it is true that Keating once refered to himself as "The Placido Domingo of Australian politics", it has never been a common nickname for him, and it is (IMHO) inconceivable that any person would type in "The Placido Domingo" when trying to find Paul Keating. Not to mention possible confusion with the real Placido Domingo. Peter Ballard 07:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Kill pointless and ambiguous. -- Thin  boy  00  @140, i.e. 02:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

 * A play on the name of Australia's new Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, but while a few bloggers have used it, I see no evidence of it being a widespread nickname and so I think it is inappropriate to Wikipedia. Peter Ballard 07:16, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kevin Rudd. I recall seeing this nickname being used in The Australian or the Herald Sun - one of the two - a couple of weeks ago. It isn't nearly as obscure as one would think it is-&mdash; arf! 07:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - It is a redirect at the moment. Peter Ballard 07:46, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply - but would anyone really type "Krudd" into Wikipedia because they don't know who "Krudd" is? The only purpose I can imagine for the redirect is so jokers can point out that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krudd redirects to Kevin Rudd. Falls under point 3 ("redirect is offensive") at WP:REDIRECT. So Delete. Peter Ballard 02:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * (outdent) Bomb from 10000 feet (I have no idea who I stole that from...) per Peter Ballard. -- Thin  boy  00  @276, i.e. 05:37, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
