Soviet Canuckistan

I actually kind of like this page (especially the flag), but I just can't make the case for keeping it. Too obscure. -Litefantastic 14:33, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. This is a bizarre nomination. The nominator admits to using Wikipedia to propagate amerime, a term s/he claims to have coined to describe anime created in the United States. That article appears to have been speedy deleted after the article was re-created following a successful VfD. Now Litefantastic comes here to nominate for deletion a term coined by a well-known American broadcaster and former candidate for the presidency of the US on US television, and says that the term is "too obscure". Surely Pat Buchanan is not more obscure than Litefantastic, whoever he/she/it may be! The term itself received considerable attention in Canada, and was embraced by many here.

- Objection withdrawn. You've got me boxed in. :) -Litefantastic 16:18, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge/Redirect to Pat Buchanan page. (I can't believe the controversy section for Pat Buchanan is so short. :) — RJH 16:29, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep in case someone hears the term and wants to find out what it is. But it needs references, especially concerning the flag. (Who designed it? Is it Wikipedia-internal or is it independently established?) --Angr/_(comhrá) 18:14, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep well known here, eh comrade? DJ Clayworth 18:17, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep - Related to other well documented Wikipedia topics such as Jesusland. JoeHenzi 21:27, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Noteworthy. Jayjg ^(talk) 22:29, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. It's absolutely noteworthy and deleting it would be completely POV. -- Old Right 01:30, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep Notable communist country. Klonimus 08:19, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep Not obscure to thirty million Canadians. Denni ☯ 00:52, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)
Merge and redirect to Pat Buchanan. Political epithets should be discussed in context. Rossami (talk) 22:20, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge and redirect as above. Hardly even worth that, since claims of post MSNBC notability is unverified. --InShaneee 16:55, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete or merge. It is material worthy of a sidebar discussion in Pat Buchanan.Gmaxwell 20:37, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. This is just plain stupid. 198.82.71.55 00:58, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- This user just vandalized Pat Buchanan page. Pavel Vozenilek 01:42, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - You might think that his edit is not the best example of an edit on wikipedia, or that it has an unfortunate POV slant, but there is absolutely no reason to believe that it was a bad faith edit. It's not acceptable to label everything you disagree with 'vandalism'.Gmaxwell 17:03, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Robinoke 16:07, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge and redirect to Pat Buchanan. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 17:06, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Just as worthy of inclusion as cheese-eating surrender monkeys or Jesusland map, IMHO. I knew the term well before I learned it was associated with Pat Buchanan. - Seth Ilys 17:07, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep No plausible reason for deletion of this article has been advanced. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:12, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
