Jargon of The Rush Limbaugh Show (2nd nom)
Delete textbook cruft. Unverified through anything other than listening to the show, of limited interest to a circumscribed minority. At the first AfD they glossed over this point. This could be smerged back in to the article on El Rushbo - a half dozen terms at most. But this article as currently constituted is ridiculous. - CrazyRussian talk/email 02:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. fancruft and Wikipedia is not a collection of FAQs. Gazpacho 04:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete list page and mergeonly those instances into Rush Limbaugh that can be strongly verified using reliable secondary sources. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 04:28, 11 August 2006 (UTC)- This is an illegal vote. GFDL requires that history be preserved. If we're merging, we must redirect. If we're deleting we cannot merge. - CrazyRussian talk/email 04:30, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oh? Fine, read it as reduce, merge, and redirect. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 04:38, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, to be really precise GFDL doesn't protect facts or sources. So if someone took the time to re-investigate and type into the article themselves very simple information (as opposed to copy/pasting) then it would be GFDL compliant. - brenneman {L} 05:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

- Keep. Qualifies for inclusion as a glossary of terms used by Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh's use of lanuage and rhetoric is widely discussed and analyzed - books and articles are written on the topic [1]. By citing an essay and personal opinion on the interest of the material, the nom has not made much of a case for deletion. However, looks to me that the subject would have very broad interest among those researching American culture, political history and etymologies. A number of the terms do seem to be referenced, but better referencing would be welcome. --JJay 12:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Provides a useful space to merge Limbaugh's new epithets as they are invented, and having them here is preferable to having articles on each. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:22, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. This page was interesting. If anything it should be moved to the "Rush Limbaugh" page, but it's definately relevant.
