Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stormtrooper effect
Creating AFD discussion as my prod was disputed. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought and that's what this article is. There are no verifiable references to cite. We certainly don't need an article about this. I think its mention in cannon fodder or Redshirt (stock character) is more than enough. Also, it should not be shorted to a simple definition either, wikipedia is not a dictionary. I know it's a cliche in use, but just because something is noteworthy doesn't mean it's appropriate for wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:Notability for info on this. Also, one could argue that the stormtrooper effect is a neologism without verifiable sources and thus an innapropriate article. When and if there are good sources to make an article for this phenomenon I'd encourage it, but as it stands this article is not appropriate. See Wikipedia:Avoid_neologisms for further info.

You wikinazis have no sense of humor. Shame on you! This article is a fabulous insertion of intelligent comedy into your otherwise boring and sad worlds. Instead of seeking to maintain the beige tinge of Wikipedia overall, you should embrace professional style attempts to add a little pop to your supposedly "world embracing" online pedia...
