Second AfD I guess. Horribly unsourced, the only reason it exists is to catalogue insults (many of which I agree with). Any one of these lines could be completely made up, and some of them probably are. WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of completely unsourced insults. mboverload@ 08:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Name puns are something a six-year-old can come up with, we don't need a repository for them. BTW how is "Idiot Son of an Asshole" a pun of Bush? Gazpacho 09:13, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep and cleanup — I suggest moving all the so-called puns that do not have a reference link to the talk page and requesting a source. Many of these seem pretty inane. — RJH (talk) 15:38, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete — Agree with nom. Also completely unencyclopedic, and some seem to be borderline slander, especially without sources. Looking at the article's talk page, it appears there's been numerous attempts and talk of cleaning it up, and yet it seems to have gotten nowhere or didn't last. --AbsolutDan (talk) 15:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete — To me, the entries on the page fall too neatly into two camps: 1) Familiar media nicknames (ie Teflon President, Tricky Dick) which should and probably are mentioned in the subjects' articles anyway, and 2) non-notable, often hateful attempts at defamation or humor. — Alcuin 16:48, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete based on the fact that this article is basically a glorified list of insults masquerading as an encyclopedia entry. --Wafulz 17:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as per nom -- Whpq 21:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Most of these insults are used by various persons. Mr Beale
- Keep for the same reason as the previous voter. NTXweather 16:34, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Just because the insults are used doesn't make them encyclopedic. I could make up an insult and get my friends to say it, it would then be "used by various persons" - certainly not a reason to keep. --AbsolutDan (talk) 18:43, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This article is just a list of silly nicknames that anyone could have made up, there is no need to keep any of them, and they add nothing to Wiki --Sopranosmob781 18:44, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete nonencyclopedic, difficult to source. Sandy 20:42, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
