Wikipedia malamanteau controversy

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No evidence of a real "controversy", no references to reliable sources. The only references cited are to discussions on internet forums, and Wikipedia itself. The whole idea that this is a "controversy" is something that was dreamed up by a bunch of xkcd fans. It's not like Wikipedia itself is in any sort of uproar about this; the only people in an uproar are the hordes of IPs and SPAs showing up here and complaining. The fact that something gets discussed on internet forums by random nobodies is in no way notable; Wikipedia edit disputes and internet forum discussions are not notable unless they become the subject of coverage in independent, reliable sources (see, for instance, Essjay controversy). rʨanaɢ (talk) 19:03, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt. There is no controversy. Just a bunch of webcomic fans angry that their article will be deleted. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 19:06, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
