Yes, America Can!

Listing nomination from July 23. no vote. Nabla 00:42:48, 2005-09-02 (UTC)

Speculation, any content belongs in the main article on the campaign. (I hope I am not misunderestimating the significance of this). Ianb 23:11, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Weak keep. I know nothing about the validity of the article, but slogans seem as if they are legitimate targets for inclusion. Noisy 23:19, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Only speculation. And if it's kept, it needs to be at Slogan: Yes, American Can! RickK 23:48, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: This belongs in a newspaper column, not an encyclopedia. Pure speculation, and no evidence. Even if it had both evidence and fact, it would be irrelevant as a separate entry. Geogre 00:07, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Slogans deserve recognition on Wikipedia.—Mr. Grinch 01:35, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Delete speculation. SWAdair | Talk 03:53, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Slogan has no meaning outside the campaign, but would make a useless redirect. -- Cyrius|✎ 04:37, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Major slogans deserve recognition. An "apparent, unofficial slogan" does not. If this one gets to the level of use of Where's the Beef?, give it an article. JamesMLane 06:39, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable, official, or in common usage. Gamaliel 14:29, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Neutral. I've written articles on slogans before (Let's All Be There), but I don't know if this is notable enough. Mike H 14:54, Jul 24, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete speculation and/or merge into main article. --ssd 17:14, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. I re-wrote this a bit and I think it's significant. Acegikmo1 04:12, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Merge with George W. Bush presidential campaign, 2004 and delete. Unlikely to be useful as a redirect. Postdlf 04:04, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Please note that at this point, 2004-08-06, the discussion was (incompletely) closed as "not deleted" by {{{2|Michael Snow}}} (talk • contribs). See Talk:Yes, America Can!. The re-opening is due to the re-application of the VFD notice to the article, without creating a fresh discussion page or listing on a per-day page, by {{{2|WillC}}} (talk • contribs) on 2005-08-08.

• Merge and redirect, as merging and deleting is not allowed. - ulayiti (talk) (my RfA) 02:54, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• Holy crap, this is from July of last year. Redirect to George W. Bush presidential campaign, 2004, as this information is already present in that article. android79 04:02, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep/Redirect - Redirect to Wikiquotes! UniReb 11:07, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Slogans have to meet some standard of notability like everything else. Can Yes Ameri

ca, Can!? No, Yes, America Can! can't. --Last Malthusian 11:39, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

• • Oh can it ;)

• "Where's the beef?" was a significant meme - everyone knew it and understood the context. Even though I admit to the vice of following US politics closely, I never heard this alleged slogan. Even the article describes it as the "apparent, unofficial" slogan. This seems far too tenuous to support a verifiable encyclopedia article. Straight delete, no merge or redirect seem necessary to me. Rossami (talk) 21:52, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Rossami. -- Kjkolb 06:15, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. As per nominator. / Peter ^Isotalo 20:40, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
