Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Per http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/2345780/posts, some caller just coined this on a radio call-in show six days ago, the day before the article was posted. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:09, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete because it is a neologism lacking reliable sources.--otherlleft 12:33, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Aside from everything mentioned above, the article inccurately implies this is unusual behaviour for politicians. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 18:10, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! ArcAngel (talk) 19:41, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment This here AfD is famous now (sorta): Wikipedia: 20 articles earmarked for deletion, Telegraph (UK) --Milowent (talk) 20:20, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ooo, I've been quoted in the Telegraph. I guess that makes me notable too. Off to write my article, then. And if anyone tries to delete it, I'll just let the Telegraph know, and then they'll probably write an article about Largoplazo's antics, and then I'll be notable for sure. —Largo Plazo (talk) 20:28, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
