Captain Obvious

Captain Obvious (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

From reading the old nomination, and the current article, there are some things to bring up:

  1. The Google hits for this term are irrelevant
  2. The sources given in the article are not reliable - Wookiepedia and Uncyclopedia are nureliable
  3. The embedded picture makes no sense, is misleading even

The subject of the article isn't notable, and has been transwikied to Wiktionary already (although, to be fair, lots of rubbish gets transwikied there anyway) Montchav 19:37, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete per above. JJL 14:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Slang (wiki not urban-dictionary) and not even particularly deep slang on an etymological basis. There's my word of the day. Epthorn 16:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - not even remotely encyclopedic --Orange Mike 17:45, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
