Neologism, dicdef, and full of original research. Seems to be a part of a long string of articles that we have whereby a neologism is considered by people here to be more notable (due to recent coverage of its use, see Wikipedia:Recentism) than many established English language words which are more widespread in use, but would still violate WP:NOT#DICT hence us not having an article on these words. h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 17:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Unlink from Nazism and redirect I first thought the redirection was a bad idea because of how the expression is used, but considering that only 2 articles link to this page and that the article has been transwikied, I see no downsides to the redirection. -- lucasbfr ^talk 14:18, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or AccInsure. There's no reason to believe this page at this point. I also don't think that it has anything to do with real Nazism; just a bunch of garbage some guy thought up in school one day. --Gp75motorsports (talk) 01:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. There is increasing mention of this term in everyday media. It is possible to find references to it in The New York Times, however, I will not have time to cite such things until this weekend. Grammar Nazi is a widely-used term, and there is more to it than a dictionary-style definition. Benwedge (talk) 13:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
