Talk:Algore

"Algore" is Rush Limbaugh's purile and derogatory nickname for the former vice-president, and should not have its own page, currently a simple redirect to Al Gore. There is no purpose for this page other than as a insult against the man.

Perhaps it should redirect to Jargon of The Rush Limbaugh Show instead. --Nerd42 (talk) 02:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The nominated redirect was Kept. -- JLaTondre 00:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Algore → Al Gore

"Algore" is Rush Limbaugh's purile and derogatory nickname for the former vice-president, and should not have its own page, currently a simple redirect to Al Gore. There is no purpose for this page other than as a insult against the man. It is not a misspelling, and no similer redirect exists for "Billclinton" or "Georgebush."

Keep per nominator's suggestion that this derogative term is used on a long running nationally syndicated radio show. According to Wikipedia:Redirects_for_deletion/Precedents section 1.7, this sort of redirect should be kept if the nickname is widely known. Dgies 03:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per noms own statements that it's a nickname used on a widely available radio show. Just because their neocons doesnt mean they shouldnt be able to get to Al Gore's article. Hell, it may help them learn a thing or two. -M^ask 03:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete your precedents section actually runs 7 to 4 against. NPOV is a pillar and should trump other considerations. Thatcher131 04:41, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NPOV. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 05:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment NPOV isn't at issue here. Calcutta redirects to Kolkata, despite the Indians making it very clear that they dont wish the city to be called that anymore and find it offensive. The issue with redirects is usefulness. Is this a term someone would type in trying to get information? I believe it is, yes, so it should lead them to information. Now, if the article were written from a paticular drug addicts point of view, it would be an issue. NPOV is a strawman argument in this case. -M^ask 06:25, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment In that case, I'll withdraw my argument. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 06:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, plausible redirect, and not in itself derogatory. Article should mention the nickname briefly in context, if it doesn't already. -- nae'blis _(talk) 15:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If it's used as an insult, it is derogatory. The only justification would be if it were also a common typo. But if this is included as a typo for "Al Gore", what about the thousands of other possible typos without spaces for other articles? Rbraunwa 17:30, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This ignores one of the uses of WP: as popular culture explicator. If a Limbaugh fan is ranting about Algore, and it is impossible to tell by context whether he means Gore, Algol, or Al-jazeera, WP should tell me. Septentrionalis 02:19, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It looks like a common nickname for Gore. jgp (T|C) 07:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - it is perjorative, but it's in common usage. - Richardcavell 06:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Dubya clause. --Zoz (t) 15:29, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Even aside from possible pejoratives permitted under redirect policy, this is a plausible typo. —Centrx→talk • 22:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.

I suggest that we have Algore redirect to an article on the entire Taxula sketch.
