per .  It's obviously a phrase in popular use, but the article will just consist of a definition and a list of times it's been used. Famous people using a phrase doesn't make it notable; reliable publications discussing the development of the phrase do. Just like w:like taking candy from a baby, w:stubborn as a mule, w:like clockwork, and w:sleep like a baby, this is a commonly used term that doesn't have a notable history, so it belongs on Wiktionary.  Any speculation on it becoming "the most memorable phrase of this election" is ''|purely speculative'', and the article should be kept or deleted based on whether or not it has Wikipedia:Notability#Notability is not temporary|long-term notability now.  If it continues to be used and ''discussed'', then the article can be undeleted and developed into an actual article
