This page has been removed twice ie replaced with the original redirect to Usemention distinction On the second occasion  at least had the common courtesy to follow policy and provide an edit summary Since the article was my contribution and since I feel that Wikipedia should include an article on this subject I am responding here  The edit summary states This page is nothing but WPOR There is no fallacy Best as a redirect  The last point might have force if usemention fallacies were defined on the redirect page but they are not Indeed they are not mentioned at all Furthermore I can make no sense of the second point Interpreted as there is no such recognised thing as a usemention fallacy it is obviously false as can easily be shown by a google search use mention fallacy The first ten results alone include citable examples dating back more than three decades Specifically John R Searles December  review of Toward a Linguistic Theory of Speech Acts by Jerrold M Sadock in Language There seems to me to be several massive usemention fallacies in this  But this has the effect of building a persistent usemention fallacy into  I dont want to insult Snalwibmas intelligence by implying he or she didnt bother to try this search but I cant otherwise understand the criticism  Im less sure of my ground when it comes to the allegation of WPOR The example isnt mine but I got it from the oral tradition and changed nigger to honky mainly because Im white myself so cant cite anything to justify it But I dont accept that inventing illustrative examples counts as WPOR If it did the consequences for Wikipedia would be unfortunate for whereas it might just be possible to quote a citable definition under fair use of copyright quoting copyrighted examples is surely not on So contributors must invent them if we are avoid an encyclopedia of merely abstract prose that only makes sense if you already know what it means As if there werent enough of that in Wikipedia already  Accordingly I am minded to recreate this page with a couple of suitable citations added
