Talk:Jell-O Belt

message: I can find no evidence for the existence of this term outside of Wikipedia and its mirrors. Please source this or remove it, since I don't see the use of this term at all.
:You aren't Googling very hard, then.  It's a real term, used and understood both by Mormons and by gentiles, exactly as described. ➥the Epopt 18:09, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I grew up in the supposed heart of the "Jell-O belt" and am hearing it first used here. The fact that you can find it on Google is just a testament to the intense copying of wikipedia. I suggest this article should be deleted as well. --Will (talk) 14:19, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  have you seen the map? 

message: I personally have never heard this exact term before though I have lived in Utah for a few years and just outside "the belt" for most of my life.  However, the instant I saw "Jello Belt", I knew exactly what it meant, and had to "click-it" to read it.  This article should be saved if only to give us Mormons--and our friends who know us well--a smile and/or chuckle.  And as for the content of the article?  It was right on the money.

message: :Image:JelloUtah.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:JelloUtah.jpg

message: As noted in the article, "Jell-O Belt" is slang for the Mormon Corridor, which has its own wiki article (using the same map).  So why not merge the two articles?  Plazak (talk) 18:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree - this article says nothing about marketing. The opening sentence clearly identifies "Jello-Belt" as being a demographic/geographic term. "Jello-Belt" and "Mormon Corridor" are the same thing, they should have just one article, so merge. – jaksmata 20:15, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Merge. This article could be reduced to a single paragraph within the other article. Thmazing (talk) 03:11, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

text: Merge. The terms are completely synonymous and do not require different pages. Trevor328 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:57, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Merge.  I think "Jello-Belt" could easily be merged into "Mormon Corridor", with the redirect retained for the reader.  WBardwin (talk) 07:55, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge with Mormon Corridor

message: The "Jello-Belt" discusses a marketing phenom... "Mormon Corridor" discusses a demographic geography.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.45.153.40 (talk) 00:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
