Talk:List of nicknames for George W. Bush

message: I think I've found a general solution, that takes care of the partisanship issue. How about a List of nicknames for US Presidents page? We can start with Tricky Dick and 'the Father of his country'. If most of us can recognize which 2 presidents these nicknames refer to, then it means there is a venerable tradition of nicknames that stick.
I daresay there'll be a lot of anti-Bush nicknames, but I don't care. It's neutral to report that many people have partisan motives for making up nasty nicknames.
Better yet, list of nicknames for public figures and include everyone we can all think of. --Uncle Ed 19:22, 22 Sep 2003 (UTC)

replies: text: This has nothing to do with what google threshold is used for the creation of articles.  What has been done here is that a new standard has been set, by which, any factual statement can be deleted from any article if that factual statement cannot be backed up with greater than 1000 google hits. -BuddhaInside
The door isn?t closed to other metrics, but I endorse Wik?s suggestion that only nicknames in wide usage are added. ?Wide usage? is of course a fuzzy concept, but I think it?s safe to say that anything below 1000 Google hits doesn?t qualify, other information notwithstanding. -- Cyan 02:58, 23 Sep 2003 (UTC)

text: Again, there is nothing specific to the nicknames of George Bush here.  The precedent being set is that any fact may be deleted from any page, if that fact can be supported by fewer than 1000 google hits. -BuddhaInside
Any fact? I am bemused by the suggestion. I would expect contributors to construe the precedent as applying only to derogatory nicknames, or even a subset such as derogatory nicknames of politicians. It's moot now... -- Cyan 22:05, 23 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: In light of the recent decision to delete List of Nicknames for Hillary Rodham Clinton I am planning on relisting this one on VfD in the next couple of days.  Since a list that is exactly the same, except for a different political leader, received no objections there is no reason to expect that the community would be inconsistent.User:Ark30inf
Common on that is total outragous that Clinton is deleted and Bush 's is not 
This place has no sense of NPOV anymore Smith03 23:15, 1 Oct 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: It was actually the List of nicknames for Hillary Rodham Clinton that got deleted. (Of course it, too, is back.) Wiwaxia 17:44, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Well its not back now.  If I understand correctly, VfD'd articles that have not passed an un-VfD vote can be deleted on sight.  I sighted the Hillary one.Ark30inf 17:50, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd agree with that, especially when whoever undeleted it didn't even report that they had done it and the consensus on VfU was for it to stay deleted. Angela 19:52, Oct 13, 2003 (UTC)
Please move the nicknames somewhere else, rather than deleting them entirely. How about List of nicknames for US public figures or US Presidential nicknames or list of nicknames for US presidents and their wives? --Uncle Ed 21:42, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)

message: *List of nicknames for George W. Bush, I've let this one sit for a time to let everyone chill.  We deleted the nickname page for Hillary Clinton for very good reasons and I propose that those same reasons apply and consistency demands that we delete this one also.Ark30inf 01:11, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)
