Relevant Policy
Just because this is a popular phrase/slogan doesnt mean it needs a article. It's been a merge/redirect candidate before and moved to various McDonalds articles, yet various authors have moved it back here. If there are any solutions, ie re-directing or transwiki it somewhere, then I won't stand in the way. NO VOTE for now --Arnzy (Talk) 04:12, 21 April 2006 (UTC).[reply]
- After looking at User:Porge's provided link, which proved the slogan was at one stage used by "one word". However, we can't have separate pages on every single advertising slogan, so it'll be better merging all McDonalds related advertising slogans to a single page ie List of McDonalds advertising slogans. So Create and MERGE information into List of McDonalds advertising slogans. --Arnzy (Talk) 00:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or merge into a relevant McDonalds article. Bige1977 04:54, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Must we have an article on every advertizing slogan, even if well known? Plopplopfizzfizzohwhatareliefitis?--Fuhghettaboutit 05:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- LOL, I'd say Move someplace as there is some actual info here, but I'm not sure where, as the article name appears to be incorrect (note to admin: this is not a keep or delete). Just another star in the night T | @ | C 08:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or merge into McDonalds.--Dakota ~ 08:09, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Most Americans know this phrase better than the Pledge of Allegiance, which also has its own article. --Mosquitopsu 12:26, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into Big Mac. Fetofs Hello! 14:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep and move to Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. A noteworthy slogan; but I don't ever recall seeing it in print as a single word. Smerdis of Tlön 15:05, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge/Redirect — Per Fetofs. — RJH 16:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It is an extremely well-known slogan, and the article is quite encyclopedic (with history of the phrase, cultural references, etc.), so I think it should stay. Based on current voting, it looks like this could get deleted, but I personally don't think it needs to be. I might suggest moving the article to the phrase (separated by spaces and commas as opposed to one word), but I think the slogan is notable enough to remain on WP. -- Kicking222 16:26, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, no merge, no redirect. Angr (talk • contribs) 17:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep, but move per Smerdis of Tlön and Kicking222. BryanG 18:11, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep per usage in pop culture. It's only a weak argument for keeping it, though. --Elkman - (talk) 18:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- If there is a list of advertising slogans, move it there. If not, delete.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 19:37, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If there is a list of McDonald's advertizing slogans (or more generally, a list of fast food slogans or a list general of advertizing slogans) then merge' there. If not, rename this article to something like advertizing slogans of McDonald's.Q0 19:46, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]- No Vote: There is a Category:Advertising slogans which has slogans I feel are noteworthy enough for their own article, so I guess I've decided that there can be a single article on an advertizing slogan. However, we can't have an article for all advertizing slogans. I don't know where to draw the line between which slogans are noteworthy enough and which are not so I am going to take back my vote.

- Merge to Big Mac. This is a terrible title. You would never search for something this long except via google. --Mmx1 20:30, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Big Mac, I'm sure the occasional person will try typing this in. --AlexWCovington (talk) 21:18, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I can't really see anyone trying this as a search term, and even less so also spelling it correctly. Hirudo 22:30, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, well-known slogan, wikipedia users are mostly familiar with the use of the search feature and/or internal links. Kappa 22:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge. Seems somewhat well known yet does not need its own article. SorryGuy 23:34, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete ad Funky Monkey (talk) 01:20, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Big Mac. The phrase is of some reasonably encyclopedic cultural importance, but not as its own article. MCB 04:37, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong speedy delete. Ad and clearly a joke. --Strothra 15:26, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- weak keep i'm not sure about it all being one word, but it's better than the pepsi one at least. M1ss1ontomars2k4 06:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Smerge to Big Mac, no redirect (when was this ever used as one word?), perhaps redirect to Big Mac from Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun Шизомби 14:28, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Kappa. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 00:49, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:15, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and Redirect - the concept is encyclopedic, yet I don't think the topic is notable enough. Put a prominent link to this discussion on the talk page of the redirect, strongly suggesting that it not be recreated on its own. GRBerry 02:19, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge. I don't think it should be a redirect, as it's actually not the right slogan. Am I crazy or were there tomatos in there somewhere? Keppa 03:36, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Nevermind. I was wrong, no tomatos. Redirect also. Keppa 03:38, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep and rename to have proper spacing and punctuation. It's culturally significant, and it is a well-done article. Too bad there's no good way to truncate the title. --Icarus 10:51, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, no merge, no redirect. San Saba 11:00, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Very notable term in regards to McDonalds. Well known enough to warrant own article.--Cini 16:27, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Unlike the Pepsi article, it has actual additional info porges 22:53, 24 April 2006 (UTC) Oh and: [1] for those who haven't seen it as a single word ;)[reply]
- Keep. Funnily enough, I heard this reference from two different people. Apparently it was so catchy in the 1970s that some of my friends' parents still know this by heart. I think that proves its staying power and notability to me. Mike H. That's hot 08:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, no merge, no redirect. (Mukadderat) 17:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and move to Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun if reliable sources can be added. If not, redirect to Big Mac without prejudice. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 20:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename or Merge I am old enough to remember this and some of the stupid jokes to reference it. The name of the article is completely inappropriate and should be changed. Could be merged with something else McDonalds related as trivia. --TrollHistorian 15:11, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Move. Has useful info, put it under aMcdonalds article. Coolm9. That's not 08:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 40.128.160.134 (talk) [reply]
