Talk:bleeding obvious

RFD discussion: March–May 2019
+bleedin' obvious. SOP: (adverb/intensifier meaning "extremely") +. Per utramque cavernam 14:27, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Strong delete. Very SoP. Equinox ◑ 03:41, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd be inclined to keep it. Its meaning is bleeding obvious to Anglophones but foreigners might find it confusing. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:26, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't find it confusing, now that I know bleeding can be used as an intensifier. In fact, what I find confusing is having entries for blatant SOP; I find myself wondering "why is this a thing?". Chignon – Пучок 13:26, 11 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Foreigners will find anything confusing if they don't do the absolute basic, minimum, single-mouse-click work of looking up the individual words in a phrase. Unless you think they're subhuman and subliterate somehow? Equinox ◑ 02:20, 19 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete, re Semper's point I would also delete or  (thanks BBC America!). -  TheDaveRoss  12:43, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Deleting lorry driver would have the knock-on effect of deleting as a synonym. SoP policy going bonkers - bleedin' obvious. DonnanZ (talk) 00:50, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * has for Coalmine and Collins for Lemming, so it will probably be OK. -  TheDaveRoss  01:52, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * has at least one lemming. Deleting synonyms merely because they are SoP is IMO rather senseless. DonnanZ (talk) 10:23, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, keeping with this example, one synonym might be "person employed to drive a semi-truck" which would be clearly SOP, despite meaning the same thing. Keeping SOP terms simply because they are synonymous with non-SOP ones is also problematic. Considering the term at issue, I don't see why it is any more worthy of inclusion than extremely obvious, very obvious, totally obvious, completely obvious, blatantly obvious, etc. It is OK that we have different lines for where SOP outweighs other considerations; I don't think you are wrong to draw your line such that bleeding obvious is included, I just happen to draw my line such that it isn't. - TheDaveRoss  12:23, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I am neutral on this RFD. Ironically the meaning of "bleeding obvious" may be bleeding obvious. DonnanZ (talk) 13:40, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as SoP. — SGconlaw (talk) 05:17, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as SOP. - -sche (discuss) 04:15, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
