Talk:take me to your leader

take me to your leader
"The greeting used by little green men in science fiction.". I don't think so --Rising Sun talk? contributions 08:14, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Common cliche used in many movies but it doesn't have another meaning beyond its parts (unless you want to keep this as phrasebook entry... God help us). ---&gt; Tooironic 08:21, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe useful in Klingon and the language of that dumb Avatar movie --Rising Sun talk? contributions 08:30, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm. A pop-culture cliché. Equinox ◑ 08:55, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Comparable to roses are red which was deleted quite recently. Often quoted, but with a literal meaning. What's next, here's looking at you kid? Mglovesfun (talk) 22:00, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn whether this is kept or not. Equinox ◑ 00:06, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Even if this doesn't get deleted, I'll be back. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:57, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep, lots of useful things we can say about it (particularly wrt history and contexts of use) that would be impossible or difficult for Wikipedia to cover. Plus it would make an awesome Phrasebook entry. -- Visviva 17:43, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, it is Wikipedia's place to cover all that encyclopedic stuff. Let's just stick to defining words. ---&gt; Tooironic 00:26, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that's the perfect reply. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:30, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm confused. WP is barred from covering history and contexts of use unless these have already received scholarly coverage, per w:WP:NOR.  And if these are encyclopedic, that suggests that we should delete all "Etymology" and "Usage notes" sections as well. -- Visviva 18:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, what's the link between deleting I'll be back and saying that operate: comes from Late Latin? Mglovesfun (talk) 18:49, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * To recap: 1. I pointed out that there are interesting things we can say about the origin and usage of this term. 2. Tooironic stated, and you agreed, that information about origin and usage is encyclopedic and doesn't belong in Wiktionary. 3.  I pointed out that this would seem to bar such information from other entries as well, with rather far-reaching consequences.
 * IMO there is a perfectly reasonable case to be made that noncompositional pragmatic/discursive characteristics are not sufficient (by themselves) to justify inclusion. (I believe the community has come down on different sides of this issue at different times.)  But that does not make such information encyclopedic; at worst, it is lexical information that we just don't happen to be interested in. -- Visviva 19:10, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That makes more sense. Having said that, I don't see why encyclopedias have to ignore lexical material - what about and ? Mglovesfun (talk) 19:23, 27 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry if I my post was confusing. What I meant was that it's Wikipedia's job to document detailed, enyclopedic information about a whole range of stuff, catchphrases included. The phrase take me to your leader has no meaning beyond the sum of its parts, and would be better off in something like WikiQuote. As for it being a suitable candidate for the Phrasebook, I beg to differ. In what situation would anyone ever need to say such a phrase? It's funny, sure, but has no practical use. ---&gt; Tooironic 22:10, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
