Let's just delete articles we don't
like. It would simplify the wikilawyering.
You see, I question whether if fulfils any encyclopedic (rather than
Googlebombing) purpose to list "santorum" in a nav template of 100 political
neologisms, and you come back with quips like that, and accuse people of
wikilawyering (while exhorting me to Assume Good Faith, in capital letters:
"You are ascribing motive to Cirt's activities. Assume Good Faith.").
Incidentally, I just noticed the following conversation on the political
neologisms template's talk page:
---o0o---
==Shouldn't this be a category?==
I'm not sure what the purpose of this is. Why would anyone looking at (say)
Euroscepticism want to navigate to an article about Soccer mom? Surely, this
is why categories were invented. Bastin 08:46, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
:It is most useful as a template. And yes, linguists and political scholars
would indeed wish to navigate through these articles. -- Cirt (talk) 08:47,
11 May 2011 (UTC)
::They're completely unrelated terms. Why would you have a template on
'words invented since 1973'? Bastin 09:31, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
:::Because they are of interest to those studying the subject matter from
the perspective of many different varied fields. -- Cirt (talk) 15:27, 11
May 2011 (UTC)

"Most useful". A category doesn't add any in-bound links. And that was the
end of that conversation.

If it's about the political act, it should be covered
under [[Santorum
controversy regarding homosexuality]].
Linguistically -- the term has been included in one
dictionary, and in one
book on neologisms. Some erotic books have used
it
(and we have gleefully
included full quotes from each in the
article's
references:
"She wads up the t-shirt, uses it to wipe a trickle of
santorum from her
ass, and throws it under the cot."
"Mark fucked his wife with slow, sure strokes that
seemed to the panting
Valerie to penetrate her more deeply than ever
before.
At each descent of
the pouncing big prick into her sanctum santorum,
Valerie thrust upward with
all her strength until the velvety surfaces of
her
rotund naked buttocks
swung clear of the bed"
"Then, one of them broke ranks and rammed his
blood-lubed fist straight up
my ass and twisted hard, pulled it out and licked
the
santorum clean.")
Is that enough for linguistic notability? Perhaps
enough for a Wiktionary
entry, but a whole article, on bona-fide
*linguistic*,
encyclopedic grounds?
As for the template use:
Including the term in *both* the sexual slang template
and the political
neologisms template, both custom-created for the
occasion, seems a stretch
to me.
It is not a "political neologism", rightfully listed
along with terms
like
Adopt a Highway • Afrocentrism • "And" theory of
conservatism • Big
government • Chairman • Checkbook diplomacy •
Children's interests •
Collaborationism • Conviction politics • Cordon
sanitaire • Cricket test •
Democide • Dhimmitude • Eco-terrorism •
Epistemocracy • Eurocentrism •
Eurorealism • Euroscepticism • Eurosphere •
Failed state • etc.
in a 100-term template, causing it to appear in all of
those articles.
Listing it in the sexual slang template, based on less
than a dozen
appearances in print as an actual word -- as
opposed
to reporting about
Dan Savage's campaign -- is a closer call,
but still
debatable.
I don't like Santorum either, and sorry to be a
spoil-sport, but it's
unworthy of Wikipedia.
