[edit] James Bond Pun

James Bond Pun (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete - there do not appear to be reliable secondary sources of which the term "James Bond pun" is the subject, per WP:NEO. People have used these sorts of puns before Bond and the implication that the form arose with Bond smacks of original research. May implicate Wikipedia is not a directory, since the bulk of the article is a loose association of quotes. Otto4711 18:58, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Truly a great collection of puns. Unfortunately, the neologism cannot be sourced and thus usage of the term cannot be verified. I don't think there is a way to work these into the main Bond article, but they are good for a chuckle. --Cyrus Andiron 19:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and/or de-generalize and rename to "List of James Bond puns". I'd agree that the article's apparent attempt to label this as a general term originating from James Bond but applicable outside of that context is OR. That needs to go. But the list of quotes itself is entirely from actual Bond movies. So why couldn't that be merged in to the James Bond article and/or made a list article? For example, the article currently has a section talking about his use of gadgets in general, with that section containing a {{main}} article tag pointing to a separate "List of James Bond gadgets" article listing specific gadgets. The use of the puns is a recurring theme throughout all the bond movies, just like the use of gadgets is. So why can't something like that be done with the puns? Mwelch 21:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

• Because as a list article it's still just a collection of trivial quotes. Otto4711 21:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as funny as this is, its not encylopedic and it has to go. DBZROCKS 21:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as if this is a List of James Bond puns it should be on Wikiquote, and if it's an article about puns in James Bond it would be better to include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and other action stars known for esprit d'escalier lines on exeunt, and it isn't nearly fleshed out for that. --Dhartung | Talk 22:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
