Talk:Bullshit bingo
Article listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion Apr 15 to Apr 20 2004, consensus was to redirect to Buzzword bingo. Discussion:
- Delete. A nice idea and amusing, but not a meme of any currency. Not for encyclopedia, even a non-paper one. Ensiform 22:39, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Delete.Brilliant idea but the article doesn't and can't do it justice... the website generates random cards, while the article describes one as if everyone should have the same one. That could be fixed but it would then just be a website advert, and I'd still say delete. Andrewa 23:48, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)- Redirect to Buzzword bingo, merging anything useful but it's already covered there, and in an encyclopedic fashion. Useful redirect. Thanks Cadr for making this suggestion below. Andrewa 23:59, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I love the idea. Pity it's unencyclopediac.... LUDRAMAN | T 01:54, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Keep. I've heard of it before.Merge andMerged. Now make it a redirect. I seem to remember reading about someone passing out cards at an Al Gore speech that had his favorite phrases on them. (thanks above, yes it was buzzword bingo, much more polite and more descriptive too.) --ssd 03:09, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)- Keep: a real (if minor) phenomenon. I've seen this in the wild (i.e., a corporate meeting). Article needs to be revised away from being a web site advert. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:14, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. I've also seen this one in the wild: we used to do this at my school for the headmaster's end/beginning of term speeches. Cadr
- Looks like this needs to be merged with Buzzword bingo. Cadr

- Redirect to and merge with buzzword bingo. Lupin 12:31, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- The buzzword bingo article says the earliest known example of this game occurred during a 1996 Al Gore speech. But I remember seeing a Dilbert strip about this game which I think was earlier than that. MK 18:52, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Very famous urban legend. Everyone knows someone who knows someone who has at one time or another played bullshit bingo. BL 08:19, Apr 19, 2004 (UTC)
- Famous? yes. Urban legend? No. And under this name? No. Did you even read any of the comments above? --ssd 03:19, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Merge unique content into buzzword bingo. Isomorphic 08:32, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
