editorializing, etc. In many ways, Limbaugh's manufactured terminology is a defining characteristic of his show, just as such terminology often is with any show. At most, I'd merge it back into the Show article (e.g., South Park's "jargon" schtick is all contained within the show's main article). We have an entire article dedicated to what various abbreviations in World of Warcraft mean. That's far closer to documenting definitions than this article is, and I think neither needs to be removed per policy.

So no, particularly considering the context of all those other noms, I think the nom is pretty clearly not a case of anti-Limbaugh bias. There is no doubt a place for all of the lists (internet, railfan, Limbaugh jargon, etc.) somewhere on the web, just not here. I don't know where you get the idea the Limbaugh list is all cited; aren't there just seven cites on the page? 140:). If somebody disputes the use of a term on the show, it can be verified by pointing to an episode of the show in which the word was used.

I don't hate Limbaugh (or are even very familiar with him) . . . my vote was due to the fact that the article seemed like a list of new words coined and that WP is not a dictionary or list of slang, although there are lost of entries that seem to violate that idea.

It needs a lot more context. When Limbaugh uses these nicknames, how does he use them? Does he say something like "So and so, or as I like to call him, (insert puerile pun here)" or does he say the nickname without ever using the person's real name at all? If the former, or in the cases where the

so much as schtick. Some of it is manufactured terms, some are portmanteaus and some are just puns, but it's almost all part of Limbaugh's satire and sense of humor/comedy routine, none of it is about creating new definitions or establishing new jargon. It's about commentary, satire,

Keep or Merge- the article would stand alone because Rush Limbaugh's name provides enough context by itself. Perhaps the name of the article should make reference to parlance rather than jargon. This way people will not mistake Limbaugh's sarcasm and humor for neologisms.
