241:- both to prevent cluttering up the rest of the main namespace, and because, quite frankly, as one of America's leading media personalities (somehow), what he says carries some significant weight. This list serves to further illustrate and expand upon the coverage of Colbert's tendency to coin neologisms, which has been elsewhere reported on. I'm not his hugest fan, and I would say that an individual article for each neologism would be overkill, but a single, easily-maintained list (citing sources) is very appropriate for a show of this size and influence.
300:, I actually was coming to the page to nominate it. Why you ask? They are less notable than episodes and are often one-time gags. Come on, he makes a new one almost every show. Knowledge (XXG) is NOT a glossary. Lets give the notable terms (or should I say term) an article and leave the rest to wither away. If a term can't establish itself outside of the show, it does not deserve to exist. Could the people voting keep see
304:(avoid neologisms and never use protologisms )? This article isn't needed to keep out clutter. Why not just create a short limited list of examples of his neologism on the show's page? The main argument for this seems to be that it will prevent articles about the terms...why can't we just delete them when they come?

a perfectly good article on that. Words like "jazzebration" and "wikiality", meanwhile, have zero currency outside very specific references to very specific items on this show, and thus have no place in an encyclopedia. Discuss very notable examples in their own articles; discuss less notable
196:- I get the feeling some people want to delete this because they disapprove of Colbert's stated dislike for certain aspects of Knowledge (XXG), rather than because the list is useless. As it stands the list is partially useful, but personally I think if there isn't a list of
341:
What? Are you trying to prevent bad articles by including that bad content into this one? The cure is just as bad as the disease (just less visible). Why should the writers of bad articles dictate what we keep and what we delete. They shouldn't enter into this.
77:, which is covered in the article dealing with WP in pop culture (among many other articles which mention it). If Stephen can come up with a significant number of widely-used terms, perhaps this page can be recreated; at this point, it's simply redundant.
118:
I don't watch this show, but it making up words seems to get some attention. It doesn't have many at the moment, but it might be easier to just keep it rather than have it be recreated later. That said I have no strong feelings on this one way or
229:. Be really nice to have a clearinghouse for the Colbertisms that people keep creating articles for. Maybe having this page here will save some of those neologism articles from being created in the first place.
