English computing mnemonics
There are no mnemonics here, only silly jokes, all unsourced. If there are any entries that people find funny, they should be moved to a more appropriate page.— Poetlister  15:35, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - This is actually a pretty good reference...but I'm not sure if this is anything close to quotation...it's more like an encyclopedic reference. - Zarbon 15:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not quotes, just un-attributed graffiti mischaracterized as mnemonics. 67.130.129.135 20:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I fail to see the value here, whats the point? Modernist 20:53, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Contra Poetlister, I find some of them funny, but they aren't quotes.--Cato 21:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is one of these pages, like Anonymous and proverbs in various languages, which practically invites unmemorable and untraceable entries. For all we know, the people who add them could be making them up. The only mnemonics we should preserve are ones which: 1) have been sourced; and 2) yield search results showing them to be in common use.  This page should be scrapped, since it has no sourced quotes, and should not be created again unless sources are provided. - InvisibleSun 21:41, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. at the speed of light--McNoddy 07:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - although I believe we have unsuccessfully tried to delete other mnemonics pages in the past. They are just too open to spoofs and are invariably unsourced. ~ UDScott 14:39, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Transwiki somewhere - maybe Wikipedia? Maybe an appendix to Wiktionary? BD2412 T 20:10, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Whether or not they're funny is a bit beside the point. They're not quotations as I see it.--Yehudi 06:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
