Radioheadesque

• Neologism? — Kieff | Talk 22:48, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)
• I vote for deletion. This material should be included in the main Radiohead page, and we don't need an article for the adjective form of every rock band that exists. Padraic 18:22, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Post-Britpop is most fitting than Radioheadesque... the contributor must have had too much eggnog when he started this article on Dec. 25.
• Comment: This was apparently either never listed on vfd or removed out of process, so I'm bringing it to today's page for resolution. —Korath (Talk) 00:18, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - You could combine anything with "-esque." Radioheadesque has page results of "656." There is no Wikipedia article about "Marioesque" which according to some web results describes a game that resembles the "Super Mario" games. The page results "664." Even some people have used the phrase "Newtonesque" to describe the defunct Apple PDA or the famous scientist. --Anonymous Cow 01:46, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • "Goatsesque" has only 29 google hits. Klonimus 06:00, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, neologism. Unless we want U2esque and Hootie and the Blowfishesque. Dave the Red (talk) 02:24, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. --Fuzzball! (talk) 02:56, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Deletesque. Esquecruft. -- 8^D ^gab 03:23, 2005 Apr 14 (UTC)
• Delete. BD2412 stole my joke. ;-( android↔talk 03:26, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Ha! You've got to get up pretty early to beat me to an awful pun. -- 8^D ^gab 15:41, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, neologism. Megan1967 07:28, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Do we have an article on Esque (suffix)? If so may want to redirect there on general principle. Otherwise, delete. Radiant_* 08:39, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • We don't have an article on the suffix, although if we did it should be at -esque to match other suffixes (see List of English suffixes). I note that Wiktionary also doesn't have an entry for it. Thryduulf 15:34, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Radiohead. If anyone makes X-esque, preferably redirect it to X rather than bringing it to Vfd. Kappa 11:35, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect Thryduulf 15:34, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as spurious. The slippery slope of separate entries for grammatical derivatives makes my head spin and the servers quiver with trepidation. Dave1898 11:54, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
