HistoryOfBEEP[edit]
Whimsy/fiction about the origin of "beep" to mean some unspecified naughty word. -- Hoary 04:20, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)

- Delete, if Beep was some type of naughty word they are not doing the article any favours by calling it Beep - thereby negating any chance of veritability, obviously article does not establish notability. Megan1967 07:10, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as it's nothing but a silly vanity story. Radiant! 12:13, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
- So reality has caught up with something that Larry Niven proposed in the 1970s. (See List of fictional curse words. Also see expletive deleted.) At most, noting the fact that reality has once again caught up with science fiction, and that once again we are starting to walk the euphemism treadmill, is a one-line addition to beep. Delete and make that one-line addition. Uncle G 12:16, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)

- Keep. I think that, with restructuring and modification, this article should be kept because it does contribute some informationUser:Tezeti
- Good ol' Tezeti...you didn't have to!
