Principle of Evil Marksmanship

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Needs a new set of eyes, previous AfD closed as no consensus in 2006. Lack of significant, reliable, independent coverage. Take out the original research and it's little more than a definition from a dictionary with other non-notable terms [1]. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 21:35, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article does not have any significant secondary coverage at all, so fails WP:GNG. Beyond that it exhibits extremely strong signs of Original research by synthesis by adding footnotes to several sources as "evidence" even though those sources don't refer to this phrase, or else refer to another concept that seemed similar to this in the eyes of the editor. The only seemingly strong citations are to the "Inverse Ninja Law"...which is not what this article is about. -Markeer 00:03, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Not A Guide. I suggest WP:TNT, as the theme could be neutrally written and sourced and included elsewhere. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 03:07, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge what little is salvageable here to Idiot plot, as this is more or less an example of story elements that function only because characters lack basic competence in their supposed skills. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 20:59, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect or merge to List of film clichés. If this gets deleted, I might try to find sourceable content to add there myself. But, yes, this is essentially a TV Tropes rehash. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:04, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
