Not notable. Google reveals that "Merry Crisis" is something that people say sometimes, but that's not enough to justify an article. Article3 (talk) 01:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All of the Google News hits are copies of the same AP article as far as I can tell--It contains one sentence that mentions this phrase. The number of Google hits is obviously meaningless unless some of them are reliable sources.Article3 (talk) 02:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Although the term's appearance in the 2008 civil unrest in Greece is notable in itself, the term has also appeared elsewhere. Dorcas Hardy, a former US

• Delete It is a term, not a topic. It could appear in every piece of literature ever, but that doesn't promote it to anything more than a very notable exclamation, which is on the fringe of not even being considered a dictionary definition. - Jimmi Hugh (talk) 17:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete a very minor meme, with minimal documentation. We do cover these slogans, but not that this trivial level. The entire actual AP story is about one slogan painted on one wall, once, during one demonstration. And the picture which is the evidence shows a different slogan entirely. The rest is dependent on a single group's self publicity. DGG (talk) 18:51, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
