English? --Connel MacKenzie 18:03, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Definitely — Google Book Search yields 366 results. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 18:27, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
It now has three citations for its one sense. Should the synonym Real Soon Now be capitalised? † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 19:04, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well, I don't agree that is "definitely." The first page of results there seem to be secondary sources (or otherwise failing use/mention distinction.) <playing my card again> There seems to be a preponderance of British-origin links there? Likewise, I don't think any of the three cites you already added (thank you, by the way) pass use/mention. --Connel MacKenzie 19:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well, they seems like examples of use to me, but if you can show that they’re actually just mentioning the phrase, I shall happily find valid citations. I recognise that the use/mention distinction can be a little tricky to grasp, so I accept that I may be wrong about that here. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 20:15, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
One in italics, one in quotation marks and one in all caps? That is still zero citations. --Connel MacKenzie 19:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
It now has five citations — the latest two have no such special formatting. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 22:55, 1 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

RFV passed. I'm a bit iffy on this, but have decided to err on the side of inclusion. If anyone wishes to re-RFV this, I will not object. —RuakhTALK 20:46, 23 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
