This is a political protest slogan that isn't notable. Some people said "Fuck Joe Biden" at college football games and that's been of course covered by conservative press, there's no long-term significance here or in-depth coverage of the phrase itself.

Delete - clearly fails to meet WP:GNG. Yours, ToeSchmoker (talk) 17:19, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Every big-stage politician has a profane chant; this certainly isn't unique, and has no unique vocal register (I have flags in my neighborhood with this phrase, for instance, which have had it since the moment Biden clinched the nom). Nate • (chatter) 21:46, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - To quote a character from Full Metal Jacket - "What's that supposed to be. Some kind of sick joke?" GoodDay (talk) 00:29, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete WP:NOTASOAPBOX - I'm guessing we can triple the number of current articles if we have one for every hate chant. MarnetteD|Talk 00:40, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. This is not urban dictionary, and this phrase does not meet the standards for notability. Many things have been chanted at college football games, we don't have articles on all of them. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 00:41, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete fails notability, currently fits G10 standards. ~Gwennie🐈｟💬 📋｠ 00:56, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fuck is a notable topic. Joe Biden is too. A chant combining the two is not. Borderline G10 case. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:14, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete at this time. If there is a phenomenon of these chants occurring at college football games, and these chants gain continued coverage by reliable sources as a phenomenon that's sweeping across college football crowds, then an article on the topic could pass WP:NEVENT without running afoul of WP:EVENTCRIT #4. However, this doesn't appear to be the case for this chant; it seems like this is just reporting on a viral phenomenon (at least for now). Of the articles in the source, the New York Post and Newsweek articles were published on the same day, while an article in a college newspaper published on one week later. I'm also seeing coverage from September 7 from MEAWW, another source from September 13 from a local newsorg, a The Root piece from September 14, and a Dutch(?) sports news site from September 20. I'm not sure this constitutes continued coverage, though if this is something that's popping up again and again, week after week, then it very well could become a phenomenon that's worthy of inclusion. Might that happen? It doesn't matter; we're not a crystal ball. Because the article doesn't currently appear to pass WP:NEVENT, it should be deleted at this time. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 01:44, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wait. This phenomenon is continuing. See https://twitter.com/ScooterCasterNY/status/1441817704483196932?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1441817704483196932%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.complex.com%2Flife%2Fvideo-staten-island-mall-crowd-chant-fuck-joe-biden-food-court-protest-vaccine-mandate, https://twitter.com/OldRowSports/status/1441846723203125248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1441846723203125248%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_. To quote Alice's Restaurant, "You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin' a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singin' a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement." Wait another few weeks and see if this continues. I suspect this is going to become a significant political / cultural issue. Mike Friedman (talk) 06:22, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia isn’t a crystal ball, in case you missed it. And please don’t use lengthy song quotes with offensive slurs in them in place of arguments, even if you aren’t trying to annoy or insult people. Dronebogus (talk) 09:59, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - An incredibly mundane combination of words with little substantive basis for an article. "Fuck Trump" was also pretty common for a while, and I imagine we could find sources for "Fuck X person" for any prominent figure with some controversy who's existed in the past 30 years. -Indy beetle (talk) 09:44, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete under Snow - just a phrase, you hear similar at rallies and the like all the time. Doesn't mean it's anything, it's a relatively standard phrase to come up with, nothing original or new about it whatsoever. Similar has been heard for rallies against almost every other political leader in history. It's not even a phrase, just a common enough sentence construction. Even the original article creator said it's a fad. Canterbury Tail talk 16:18, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Delete most of the article, however, the information provided can make an appearance on Public image of Joe Biden. Kurt Hartman 17:54, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — What Muboshgu said + don’t you just abhor articles with 0 encyclopedic value? coupled with Wikipedia isn’t an indiscriminate collection of any & all articles then this becomes a no-brainer which ought to be WP:SNOW speedy deleted. Celestina007 (talk) 20:51, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- The "Sanctorum" slur has no encyclopedic value, yet there it sits. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:02, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
