The result was merge to List of ethnic slurs. Taking this in steps:

1) We cover offensive topics. Everybody seems to agree on that.

2) Although this is well-sourced, there is wide agreement here that this is more of a WP:DICTDEF than an encyclopedia article, so keeping it as a stand-alone article is not appropriate.

3) Possible alternatives to deletion include transwikification, merging, or redirecting. Of those, transwikification has very little support, and redirect and merge are about equal.

4) The possible merge/redirect targets are jury rigging#similar phrases and list of ethnic slurs. There's a slight, but probably not statistically significant, preference for list of ethnic slurs, and I'll admit to a slight supervote to break the tie in that direction.

5) There's similarly no real consensus between merge and redirect, but once we've settled on list of ethnic slurs as the target, a redirect doesn't make sense because of the nature of that list.

6) So, calling this a limited merge, keeping the result in the style of the existing list. That probably means trimming the text somewhat, and keeping most or all of the sources, but I'll leave that up to whoever does the merge. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:49, 12 November 2016 (UTC) -- RoySmith (talk) 14:49, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
