    • Comment: While it is true that Keating once refered to himself as "The Placido Domingo of Australian politics", it has never been a common nickname for him, and it is (IMHO) inconceivable that any person would type in "The Placido Domingo" when trying to findPaul Keating. Not to mention possible confusion with the realPlacido Domingo.Peter Ballard07:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• • A play on the name ofAustralia's new Prime MinisterKevin Rudd, but while a few bloggers have used it, I see no evidence of it being a widespread nickname and so I think it is inappropriate to Wikipedia.Peter Ballard07:16, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Redirect toKevin Rudd. I recall seeing this nickname being used inThe Australian or theHerald Sun - one of the two - a couple of weeks ago. It isn't nearly as obscure as one would think it is-—arf!07:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - It is a redirect at the moment.Peter Ballard07:46, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Reply - but would anyone really type "Krudd" into Wikipedia because they don't know who "Krudd" is? The only purpose I can imagine for the redirect is so jokers can point out thathttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krudd redirects toKevin Rudd. Falls under point 3 ("redirect is offensive") atWP:REDIRECT#DELETE. SoDelete.Peter Ballard02:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
