floated article

Not sure why previous article was deleted (maybe not done right?) It's a word I didn't know much about but found myself using so I wrote this.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 18:35, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Second thought -- just looked over discussion about why previous article was deleted, (hadn't seen it before) and the reasoning was that it was just a definition. I'm kind of thinking an article about this term would be better with examples and etymology. Still, I'm less sure about keeping it now after reading the previous discussion. I'd like it in Wikipedia but I can see reasons against. Forgot what the tag is to ask an administrator to delete this. Feel free to speedy delete it if others feel this way. --Tomwsulcer (talk) 18:39, 14 June 2011 (UTC) --Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:32, 15 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I also see the reasoning behind that action, but, too, concur that there's something more meaningful here than just the term itself.
The Washington Post described an incident as a brouhaha in which a passenger, on board a jetliner, reclined the seat to the point where it bothered a second passenger, resulting in a fistfight, intervention by flight attendants, and the plane returning to the airport escorted by fighter jets
Examples like this seem to describe a phenomenon that exceeds rudimentary dictionary definitions.   — C M B J   14:01, 14 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Why no reference to the franciphone?

Why is there no reference to "http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/brouhaha"? This is clearely a French reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.175.137.164 (talk) 00:17, 7 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Is this more than just a dictionary entry, discussing the etymology and usage of this word and providing some examples of how the word has been used? Does this have the potential to become more than just a dictionary entry, without being redundant to the article on [[conflict]]? -sche (talk) 04:01, 12 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

There is no article on conflict actually - it's a disambiguation page. There is a disambiguation page on uproar, that leads back here. Maybe the place for "minor altercation" is actually here.--User:Dwarf Kirlston - talk 23:05, 4 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
