~~do as I say, not as I do~~

Delete. Again, might be a quotation, but means nothing beyond the obvious surface reading. Equinox ◑ 05:32, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: seems set-phraseish to me. We don't say it like this in Czech. And one other dictionary has it: idioms.thefreedictionary.com[1]. --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:57, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is quite proverbial so if it were purely down to choice I'd say keep. But WT:CFI has no special rules for proverbs so... meh. Renard Migrant (talk) 19:56, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Set phrase; speech act (as apology or as calling someone out for hypocrisy); included in books of proverbs in some dictionaries. (See “do as i say not as i do”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.. DCDuring TALK 22:06, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
