"Eye dialect spelling of for crying out loud." Doing this with entire phrases, rather than single words, does not seem wise. Equinox ◑ 19:45, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep as it is attested. PseudoSkull (talk) 21:05, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- Can you read? I'm not challenging it on attestation grounds and this isn't RFV. Equinox ◑ 22:24, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- I know. But it is simply because it's attested that it should stay. I don't believe in deleting eye-dialect alternative forms just because there are too many of them, unless of course it's something like having Elephant with a definition like # Alternative capitalization of elephant, used at the beginning of sentences. Attestation is key here. I'm not saying that you challenged its attestation; I'm saying rather that because it's attested it should stay. All words in all languages that are not SOP and are attested with 3 valid durable citations should stay. PseudoSkull (talk) 22:51, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

- I vote to redirect to "For crying out loud". Kiwima (talk) 03:59, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
Redirected to for crying out loud. Note that for cryin' out loud still exists, and should probably also be redirected. In fact, we should probably institute a rule to redirect attested eye dialect variations of common phrases and idioms, if anyone wants to bother making these. bd2412 T 20:12, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
