SOP. Added by WF at the same time: all joking aside, joking apart, which should also be deleted. -- · (talk) 00:57, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Delete (all) as SoP.--Dmol (talk) 03:03, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Keep, it is NOT SoP because joking aside is a phrase. If it were a sum of parts it would be something like "let's set all joking aside" or something like that, but joking aside is an idiomatic phrase. Rædi Stædi Yæti {-skriv til mig-} 13:31, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- I think the word you are looking for is ellipsis. But questions of that aside, you can substitute any noun phrase for "joking" here, which makes this phrase somewhat SOP-py. — Keφr 13:58, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Seeds aside, watermelons are pure deliciousness. --WikiTiki89 14:06, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Delete: Yeti is wrong, I think. See e.g. [1], [2], [3]. Equinox ◑ 20:18, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

- Keep. Pretty common set phrase. If we delete this we should at least keep it in the Thesaurus or some appendix. Matthias Buchmeier (talk) 16:10, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. Sum of parts, just like kidding aside, all jokes aside, all prejudices aside, unusual circumstances aside, etc., etc. ---> Tooironic (talk) 10:05, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
The above arguments are conclusive: deleted joking aside. The other two were never tagged, and may have slightly different issues, so as a formality I've just tagged them linking to this section of RFD and am not striking this section. IMO delete them per arguments above.—msh210℠ (talk) 05:19, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
