This article covers a single politician's gaff which had little to no lasting impact. No sign that "fuddle duddle" carries any significance beyond this one event, has not entered normal usage. –dlthewave ☎ 04:19, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

• Keep seems sufficiently well-referenced, and still referred to in contemporary media. [1] and [2]. At worst could be renamed to be more specific, but I see no need for that. SportingFlyer T·C 04:37, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
• Keep. A phrase that is still referred to nearly 50 years later, well-known to older Canadians (such as myself). That's notability with a fuddling capital N. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:01, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

• Ah, those were gentler times when we could be so easily shocked by politicians' utterances. Now, we've got Trump. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:02, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

• Keep: Lots of reliable sources; it's significant to Canada. Toughpigs (talk) 18:55, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
• Comment I hope you know that this came from the prime minister. SYSS Mouse (talk) 04:43, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
• Keep. This is still being referenced here in Canada, and the phrase was said by the leader of the country at the time. Haseo9999 (talk) 00:36, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
• Keep: the incident and its lasting impression are extensively covered in every biography of Trudeau available on Google Books. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 14:55, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Would it make sense to just cover this within our article on Trudeau? –dlthewave ☎`

• Keep. As trivial as this may seem to the uninitiated, it really did generate enough coverage to clear WP:GNG — and it did have a lasting impact, as demonstrated by the fact that the current prime minister referenced the incident in a speech 44 years later and people still knew what he was talking about.
