- Keep all of them. It has at least one lemming; in addition to that I suggest that this is mainly an American term, i.e. not universal. DonnanZ (talk) 08:31, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Which lemming? I find no useful lemming in “armchair quarterback”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.. In general, anyone pulling the lemming card should state at least one specific lemming, by my lights. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:36, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Don't rely too much on
{{R:OneLook}}, which is often missing some of the lemmings; a simple Google search is better. See “armchair quarterback” (US) / “armchair quarterback” (UK) in Macmillan English Dictionary. and “armchair quarterback”, in Collins English Dictionary.. - Besides, I retract my nomination: I didn't read the definition carefully.

- Thank you. That's why it's essential to name the lemming: OneLook does not necessarily have the lemming. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:28, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
