{{u|Horse Eye Jack}}, I don't think this meets GNG. Coverage in RS doesn't appear to rise above the level of a mere definition, with the exception of the piece in the New Statesman. Additionally, the claims that the term was actually used in Czechoslovakia do not appear to be supported by the provided source, and seem a bit far-fetched given that Czechs and Slovaks aren't known for their use of English slang. <sub>signed, </sub>] <sup>]</sup> 01:36, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

In the absence of additional sources, I think that either restoring the redirect (and adding mention of its more recent use outside of the UK) or converting to a wiktionary redirect would be more appropriate. <sub>signed, </sub>] <sup>]</sup> 01:36, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk Tankie:
there is an alternative definition - and an honourable one! I refer to menbers of the world's first Tank formation; the Royal Tank Regiment. This is the successor to the Royal Tank Corps, which itself was succeeded by the Royal Armoured Corps incorporating the old - and obsolete - Cavalry regiments. But THOSE are NOT TANKIES: who of course, RULE! Not that I myself could be accused of being in the the slightest prejudiced in any way...! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.21.66.130 (talk) 16:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
I've added sources and so on. I think the topic is worth a mention - it's one of those phrases that get used in political culture in the UK. Whether it deserves a separate page, or merging, is another matter. Jim Killock(talk)01:07, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Also, the further sections seem like original research - precisely one of the reasons this belongs in wikitionary.--Cerejota (talk) 22:32, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps, but it's also the name of a faction, and reflective of the story of the perception of a current in British politics. There's more here than would get into Wiktionary. I've removed the two citation needed tags, and replaced with the Campbell reference. The way the term is used by Blair and Campbell indicates its currency, they drop it into conversation. Hope that is ok.
