Should there be a page that notes the frequency of the phrase "Ironic, Isn't it" in DS9 episodes. As there is a page that notes the frequency of '47'. I'm sure that slipping in the phrase was deliberate is there a reason behind it? I'm not the only one to pick up on it as there is a youtube video but it seems that the only character not use the phrase at least once is Morn. Lt.Lovett (talk) 20:04, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

We generally do not note the appearance of particular phrases, (at least one such page has been deleted before) at least not without evidence of a deliberate effort to use the phrase in question or other citeable commenting on it. Frankly I highly doubt there was any such effort here; one can put together a YouTube video documenting the use of any phrase throughout Star Trek; it does not mean there was a deliberate effort to do so. "Ironic, isn't it" is a relatively common phrase. 31dot (talk) 20:32, February 5, 2014 (UTC)
