[edit] Attention whore

Though this may be an actual term, the page is poorly written. None of the authors have provided sources. There seems like a lot of potential for attacks. DeleteTheRingess 13:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep page obviously needs cleanup but that isin't a reason for deletion Ydam 15:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Urbdicdef ~ trialsanderrors 17:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Rewrite and cleanup, and cite cite cite! --Xyrael T 17:42, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per trialsanderrors; when your sources and examples come from forums, you probably haven't got an encyclopedia article. Sandstein 18:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and send to the article improvement drive. Thankyoubaby 19:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Question to the keep/cleanup voters: What exactly is the kind of content you envision for this article? Presumably not this kind? ~ trialsanderrors 22:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  • First of all, whether or not this article stays around, the phrase is absolutely a notable term. I'd bet I've been using the phrase for a decade, and I'm only 21. Want proof of notability. How about over HALF A MILLION Google hits for "attention whore"? Now, with that said, I'm going to vote for a transwiki to Wiktionary and a delete of the article; my vote for delete only comes from the fact that the article could never possibly be anything more than a dicdef. -- Kicking222 22:34, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep and cleanup per Kicking222. Any article cannot cite examples because that would be POV, but can probably give hypothetical examples. I can see this becoming a Wikipedia-standard article, though not a featured article for sure. If there are good articles about the term, they can be used to improve it. If not, then I agree with Kicking's vote until there are. We do have articles on internet slang. Morgan Wick 23:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
