[edit] Basofe

At best this appears to be a great article about a non-notable slang term. It was originally nominated for speedy deletion, but I don't think it qualifies. -- Francs2000 18:58, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

• Weak delete. I tried to verify not just the existence of this term, which seems clear, but the other information in the article, and was unable to do so. "Basofologia" and "Basofology" appear to be neologisms, which makes me doubt some of the other information about the importance of the term. Chick Bowen 04:16, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• This article should be kept, it talks about a street term used in Portugal by a type of people, wikipedia have lots of articles of this kind so this should be keep saved! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.58.253.82 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 29 November 2005. - And then moved down the page by User:86.132.157.98 - Only previous edits by both users have been in Basofe.
• This term really exists in Portugal, it's a new term "made" by a humour show called "Gato Fedorento", this term appears in one of their sketches, since them it is used by a lot of people, keep this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.113.164.104 (talk • contribs).

don't delete

being a portuguese person, i actually find it quite factual the information displayed on this article, it is all true, these chungas, dreads, mitras, are the most pathetic thing on the face of this earth, their style, the way they talk, lowest class people, its true it might be offencive towards them, but in general anyone in portugal who is not one of these can admit that they are pathetic [edit]

I Agree...

Being a current resident of Portugal, I must say that I completely agree with the above message. The chungas that crawl the streets over here are pathetic creatures, and if any of them get angry and hurt by this article my day will be just a little bit brighter. But anyway, there is a very small chance of that happening since chungas are not educated and therefore cannot speak english, and they definitely do not have acess to the internet as not even their lives are worth as much as a decent computer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.84.22.152 (talk • contribs). and that includes both of the above paragraphs, despite the attempt to make it look like two comments.

• Delete per nom. I noticed it on my RC patrol, but decided it can't be speedied. Thought of listing it later for AFD and I find that it is already listed. --Gurubrahma 07:05, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I do not believe this article should be deleted. This article is genuine. The term "basofe" is analogous to the term "chav" that became slang in the U.K. Just like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav is a valid article this one should be too. At most, this article should be tagged incomplete because there is clearly more formal definitions missing —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.172.0.142 (talk • contribs).

I don't agree this article should be deleted, as it is genuine about a word that's currently used in the Portuguese Slang, to describe this kind of 'new-age' groups. Maybe clean up, but certainly not deleted. --84.90.132.174 22:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
