[edit] Prize Marlin
Prod removed by author (gee, surprise!). Non-notable sexual term, and does not belong on Wikipedia, perhaps Urban Dictionary Wildthing61476 16:47, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Notability doesn't enter into it. The article cites no sources, and I'm unable to find any sources on the subject of the purported act that the article describes. This is original research, the promulgation of a new concept here in Wikipedia that has not been documented outside of Wikipedia beforehand. Delete. Uncle G 17:00, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per above. Only 694 or so Ghits, and amazingly I could find nothing that matches the above phrase, and for once WP wasn't mirrored. Not even a good try at a neologism. Tychocat 18:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, speedy if possible. -- nae'blis (talk) 19:06, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NEO. Note that neologisms are not a CSD. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 19:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I think the more common term is "prized marlin". Googling this gets several hits, including on urbandictionary and encyclopediadramatica. User:bige
- Urban Dictionary, which explicitly encourages people to submit things that they have just made up, is not a reliable source. Uncle G 18:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
