The result of the debate was Delete. (See [en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bejesus Bejesus at Wiktionary]) Redwolf24 07:23, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Delete tagged for speedy ("wiktionary if anything"), but not patent nonsense I think, unfortunately. Nevertheless, it is a slang dicdef, and we don't want those. (It is not currently in Wiktionary, btw.) It is already in Wiktionary, so there is no need to Transwiki it; I was mistaken. -Splash 05:23, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. It actually is a little nonsense, that bit about "scientific discoveries" demanding a "more accurate meaning", obviously a joke page. Side note - I wonder if it should it be BeJesus? --Pagrashtak 05:28, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary then delete. - Che Nuevara, the Democratic Revolutionary 05:33, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep tonight i was sitting around wondering where the word bejesus came from. i looked on wikipedia and it wasn't there! but it was on the internet in other places. so i figured i would educate wikipedia about bejesus.

• Keep I agree. I've added some more to the definition of Bejesus as proof of my devotion. (from 66.235.2.229, creator of Bejesus article) --Pagrashtak 05:37, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Tranwiki as per Che Nuevera. And Pagrashtak, nice work on the article ! As someone with many Martimers as relatives, I can assure you its a word that is used constantly. ie "Where in the bejeezuz (bejesus) did you get that plug ugly jacket, by (boy)?"or "Ya scared the livin' bejeesus outta me!) and other various permutations thereof.

• Don't know what you're all talking about, it is at Wiktionary, see wikt:bejesus. Now delete (and shame on the anon for impersonating votes). --Dmcdevit·t 07:03, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete from wikipedia -- if it belongs somewhere else put it there, if not, don't. gren 07:30, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary. I say keep it. I think this is in fairly wide use, and is informal but not slang. Agentsoo 10:15, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia is not a dictionary. We have a dictionary. You even named it. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. What person/concept/place/thing/event is known as "bejesus"? What person/concept/place/thing/event would an article entitled "bejesus" be about? Uncle G 11:37:00, 2005-07-26 (UTC)
  • We also have Wikipedia:Neologism; we don't hang on to invented words unless there is an encyclopedic article to be written about it. -Splash 16:54, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Wikipedia is not a dictionary. An article on the word is currently in Wiktionary. I can find no person/concept/place/thing/event for an encyclopaedia article entitled "bejesus" to be about. That leaves redirects. I'm not convinced that the obvious redirect, to Jesus, would be suitable. A redirect to interjection would not be not correct as per the Wiktionary entry. This isn't a profanity and it's not quite an oath. A redirect either to euphemism or to minced oath is the best possibility, but I'm not convinced. Weak delete. Uncle G 11:37:00, 2005-07-26 (UTC)
  • I do apologise; I must have misspelt it somehow. -Splash 16:45, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
    • There is no need to apologise. My intention was to draw attention to later developments, that people making the more recent "transwiki" votes appear to have missed. You were not mistaken. What you wrote was correct when you wrote it. Never underestimate the speed of McBot. ☺ Uncle G 17:39:18, 2005-07-26 (UTC)
      • Ah, yes. I guess this is all my fault. I wrote "I don't know what you're talking about" a little jokingly, since I had just transwikied it seconds before. Erm... ha ha...? --Dmcdevit·t 21:28, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki and delete - move along there, nothing to see --Doc (?) 12:53, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

• Transwiki to Wiktionary, then Delete. Ashmodai 10:58, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
