[edit] Dead soldier
Neologism, Wikipedia is not a slang dictionary. Accurizer 18:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete unsourced neologism that seems not to be used by anyone per the article. Gwernol 18:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

- Comment As mentioned in the Wounded Soldier afd I have heard and used this term many times. Obviously it is a neologism, but there does appear to be some source material for it which I found here [1] which appears to be from a book on similar subjects. Also there is a good discussion about it here [2]. I'm a noob here so I'm not sure what qualifies as a keeper as far as neologisms go but thought this was relevant information for this discussion —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DrunkenSmurf (talk • contribs).
- Weak delete Contrary to the article, the term appears to be "Hobo" slang from the early 20th century (google for "dead soldier" and "slang." Whether or not that's notable, I don't know for sure (hence weak delete). As the article stands right now, I can't see it standing on its own merits. -- Chet nc (talk)(contrib) 19:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as dicdef. Maybe even speedy delete. If someone wants to write a proper article, they can, but there is no point keeping this one. --Tango 23:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete not notable slang. I thought it was about a soldier who went to war and fought. --Starionwolf 04:24, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
