[edit] Dork (word)

del nothing beyond dicdef and etymology. mikka (t) 21:51, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep. Few things: first it should be under dork, since this is actually a serious article on the word and not a vandalism. Also, keep since boffin, geek and nerd all have their own entries. Dork isn't as well defined though, so maybe it could be merged with perjoratives or some similar article.--Esprit15d 22:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
  • boffin/geek/nerd are stereotypes and subcultures, while dorks are just dorks. mikka (t) 23:32, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

• Maybe move to Wiktionary? ric 23:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep (and move to Dork). I think there is somewhat of a dork stereotype as distinct from the others mentioned, although it is much less well-defined. This article could be expanded into a reasonable entry.--ragesoss 02:54, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
