Employe (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Neologism, violation of WP:NEO. Possible hoax as there is no verification available to validate claims. Stoic atarian 01:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete The article doesn't violate WP:NEO, as it's describing a specific event rather than defining the word "employe". Having said that, it appears to fail WP:N, as it doesn't seem to be a notable event. It might be best to move some on the info into the General Motors article. -Panser Born- (talk) 01:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Panser. --Lmblackjack21 01:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki and merge to wikt:employe. This is not a neologism, but an actual albeit uncommon spelling of the word "employee". However, the article is solely about this spelling of the word, not the concept behind the word. Thus, it belongs in the dictionary rather than the encyclopedia. --Metropolitan90 02:51, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki and merge Not a neologism but belongs on Wiktionary and not Wikipedia. DanielT5 03:39, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, only if it can be sourced. That corporations and courts are concerned with and become involved in such minutiae is notable, if only as a sign of the coming apocalypse. --killing sparrows 05:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as a hoax. Although there is a wiktionary article there are no hits on the askoxford site. The entire body of the article consists of the opening, which is an unsourced absurd idea copied from one of the Dilbert strips, and an odd section on the use of one word by one court. The article smells of a hoax particularly given that it was created by two single purpose accounts. If not deleted the only option I can see is to redirect to Employment as a possible misspelling - Peripitus (Talk) 11:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Non-notable anyways. BlackBear 13:20, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki Wikipedia is not a dictionary, this entry belongs to a dictionary. WooyiTalk, Editor review 17:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Peripitus has hit the nail on the head. This article is a hoax. The word "employe" can be found in texts dating at least as as far back as 1859, long before General Motors even existed. It's a perfectly normal, albeit rarely used nowadays, alternative spelling of "employee". Just redirect this to employment, as the employee spelling already does. Uncle G 20:54, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Transwiki - Only if this article can have better sources it should be transwiki--Joebengo 06:16, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
