[edit] Janusz

The introduction states, "One could ask, what is "Janusz". Well, this all started in the year 2005 between January and Febraury, and was thought up by the grade 8 students (gifted program of Mr. Prugo) of St. Jerome, located on Paisley Road in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada." I state, "Vanity neologistic toilet humor, of no interest whatsoever to anybody." —Korath (Talk) 03:27, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable, trivial essay, un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 05:35, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Well, this all started in the year 2005 between January and Febraury. -- Too new and not notable. Zzyzx11 05:40, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• I'm trying to remember the name of the month between January and February, but it's not coming to me. Anyway, 'delete this as someone's personal slang. I've made up dozens of new terms, but you don't see me writing articles about them (though it has been my goal to introduce the word "hirsh" to the English language). -R. fiend 06:18, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Yet another group of schoolchildren so eager to immortalize their neologism by putting it in the dictionary ... that they add it to the encyclopaedia instead. Delete. I point out moreover that the final paragraph makes the page a copyright problem, as the page's author is not licencing the copyright on what xe wrote according to the GFDL.

• Keep. If slang is not allowed in Wikipedia then why is there a definition for "Yo" as in "Yo, what's up?". In the English language, Janusz is an interjection. It is linguistically interchangeable with other words. If you have a problem with this, then complain about "Yo" as well, otherwise take this Janusz somewhere else. 24.100.250.167 08:30, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• slang is allowed. Junk someone just made up isn't. -- John Fader 20:41, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, the problem is not that it's an interjection, the problem is that this word appears to have no general currency. Kappa 08:49, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. This "article" is turning into a chat page. should have been speedy deleted. RickK 00:04, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The subject of the article falls below the threshold for notability, and the article itself contains no encyclopedic facts. -- John Fader 00:10, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)'
• Keep'.It is a very informative article on the life of schoolchildren. Psychologists could use this in their research.It is a good, informative, and legitimate article. Otherwise, the article on "Yo" would be removed as well. (comment added by User:199.43.172.254)
• Keep. This is just as justified as anything else on wikipedia. Slang is allowed, so should be Janusz. Please take this Janusz somewhere else. (comment added by User:199.43.172.254, same as vote above)
