[edit] Post-pub

I don't believe this term is in terribly widespread use, nor how it could grow beyond a dictionary-style definition. Joyous | Talk 11:09, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, neologism from Grand Theft Auto --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 12:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete shoot all neologisms in face. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 15:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep - I think it is in reasonably common usage, given that (until recently) most pubs in the UK closed at 11pm, and recreational drunkards needed something to do as an alternative to nightclubbing. However, the article could still do with some more info and references to prove it can be more than a dicdef. Possibly it could be merged into public house instead, although I'm not sure that it belongs there. — sjorford (talk) 16:29, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• If it isn't a neologism, it's a dicdef. Either way, Delete. RGTraynor 17:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:WINAD. I thought this was about post-puberty (Postpubertät in German), but no, of course it's about booze. Sandstein 19:32, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep I don't see to much of a grandiose article comming out of this. However their is a lot of document cultural event that do happen after getting drunk at a pub. With proper sourcing and good critical thinking I actually do think that this could become a good article. ie.: Drinking and driving, sex, pizza, Alcohol poisoning, Police, accidents, statistics, pregnancy reports, date rape, etc... I'm pretty sure there have been much articles in the news about the stupid things that happen after the pub. Ie.: News facts, myths, etc. Also the term post-pub should be properly defined and it's origins stated. It is a term that I am unfamiliar with. b.t.w.: Oh! And I though it meant postpubescent, the opposite of prepubescent! lol. --CyclePat 22:37, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom, or transwiki to Wiktionary. -- P199 22:54, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. --Khoikhoi 01:46, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete with a cap in its ass; dicdef or neologism at best. --moof 05:20, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Not to start a nationalistic war or anything, but I've yet to see any other variations on this based on national differences in the naming conventions for bars/pubs. i.e. Post-bar, Post-club, Post-disco, etc. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 07:46, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Looks like im quite out numbered here, but my orignal idea for this artical was that it is a word now used in British Popular Culture, I ref magazines such as Loaded, GQ etc as my sources, it is also a word commonly used by students across the UK, however i will natually accept your decisions to delete this artical.
