The result was delete, there was an equal number of keep, transwiki and delete votes, the but the main problem is that non of it is sourced, thus violating WP:CITE and WP:V, not worth the transwiki and AFD isn't a vote. Jaranda wat's sup 01:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Royal Marines slang
Wikipedia is not a dictionary. An unmaintainable list of (military urban) dictionary definitions. Entirely unverified original research. -- IslaySolomon | talk 07:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- keep A similar article for US Navy slang is being transwikied. I think that might be a good compromise, as this list has the potential to be endless, but slang is of interest to many people. Kerowyn Leave a note 09:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Comment By your "Keep" vote are you implying that you also want this article to remain in Wikipedia? I certainly wasn't suggesting that these definitions couldn't exist in Wikitionary. (Although, frankly, I doubt most of them would meet Wikitionary's standards of attestation.) -- IslaySolomon | talk 09:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Transwiki then delete per nom. MER-C 09:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete So much text, so few sources. Where is the proof of notability? MartinDK 09:48, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Transwiki as Wiktionary appendix. --Howrealisreal 17:23, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per my comments on gay slang; also note the existence of Category:Glossaries and Category:Terminology and more specific military related categories. Carlossuarez46 01:01, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Is that this comment, where you accuse that AfD nomination of being inherently homophobic? I have raised legitimate problems with this article, citing some of Wikipedia's core policies, that you have failed to address. You have also invoked Uncle G's "If article X then article Y" fallacy, which I think speaks for itself. Finally, the implication that I am prejudiced against members of the Royal Marines and homosexuals (I also voted to have that article deleted) is utterly preposterous, extremely offensive and completely untrue. -- IslaySolomon | talk 01:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
