[edit] Axeman

Slangdef, and a rather non-notable one at that. --fvw* 18:01, 2005 Jan 15 (UTC)

• Delete I've never heard of either usage. --InShaneee 20:39, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - If I get a vote? I have never heard the term either. --myork 20:41, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep:A rather poor stub agreed, but there is a Wikipedia request for this page here. [1] A common word in Europe for some-one with a problem, and there are far worse stubs about. Who knows a beautiful swan may arise. Giano 20:45, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• • Then I fear there's been a mistake in compiling the list of enclopaedia topics, or at the least this wasn't what the entry in that list was referring to. What's more, I've never heard the term, and I live in europe last time I checked, so it can't be that common. --fvw* 03:33, 2005 Jan 16 (UTC)
• Delete: On reflection looking at the links provided there probably is an article here, but in its present form, it is probably some-one having a laugh, so unless it is re-written fairly quickly delete Giano 13:51, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

*Keep, I'm sure Giano intends to nurture the duckling into a swan.--Bishonen | Talk 21:10, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• • I aint nurturing nothing, but google results in 88,900 for the term, as defined in the article.Giano 21:44, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • 87,000 of those are messageboard nicks and the rest musicians. I admit this one might have relevance: "'Harry, darling, the axeman's here,' she chortled, shaking her husband violently and quite possibly injuring his genitalia."--Bishonen | Talk 23:11, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, I am thinking the links I have ordered have solved this question. Calcagno 23:13, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Sock puppet.--Bishonen | Talk 14:32, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Move to Wiktionary. RickK 00:24, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable slang (when you filter Google results). Megan1967 02:13, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not noteworthy. --Spangineer ∞ 02:45, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
• "In rare instances it refers to a man using an axe in a perfectly legitimate fashion, but this is unusual." Utter rubbish. This is a very common occurrence in literature. Compare "headsman", for starters. The dictionary definition is the usual definition. Try reading less Google and reading more books. Delete. It's already in Wiktionary.

• Changing my vote to Delete, impressed by "utter rubbish" argument.--Bishonen | Talk 14:32, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• I've removed the silly neologism and turned it into a disambiguation page. -Sean Curtin 07:39, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm not really sure we need a dab page for this, but what the hell, Keep. --fvw* 07:41, 2005 Jan 17 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. And Wiktionary already has an article (although it could use the slang definition). —Simetrical (talk) 22:24, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
