[edit] Dawg

• Delete: It's slang, and slang doesn't belong on Wikipedia.
  • Was nominated by someone without an account, so their vote doesn't count. --Improv 17:09, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Slang dicdef. --Improv 17:06, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Slang, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Metro3947
• Delete: Slang dictdef, and it should be referring to the University of Georgia football team, anyway. Geogre 19:49, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Maybe merge with a page on urban slang, but delete this; it does not deserve its own page... and it is a dictdef. --Idont Havaname 02:01, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete DCEdwards1966 03:01, Nov 20, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. --*drew 07:33, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Extremely delete. Andre (talk) 23:51, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)
• Transwiki and delete redirect to dog. Very short merge may be appropriate. We should at least mention "dawg" on dog. anthony 警告 02:18, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Abstain Simply being slang is not enough reason to delete. Homie and Dude, along with the articles under Category:Slang have been kept. — J3ff 04:57, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • True, but the thing is this isn't really slang so much as an alternate spelling/pronounciation of the same word. In this sense I suppose a redirect would be appropriate, but I don't think we should have a full article on it. Of course we have an article on nucular, but I think that one should be transwikied, merged (whatever is encyclopedic which is little), and redirected as well. In fact, I'm going to mention this on Talk:Nucular right now. anthony 警告 13:18, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• I've added some new information to the article. Before the additions my opinion would have been a definate delete, and even with my additions my opinion wavers between a very weak keep to a very weak delete. [[User:GK|gK ¿?]] 15:39, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Keep or redirect. --Dittaeva 20:46, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
