[edit] Bawbag

Nonsense. WP does not need one page for every existing insult. About 17200 hits in Google [1] -- ReyBrujo 15:37, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Dictdef (if that). Flapdragon 16:54, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to the Wictionary, surely? 17200 Google hits is quite good, really (it's not only a small group of people using it). --Oppolo 17:33, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
    • This article is rubbish as a dictionary article. Wiktionary can do better than this from a standing start. See Wiktionary:bawbag. Uncle G 19:27, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment it is of course a Scottish word for scrotum (used as an insult), just on case anyone doesn't realise. Whether that's the kind of term they have in Wiktionary I don't know, though somehow doubt it. Flapdragon 17:43, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Why do you doubt that Wiktionary will take Scottish words? If a word is well attested as being a word, Wiktionary will take it, insult, Scottish, or otherwise. Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion are neutral with respect to the meanings of words. Uncle G 19:27, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • This is just a synonym for scrotum. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Synonyms don't warrant separate articles in Wikipedia as they do in Wiktionary. At the very most, this would be a redirect. Delete. Uncle G 19:27, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
