no reliable sources, neologism, etc Will (We're flying the flag all over the world) 02:52, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Neologism. CIreland 03:00, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as neologism. Wikipedia is not urban dictionary. DarkAudit 03:14, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Culturally significant. The Simpsons episode is from 1993, so this is hardly a neologism. Cheers! bd2412 T 05:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete 1993 is not ancient Rome: a slang term used since then and barely ever since except in one episode of an American television program is not notable. --Charlene 06:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Culturally significant, well sourced -Drdisque 06:41, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • rename per Uncle G -Drdisque 18:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep per said above. - GoldengloveContribs ·Talk 11:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - completely culturally INsignificant. Mentioned in one episode of the Simpsons - big deal. - fchd 12:33, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Long-established concept, and hence not a neologism. Particularly relevant to those people who can build an icosahedron with thread and drinking straws. My father doesn't drink beer, but he has been known to build a pyramid out of empty soft drink cans. --Eastmain 13:04, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Keep and rename, per Uncle G's comments. --Eastmain 15:33, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Yes, the title is a neologism. But fixing that doesn't require an administrator to hit a delete button. That just involves ordinary editors using ordinary editing tools, in this case the rename button to rename the article to beer can pyramid, the more common name for this thing, and the name under which one will find things such as the Syracuse Herald-American article from 1976-06-27 discussing people's attempts to break records for the tallest beer can pyramid. I encourage DarkAudit, CIreland, Charlene.fic, and Richard Rundle to take more than just the article's title into consideration. Uncle G 13:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Cites sources. Noteable. Also very prominent in society. Billy227, Review my account!! talk contribs sndbx usbx 18:44, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment - The sources are the Urban Dictionary and the reference to the Simpsons episode. Needs a lot more for me to change my mind. Still can't see where the significance of this that makes it worthy of an article is. - fchd 19:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Uncle G's proposed Rename is fine by me as well. References for that will be easy to find (any activity that qualifies for a Guiness record-holder is inherently notable). bd2412 T 02:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename Per Uncle G.
  • Keep. Uncle G has changed my opinion on things once again. RFerreira 05:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename per Uncle G, although remove the UrbanDictionary link. Ford MF 07:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
