[edit] Blacktress

Blacktress (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Neologism of no particular notability. [1] Been prodded twice before, still no sources to establish notability. The only source given is a mirror of one of the old versions of the article. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 23:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete I think it is a neo. Can't find any real sources which would validate notability. scope_creep (talk) 23:37, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete What an awful idea for a coined word, and one that makes me lose respect for eBay. A search of newspaperarchive confirms that this term was NEVER used in the national press to refer to Negro, Black or African-American actresses. Author may have confused this with "black tressed" which is a hairstyling term. Maybe we can call Ellen DeGeneres a "thesbian". Mandsford (talk) 13:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Even if it is an offensive term, that is not the reason I would want it deleted. For one, the link is an eBay link. Ebay sells anything. Trust me. There is nothing special there.Metal Head (talk) 14:30, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete. It's a neologism, agree with all above and per nom. Doc Strange (talk) 16:11, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NEO -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 06:59, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete not as a neologism, but an anachronism. I'm old enough to remember the term, briefly used in the early 1970's, as the name of a magazine. Bearian'sBooties (talk) 14:41, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
