[edit] C-Town (nickname)

C-Town (nickname) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This article only provides a definition of the term and a history of its usage, and (1) provides no evidence for its notability and (2) can almost certainly not be expanded to provide any information beyond the current definition. Article is also unsourced, and probably unsourcable for the main part. Previously prodded; prod removed by an anonymous editor with no comment as to reason. JulesH 11:31, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete It is impossible to verify this article from reliable sources. A quick google search shows up no reliable hits for this article as well. --Siva1979Talk to me 12:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and above. Zouavman Le Zouave 12:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete unsourced and unverifiable. Bigdaddy1981 17:22, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete If it's at all possible, however, merge to Cleveland, Ohio. There's a section in the infobox for nicknames. Otherwise, yeah delete. -WarthogDemon 22:20, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Please, don't merge this into Cleveland. What an unimaginative nickname for the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Mistake by the Lake. Cleveland Rocks-- and this article doesn't. From "C-Town (nickname)": "Its morphology is derived by taking the first letter from Cleveland, C, and adding to it the word 'town'." Fascinating. Mandsford 22:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - no reason to merge a non-notable nickname to a city's article. I'm sure there are plenty of non-notable nicknames people have for places - they surely all shouldn't be included. Bigdaddy1981 21:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
