[edit] Chump

Neologism, possible hoax. None of the Google results have anything to do with the topic. King of Hearts | (talk) 04:02, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. While being a "chump" is a common expression, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, Urban or otherwise. The definition and etymology provided are suspect at best ("chumpishness" doesn't seem like a cromulent word). Not worth a Transwiki. --Kinu 04:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unencyclopedic. EdGl 04:32, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete It's hardly a neologism (see A Chump At Oxford, the 1940 Laurel & Hardy film). However it does seem to be a dictdef so delete per Kinu. --kingboyk 06:53, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. While it is indeed an actual word, the information give is quite inaccurate. It could easily be rewritten. Royboycrashfan 09:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: It is neither a neologism or a hoax being familiar to speakers of British English - although this is not made clear. However, I am not at all sure about the given definition. If it belongs anywhere, it is in wikidicitonry. 13:55, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary Prodego talk 14:35, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Only because its just a definition. If it was expanded to encyclopedia-type content, I'll change to keep. This is why Wictionary was invented - • | Đܧ§§Ť | • T | C 21:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
