[edit] Desi uncle syndrome

This afd nomination was incomplete. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 04:42, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete No hits on Google. The Professor Ali isn't identified. I don't understand the article, it defines "Desi" (unnecessarily since it could have linked Desi) and sort of defines uncle, but doesn't define what a "desi uncle" or a "desi uncle syndrome" is supposed to be. It also throws in ABCD (American Born Confused Desi), FOB (Fresh off the boat), and the neologism ABCA (American Born Confused Arab - two hits on Google) without spelling them out or relating them to the subject.

  • Delete per Schizombie. It doesn't explain the concept, which probably doesn't exist in common parlance anyway. The author Shebazishkhan also has no other contributions to Wikipedia, so this is likely a failed vanity and protologism attempt. --Kinu t/c 07:10, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:NOR. What a great neologism, though! I know many people with Desi Uncle Syndrome. -- Samir ∙ TC 09:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
