[edit] Dick (insult)

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

Nominating this page for deletion because it has no real significance, and its history of edits show that it is only being vandalized and there is no actual progression of content in the page. It does not cite any sources, and does not belong in an encyclopedia. <3 bunny 05:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Wikipedia is not a slang dictionary. Doczilla (talk) 09:15, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect and do not delete link. I don't know how Wiktionary works, but I'm assuming there's a way to click upon a blue link and one is taken to a dictionary. Perhaps we don't need an article (although there's precedent for similar articles) but we do need something showing this particular use of a word. Forgetting, for a moment, that this is an obscenity, there is definitely a need for a link to show up on the disambiguation page for (Dick), since that has meanings both insulting and non-insulting. Even as a vulgar word, it's ambiguous, referring to a body part or to a rude person. The latter meaning is referred to in this link from WP:CIVIL Mandsford (talk) 13:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Comment: I think an alternative is to give a brief description on the disambig page, and remove the link. I don't think it makes sense to make cross-encyclopedic references. <3 bunny 05:02, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per Doczilla. JuJube (talk) 14:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

• Comment I'll concede that as an article, it's a perfect target for vandalism... forseeably, a person's photograph can be uploaded to one of these type pages, fulfilling the prophecy "If you look in the dictionary under 'dick', there's a picture of you!"
