[edit] Discing

Non notable (does it exist?). The word "discing" has many meanings, mainly in farming and with records, but this one seems to be unknown. Not verifiable, so delete... Fram 12:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Dictionary.com has never heard of this definition, so it's a neologism at best. Ace of Sevens 14:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete neologism. Rklawton 15:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. It certainly exists, though I can only vouch for its popularity in my own state of Western Australia. Perhaps it should be renamed, or merged with water sports? Battle Ape 04:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless verified as not a neologism. Can Battle Ape supply a WP:RS? If verified as not a neologism, move to Discing (water sport) and create a disambiguation page. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:06, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
That's the problem. I've searched and there are no Internet sites referencing it at all. But then, there are very few sites about waterskiing either. I KNOW it exists; I've gone discing, I've seen other people disc, and I've provided a photo. There just aren't any mainstream sources. 202.72.148.102 05:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
