[edit] Dude in Distress

Dude in Distress (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) –

Wikipedia is WP:NOT for neologisms. Finds a hit on Google Scholar and a few on Google Books, but only mentioned in passing. Article is headed toward WP:LISTcruft. shoy 01:19, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: Probably qualifies for speedy. Its not encyclopedic. - Rjd0060 02:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - The article might not be encyclopedic, nor the title; but the subject certainly is. Much critical ink has been spilled on this topic: just ask a student of queer or women's studies. Ichormosquito 03:34, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Find some reliable sources that use the phrase and I'll withdraw my nom. A quick Google sweep didn't turn up anything for me. shoy 12:47, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

• If there's anything to merge into Damsel in distress, it might be worth doing, else just delete, possibly redirect as mentioned. humblefool® 07:13, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
