Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Egg (person)

This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS, so keep. Although this is plainly an infested AfD, there are only three editors who would delete it. I'd have to be utterly brutal to discount so many of the keeps as to find that a consensus (and I recognise on sight at least 3 of the usernames). -Splash 23:01, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Egg (person)

Delete Unencyclopedic and neologistic. Obscure term, and not approporiate. Nobody uses this term, and the author is wasting server space with some perverse inside joke. And sorry, the argument that "I hear this on campus all the time" doesn't fly. It's not a mainstream term, 99% don't know what it means. Also there is already a page devoted to listing ethnic slurs, so why make a whole page? Momenchance 10:37, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, I've heard this term used in Canada by immigrant Asians. --207.61.57.35 19:19, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - I've heard this used in Ontario, Canada. Wikiwikifast 01:33, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete (put it in Wikitionary if needed). It's not a phenomenon, it's a word that describes a phenomenon — and that phenomenon is dealt with elsewhere in Wikipedia. Wikipedia isn't a dictionary (not even a slang dictionary). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:47, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
