[edit] Fratch

Neologism, article states, "The term can be categorized as a neologism and its use is mostly confined to the mid-atlantic region of the United States," but this is unverifiable. Deprodded. Accurizer 18:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• I am working on finding verifiable uses of the term outside of conversation. Also, perhaps instead of a permanent deletion, transfer the article to Wiktionary? Claymoney 18:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Instead of looking for "uses of the term", look for sources that readers can use to verify what the article says about fratches. Looking for uses of a word is what one does at Wiktionary, to demonstrate that a word satisfies the Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. Here, we want references, not quotations. Uncle G 19:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
