[edit] Friend zone

Another pop psychology crank theory, consisting of a dictionary definition plus original research, caught between the Scylla of WP:WINAD and the Charybdis of WP:NOR. What is verifiable is a dictionary definition, and attempts to expand venture into original research. Yes, I've seen it on TV too, but I don't think the advertising tagline "As seen on TV!" is a criterion for inclusion. Brian G. Crawford 21:33, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and dial back to this edit, when it was at least an article about the popular usage of the term, and not dating advice. Most of the cruft was added just in the last two weeks by two editors. --Dhartung | Talk 22:08, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• This belongs in the Delete Zone, per nominator. Fluit 22:12, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Not if you really got to know it. You're just going on a snap judgement! --Dhartung | Talk 03:41, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

The first line says that it is mentioned in "many texts". I'd like to see some evidence of that. Kevin 04:28, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

• Week Keep per Dhartung. ---J.S (t|c) 22:39, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and revert it or modify it so that it fits the criterias of wikipedia. The topic is notable enough. Beltz 22:54, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Dhartung. Aguerriero (ţ) (ć) (ë) 23:12, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and change per Dhartung. Noted term, used in newspapers [1] [2], on TV as the article noted, easily meets basic standards. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 00:08, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and revert to previous version, per Dhartung. Add appropriate citations for the term. -- backburner001 02:00, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep/revert per Dhartung, hilarious as the "advice" is. Tijuana Brass^¡Épa!-E@ 06:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Its a well known term in popular culture (i.e. friends and scrubs)--Greasysteve13 06:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
