[edit] Gammal

  • Delete. It does mean "old" in Swedish, the usage used in this article would be a neologism in English. If this article is kept it has to be changed, I find the language used in this article highly offensive (the lingua spoken by my family is not some "funny" language). Rje 04:30, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, neologism if true but I didn't know that others than Swedes used "gammal". Maybe I haven't been on IRC enough. In Swedish it's used and no neologism, but still nothing deserving of an encylopedia article (but probably a mention in an article about the word "gammal" in wikitionary). I'm not offended if people call Swedish a funny language, but obviously if this article for some reason is kept that should be rewritten. - Jeltz talk 18:30, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong delete. Thinks the author that Wikipedia is a chat log?? --Neigel von Teighen 23:01, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • A hopelessly badly researched ("or some other funny language") dictionary definition for a borrowing into slang. Since Wiktionary has no need of this, Delete. Uncle G 17:05, 2005 Jan 30 (UTC)
  • Delete Sorry, I just discovered that a "friend" of mine used my computer to add this as a joke. Yes it's a term really used in IRC but I totally agree this doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Please feel free to delete it asap.
    • IPs match. Speedied admitted joke article by "author" request. — Gwalla | Talk 23:48, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
