[edit] Green handshake

Green handshake (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Apparent neologism. No sources at all. At best, a dicdef. Blueboy96 00:40, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - appears to be a non-notable neologism. --Haemo 00:57, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki: change in thought... if it is not a neologism, it most certainly is a definition. - Kneel17 01:02, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete - Actually, this term has been in use for many years in these industries and one's lack of knowledge regarding it does not make it a neologism. It has also been called duking. By these standards, terms such as Meme, in this usage, would also be a neologism. elipo 21:30, 20 July 2007
  • Transwiki to Wiktionary. This is a dictionary definition. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:40, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per lack of sources about the term and not just use it WP:NEO Corpx 02:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Apparently no one else has knowledge of this term, either, at least no one that can verify it. Realkyhick 02:31, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • CommentI think the appropriate template is {Not verified|date=July 2007}, not afd.
  • Delete Per above. Not notable neologism. Never heard it before, sounds to be made up, but even if it isn't, it's still not notable enough and doesn't meet the criteria to be an article. Wikidudeman (talk) 06:21, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki. This word is not a neologism, it has been around for a long time. But it belongs in a dictionary, not here. --Targeman 14:36, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - definitional articles are not appropriate for Wikipedia; this is definitional. --Storm Rider (talk) 18:29, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, not transwiki. Most Ghits are other uses--a band[1], slang for pro-environment ("green") agreements[2] [3], descriptive phrases[4], or random word pairings[5]. Sohelpme 19:10, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, I found similar results in Google News Archive ranging from an end-of-year bonus to a bribe. It's a fairly obvious phrase for transferring money, not so obvious why it would be so clearly limited to a certain usage within the restaurant industry, and no sources indicating it has been. --Dhartung | Talk 19:58, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki per Dennis the Tiger as WP is not a dictionnary.--JForget 16:45, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to wikitionary. A defintion, yes. An encyclopedia subject, no.--JayJasper 21:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
