WP:NEO WP:NOT WP:V Zero hits in Google. Prod removed without comment. Rory096 19:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• do not remove this article, as it is a fast-spreading slang word in many sects of nyc, especially the business districts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acohen883 (talk • contribs)

Do not delete. This is indeed a real slang in NYC. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.185.36.216 (talk • contribs) .

• Delete per WP:WINAD and per nom. Sandstein 20:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete NO Google hits at all, who cares if it is slang in NYC, it's not notable. When is becomes a part of pop culture, perhaps then it would merit an entry. Wildthing61476 20:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Of course it is noteworthy that it is a slang in NYC. There are plently of things on Wikipedia that most people in the world have not heard of, yet these things remain on Wikipedia. Wikipedia also serves to spread the word about many items and concepts, and that is also what it is being used for in this case. I see no justification for deletion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.185.36.216 (talk • contribs) .

• Per WP:NOT, this is not a location to "spread the word" about a so-called "fast-spreading slang word" that apparently no one has heard of. Wildthing61476 21:50, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as proposal. michaelCurtis ^talk+ _{contributions} 22:13, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia DOES NOT serve to spread the word about many items and concepts. It exists to document things that are already notable and verifiable. This is neither. Fan1967 22:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Gushtunye is just as worhty of an entry on Wikipedia as anything else mostly unknown is. It is wrong to remove an entry simply because most people have yet to hear about it. I'm sure most people in this world are not familiar with the Huffman compression algorithm, but an entry exists because it is real. The same goes for a slang word which undoubtedly does indeed exist in the business district in NYC. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.185.36.216 (talk • contribs) .

• Comment Anything else "mostly unknown", and unverifiable, does not belong on Wikipedia either. The Huffman compression algorith returns over 50,000 google hits. Gushtunye returns zero. Fan1967 00:24, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
