[edit] Hack pack

Hack pack (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Blatant neologism. Appears to be used on one internet website, but not spread outside it. Google has no relevant hits in the few dozen hits for "hack pack." The term doesn't appear in the single External Link provided, and the only reference provided has it listed in the comments to a news article. Deproded by anon, without explanation. (Thanks for that, by the way. I do so love having to go through the whole AfD process for something that doesn't have a WP:SNOW ball's chance of surviving. eaolson 19:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - no reliable sources, fails WP:NEO. --Huon 21:49, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - With the bureaucratic, semi-sadistic comment aside, fails WP:NEO, WP:V, and WP:RS. Cool Bluetalk to me 23:24, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. In addition to being a neologism without reliable sources, the article had serious WP:BLP problems as well: without naming any sources, it listed dozens of creative individuals as "hacks" who are "lacking an original visual style and/or thematic variety in the choice of their subjects". If Roger Ebert had made such an accusation, we could report it here; but just because "kwisatzhaderach" on AintItCoolNews thinks that so-and-so is a hack doesn't mean that we can, or should, include that opinion in Wikipedia. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:29, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
