[edit] Halvsie

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

Seems to be WP:Neologism invented by Halvsie.com. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 05:32, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Only usages in print are trivial mentions of the website URL, not even actual uses of the term [1][2]; barely any web GHits except directly related to the website's author: (Find sources: halvsie — news, books, scholar). No evidence is given to show that anyone on the alleged "list of halvsies" actually self-identifies using this term. cab 06:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Not only do many of the people here not refer to themselves as 'halvsies', many could potentially take offense to the term or contest it's accuracy, a BLP issue. Keeper | 76 17:03, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. The article looks like original research.--Gavin Collins 20:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete Possibly notable, but it needs some real references. for one thing, it is not clear to me to what extent this may be considered a derogatory term. DGG (talk) 05:25, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
    • I doubt it's intended to be derogatory as it looks like the inventor of the term made it up to apply to herself. On the other hand, I don't see how it's even possibly notable when it doesn't get used by anyone aside from the person who made it up. cab 06:10, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, there is no such thing as Halvsie, it is definitely something that the website made up. --Kudret abiTalk 06:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
