[edit] Hella (slang)

Hella (disambiguation) was nominated for deletion on 2005-08-04. The result of the discussion was "keep and rename to Hella (slang)". For the prior discussion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hella (disambiguation).

This dicdef is already on Wiktionary. I see little hope for expansion beyond a dictionary entry. There was a vfd last month [1], but the result was rename, and there does not appear to have been much discussion about whether this needs an article. Friday (talk) 19:32, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete DicDef, even if you could make it encyclopedic it would be pointless - --Outlander 20:09, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, and replace the line on Hella (disambiguation) with a {{wiktionarypar|hella}}. Wikipedia is not Wiktionary. —Cryptic (talk) 20:15, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - dictionary definition, not encyclopaedic. Worldtraveller 21:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose - It's too soon to revisit the issue after the previous vote (rename, not delete), and the content of the article (discussion of references to usage in songs, etc) rises above straight dicdef and perhaps above the threshold for being encyclopedic. -- Curps 00:14, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Move to wictionary. Delete Since the only way to get to this article is through the disambiguation page (save the unlikely typing in of Hella (slang)). I agree with Worldtraveller, just put a wictionary link on the disamb page. --Darkfred ^{Talk to me} 11:39, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Note that wiktionary already have an entry for hella, so moving this article to there is not an option. Worldtraveller 13:15, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Ok then, Delete it and add the wictionary page to the disamb, I am changing my vote. Either way we don't lose any info, if someone wants to make sure that the wictionary entry includes this definition of hella. --Darkfred ^{Talk to me} 15:51, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment wasn't there an episode of South Park that had Eric Cartman saying hella a vast amount of times, as his new catchphrase? Alf ^melmac 20:23, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • If you edit Wiktionary:hella and scroll down to the commented out section, your question will be answered. Please note the comment in the article history relating to this and improve Wiktionary if you are able to. Uncle G 00:31, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Thanks Uncle G, if I knew more I could add, I would, I can't even remember which series it was in, let alone the episode title, but I'm no great SP fan. Not much more than a mention in the South Park lexicon (under something stupid or unfortunate) either. Alf ^melmac 20:30, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
