[edit] Homonazi
Homonazi seems to be a term of abuse which is used by nearly no one. It gets 75 hits on Google: fewer than most mispelled words, and fewer than many other nologisms. Since it is a made-up word, it has no definite meaning. - Germaine Hitler 03:03, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Neologism. -- BD2412 talk 03:16, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
- Delete. And use the vfd2 template next time so it generates a nice title as it looked like this was part of the previous vote before. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 03:36, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

- Delete or speedy delete. Text of article right now is as follows: "A "homonazi" is a term of abuse which is used by nearly no one. It gets 75 hits on Google: fewer than most mispelled words, and fewer than many other nologisms. Since it is a made-up word, it has no definite meaning, but the person who put it in Wikipedia wants you to think it means a militant homosexual who has an irrational hatred of heterosexuals-whatever that may be. The term, said person purports, was first heard in general speech and observed in newspaper correspondence about 2003 or 2004. In actuallity it seems to have been made up by some dittohead, who imagines it to be a parallel with the term of abuse conjured up by his hero, Rush Limbaugh, namely feminazi." Sounds like the author's asking for it to be deleted. --Idont Havaname 04:21, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Vandalized See History. 'Nazi' part of term evidently inpired Hitler to create login name. I did not revert. Was tagged for transwiki. Fabartus 04:27, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Hold your votes folks, this may not belong on Vfd. Fabartus 04:28, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Um...improving the veracity of the article is not vandalization. And whether or not Wiktonary is foolish enough to accept this as a word, has nothing to do with the need to delete it here. Of course this belongs on VfD! And anyone with any sense would recognize I wasn't inspired by homonazi, but by feminazi. I'm not "Bruce Hitler", darling! - Germaine Hitler 04:59, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Delete neologism. Axon 08:52, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- That's an excellent rewrite job. Do not clutter up the Wiktionary with extremely minor neologisms; instead, simply crush underfoot, I mean delete. -- Hoary 09:56, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
- Delete - if the term ever catches on, we can still add it. -- AlexR 10:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Germaine Hitler's latest edit of this article leaves it in a state whereby it only acts as a personal attack on both the anon writer, and...Rush Limbaugh? Anyway, while this article should be deleted, I believe it should be kept until an admin has a look at whether Germaine Hitler has broken any rules regarding vicious personal attacks on Wikipedia. Harro5 11:44, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Eh? The bit that I think you're referring to reads: In actuallity [sic] it [sc. the term] seems to have been made up by some dittohead, who imagines it to be a parallel with the term of abuse conjured up by his hero, Rush Limbaugh, namely feminazi. If that's an attack, it's an attack on the creator of the neologism, not the writer of the article -- unless of course they're identical (which wouldn't surprise me). But I don't think it's an attack. It's a criticism and speculation, and probably shouldn't be there for those reasons. Viciousness level: zero. -- Hoary 12:58, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
- It was very inappropriate for User:Germaine Hitler to replace the text of the article with the text of his VFD vote, regardless of how lame the original article was. That's a behavior we want to strongly condemn before others copy his example. No vote—Wahoofive (talk) 15:41, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Nonsense. There's no reason for an inaccurate article to remain inaccurate while we wait for it to be voted out of existence. - Germaine Histler 01:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, there is. For one thing, how do people know what they're voting to delete if you've replaced the content? On Wikipedia, replacing an article's content with your own opinion is called vandalism.—Wahoofive (talk) 15:51, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- That's a mixture of the wrong and the simplistic, Wahoofive. While replacement of encyclopedic content with mere personal opinion is bad and arguably vandalism, the VfD template says You are welcome to edit this article. And people can know what they're voting to delete by clicking to look at it; if they worry that the content of the article may be unusually volatile, they're always free to specify the version that they're voting to delete; and they should always specify the reason(s) for deleting it. -- Hoary 05:03, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)

- Strong Delete this appears to be little more than a homophobic slang term. Tombride 18:55, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Important note: user has changed name to Germaine Histler. jglc | t | c 20:36, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah. By "request". Why is that an "important note"? Why are you more concerned with my name than you are with the insertion of homophobic nonsense into the Wikipedia? - Germaine Histler 01:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. (As a side note, I've heard "homofascist" used by Phelps (and other nuts) to describe the pro-tolerance agenda. Don't know if that merits its own article, though...) --L33tminion (talk) 01:30, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Prejudicially Expunge. WikiUserLogeeEditors who use LogoNealisms not worthy of Labelled Content Retention! ---- hctivonibaR caasI
- Delete. Neologism. If it ever catches on, Wiktionary can add it. --Carnildo 07:43, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep' I have heard the term in a variety of situations, although only this year. The context in which it was used indicated that it was not an abusive term for homosexuals/gays, but rather those of an exterme ilk. It seems to me that some Wikipedians are proposing deletion of this term because it does not fit in with their politically corrcet viewpoint.

- Delete. Neologism. If found to be in use, then transfer to Wiktionary. Either way, it's not encyclopaedic and doesn't belong here. — Chameleon 12:24, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
