[edit] Izziehugger

Article created by LevelCheck, based on an invented term authored by a usenet troll named Matt Giwer to describe people who like Israel. Google test returns about 6 hits, most likely related to message board postings by Giwer himself. [1] --Viriditas | Talk 06:59, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Another disruptive article creation. Completely and obviously non-notable. Jayjg ^(talk) 07:10, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• I've dealt with Matt Giwer before on Usenet. He's an anti-Semitic Holocaust-denier, and apparently a prolific enough one to rate his own page on the Nizkor Project. [2] Giwer himself might be notable enough to rate an article (he doesn't have one currently) but his nasty little neologisms aren't. Anyway, delete. Firebug
  • In that case I vote to Merge into an article on Matt Giwer anyone who makes it to nizkor projects list of kooks is notable. Klonimus 07:39, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete orig research. ←Humus sapiens←Talk 07:47, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This should really be a speedy delete. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 08:10, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Neologism. -- 8^D ^gab 13:35, 2005 Apr 26 (UTC)
• Delete — neither a particularly creative nor a historically-interesting expression. — RJH 15:36, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Neologism, original research, disruptive. --MPerel ^{( talk | contrib)} 15:39, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per RJHall. Samaritan 17:35, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Should've been a speedy delete. No reasonable Wikipedian would have created this. Postdlf 20:51, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Please note that this page is being used as evidence in Wikipedia:Requests for Arbitration's case on LevelCheck, which I proposed today--please don't delete until that case is finished, if it is accepted by the Arbcom. Meelar (talk) 21:08, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I would rather use the diffs as evidence: they contain more details (such as author, date, etc) and are more reliable because they do not depend on subsequent edits. ←Humus sapiens←Talk 08:02, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. As someone who's dealt with Matt Giwer (or a good impostor) on the POV-RAY newsgroups, I can confirm that he uses the word. I can also confirm that he's just about the only person who does. The term isn't significant enough for Wikipedia, and I doubt Wiktionary would want it. --Carnildo 21:44, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, as above. Unless it qualifies as a speedy, in which case do that! Master Thief Garrett 01:16, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not every epithet is encyclopedic. And, someone wishing to CREATE a new epithet could simply salt the web with a few instances, then create a Wikipedia article like this.A2Kafir 16:03, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Neologism whose usage is negligible. Delete. -- Hoary 02:56, 2005 May 10 (UTC)
