[edit] Jack shit

Dictionary definition plus nonsensical original ideas. WP:WINAD and WP:NOR. Erik the Rude 00:48, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. I was new page patrolling and about to do the same. SorryGuy 00:50, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Dictionary definition. Sarahgal 00:57, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:NOT a dictionary:
A usage guide or slang and idiom guide. Wikipedia is not in the business of saying how words, idioms, etc. should be used. We aren't teaching people how to talk like a Cockney chimney-sweep. However, it may be important in the context of an encyclopedia article to describe just how a word is used to distinguish among similar, easily confused ideas, as in nation or freedom. In some special cases an article about an essential piece of slang may be appropriate. --Jersey Devil 01:00, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as original research about a dicdef. Kevin 01:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Slang dic def, POV. Ande B 01:50, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. It was just created today, of course it's bad. Also consider a transwiki to Wiktionary. Armedblowfish 02:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC) changed vote to merge and redirect (see below). Armedblowfish 17:19, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, slang. --Terence Ong 03:59, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or transwiki if others agree. Thetruthbelow Image:Wikipedia minilogo.gif(talk) 04:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. —Khoikhoi 04:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Move This is actually a pretty good article on a definition. Move to wikitionary. jbolden1517Talk 04:36, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete- policy is very clear. Thanks, Jersey Devil. Reyk YO! 05:05, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and no transwiki. This crap isn't worthy of Wiktionary, IMHO. Maybe for urbandic. M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 05:31, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete – if Wiktionary want it they can have it, but I doubt they do – Gurch 07:53, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki, if keep isn't on the cards. A well known phrase. -- 9cds(talk) 14:02, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and no transwiki, if wiktionary users want this article they're better off creating a new one. Captainj 20:30, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This term should mabye redirect to a page on street slang, but it is not a notable enough term. No citations, OR interpretation of unoffical terms. HighInBC 16:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • On the contrary, there are two external links, one of which is a reliable source (though they definitely don't cover everything in the article). However, I change my vote to merge and redirect to List of profanities. Armedblowfish 17:19, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
