neologism - only sources UD Will (talk) 07:17, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:NEO - lack of "reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term—not books and papers that use the term" Corpx 16:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep grudgingly - this is definitely not a neologism, however this article does have absolutely no sources, which could be rectified, but will require someone going to a bookshop or library.Stevebritgimp 16:37, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete/Transwiki — while I agree with those above who say this is not a neologism, it seems unlikely that enough research has been done into the accent/dialect to be able to create a fully sourced article with content beyond that suitable for Wiktionary. --Safalra 17:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
  • weak keep not much to go on, but I'll check this in the library on Monday. I'm only 25 miles from Plymouth so they may have something. Totnesmartin 18:31, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Additional: No luck at my small-town library, somebody would have to check in Plymouth itself. Totnesmartin 18:45, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • delete The article has been transwikied. I've tagged it in case its now worthy of speedy delete. Moonriddengirl 12:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I've denied the request for speedy deletion. I'd rather see the article kept if it can be sourced properly which, apparently, seems to be a bit of a challenge. On the other hand, some of the content (in particular concerning the evolution of the term) is clearly inappropriate for Wiktionary but would in fact be very much suitable for Wikipedia.

  • Keep - I found a basic book reference to the meaning from Cyril Tawney, who is/was a credible authority. Gordonofcartoon 22:15, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • strong keep. Now referenced and is an accurate article. MurphiaMan 06:51, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
