[edit] Mill(insult)

Mill(insult) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

PROD removed by originator. This article is unsourced, the subject is a neologism, it is not notable (the article itself says it is little known), and Wikipedia is not a dictionary or guide to slang. JohnCD (talk) 09:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, WP:NEO, and obviously a self-admitted little-known slang term has serious notability issues. Lankiveil (talk) 10:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Delete As above. If it is little known then it simply isn't notable. Alberon (talk) 10:52, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. Magioladitis (talk) 11:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I can verify that this slang term is increasing in popularity, and has appeared in multiple articles related to bullying im the Midlands region of England.

  • Strong Delete per nom. (I was going to prod the article, but found that the author had removed the AfD template, which I restored.) —Travistalk 14:34, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete under WP:NEO. Unfortunately, the note from user:Honourableone is not a reliable source. note also we are not a dictionary. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:21, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No reliable sources provided. (No prejudice towards Honourableone, it's just that his observations are not documented.) --Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 02:53, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep One source provided. Honourableone (talk) 15:29, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
    • A school newsletter. That's it, where the term "Mill Centre" turned up twice in the document. It makes no allusion to the definition, just that it is used someplace, which is nowhere near enough to get it into Wikipedia - and in this context, this tells me that you created what amounts to an attack page. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 04:27, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete no notable neologism. Nuttah (talk) 18:58, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - I am not so sure about Mill Centre, which appears to be largely identical. If the use of Mill as an abbreviation for Mentally Ill can indeed be attested, the right place is in a dictionary not an encyuclopaedia. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:55, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
