[edit] Nitpickery

This is a funny one. See discussion here between me and KnowledgeOfSelf, and we agree this really isn't a dicdef worthy of Wiktionary. It's not really a word, or mainstream slang, so it is a possible delete. We're here for some thoughts, and a possible deletion rationale. Thanks. Harro5 06:24, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete "Nitpicker" is a real word/slang there are already plenty of variations of the word, but this one looks to be a real stretch. So again delete per the discussion between myself and Harro5.KnowledgeOfSelf | talk. 06:35, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - the figurative use is covered at the bottom of Nitpicking. I actually have heard the term used several times, and might have even used it. It is funny, but it is not a word (the word would be nitpicking, I'd guess), and I doubt it is popular enough to be noteable slang. It's at best a definition, and i don't see any potential to grow into an encylopedia article that belongs on wp. Redirect and merge with Nitpicking at most. -Meegs 07:00, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
• DO NOT Delete!! The humor is in itself a reason to keep nipickery up there. Possibly linked from "nitpicker" or the like. I would argue that the very questioning of why "nitpickery" should not be defined somewhere is committing an act of nitpickery. And no one, I repeat no one, wants to be accused of that. I rest my case.
• Delete - the previous unsigned post convinced me that it doesn't deserve transwikiing; its being written in dictionary definition form precludes its entry in Wikipedia. B.Wind 04:57, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
• Do not delete-I find that nitpickery is much easier on the ears than nitpicking.
• Redirect to Nitpick. Anyone who would be looking for it would be able to figure it out. Bill shannon 02:15, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
