The result of the debate was Merge and redirect to Lost (TV series), this seems to be a niche term not really appropriate for Internet slang. Deathphoenix 16:56, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

  • The addition has been removed. I don't contest the removal of the text (that is to say, I don't care), and the history is still in the original redirect. --Deathphoenix 19:53, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] OMGWTFPOLARBEAR

Somewhat notable neologism. I wasn't quite sure whether to speedy it, so I put it here. Bobby1011 17:38, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

  • CommentGoogling it turns up 13,500 pages. Is that not notable enough? --Echo was a groupie 17:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
    • How'd you get 13k? I only see 336.[1] -- Krash (Talk) 21:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Maybe I'm insane. I swear, there were 13,500 earlier when I did the search. I swear. Or I think there were.. I don't know how it could have gone down so much so quickly. Maybe I've finally gone mad.

But they were there...! I know it!--Echo was a groupie 03:08, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

  • OMGWTFBBQ!!! Delete as neologistic. At worst, redirect to Internet slang. -- Krash (Talk) 21:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I love Lost and lurk a bunch of boards... but this is a niche neologism with no representation outside of Lost Board posters. Merge a definintion to Internet slang if anyone cares to, but historical context on a separate page isn't really necessary.--Isotope23 21:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
