[edit] Obvi

I prodded this as a slang dicdef (and left a nice message on the creator's talk page about the policy on dictionary definitions and the deletion process). The creator removed the prod tag replacing the word "slang" in the definition with "widely accepted". However, even if this is a "widely accepted" term, it's still a dictionary definition and not appropriate for Wikipedia under WP:WINAD. Delete NickelShoe (Talk) 16:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I would hardly call this a widely accepted term having never heard anyone use it. It really has no place in this encyclopedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.14.108.108 (talk • contribs) .
  • Transwiki obvi. Kotepho 18:32, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Obvi Agree - Transwiki. It's probably obvi that I'm obvi jealous that Kotepho beat me to it, and obvi that I've never heard this rediculous term before, but the obvi thing for me to do is to not only incorporate it into my everyday speech, but (obvi) defy convention by obvi using it everywhere except the end of a sentence.

  • Delete per nickel shoe. Blink484 22:28, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki and or Delete (if unverifiable) per above. I didn't realize that people even abreviated this word. Radagast83 05:39, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • There's no evidence that they do. NickelShoe (Talk) 05:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Exactly my point. Radagast83 06:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Then why transwiki? If it's trash, we shouldn't really be putting it in someone else's yard, should we? NickelShoe (Talk) 13:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
I found [1][2][3] three mentions in student newspapers. Good enough for me. Kotepho 15:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
