Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Panyet

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. Three established users agree that this should be deleted. Thus, the chorus of unsigned votes, by anonymous users, with strikingly similar IP numbers, have been summarily disregarded. To them, I can only advise getting an account, making a few constructive edits and getting a feel for what is and is not encyclopedic. WP:NOT is a good place to start. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 08:00, Dec. 26, 2005

[edit] Panyet

Dictionary definition of an invented word, unworthy of Wiktionary. Pablo D. Flores (Talk)

• Delete, neologism. — JIP | Talk 18:44, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete article admits that it originated as slang and Google fails to generate relevant hits (surnames, Portugese texts). Durova 18:50, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep well written article and one which deserves to be seen. Neologism it may be, but additions like this are essential to the English language.
• Keep it does actually get several surname hits on Google, while I'm not quite sure why it must appear in Portugese - the chap is Greek after all. Neologisms appear every day on product labels in English, most of them meaningless compound words. This is at least derived from a name, and references a common experience. Perhaps we should give this little word a chance in the big wide world and see how it fairs!
• Keep it makes more sense to let the English decide what enters their language than an Argentinian and a Finn. It's quite a handy word, might start using it myself.
• Keep this is the kind of logic that would still have us communicating in grunts. "Panyet" is a valuable addition to our empoverished language, and I for one shall be lobbying the OED for its inclusion in their next edition. I just hope nobody else does so first — that would be deeply ironic!
• Keep isn't 'Wiktionary' a neologism (see 'meaningless compound words' above; wiki-dictionary or wikiary would be tolerable). Perhaps that should go too.
  • Comment This is a discussion, not a vote. Panyet is better suited to the Urban Dictionary. It just isn't encyclopedic. Durova 16:08, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This is a fine example of the way in which English grows and develops, one of its greatest strengths. Perhaps the article could be updated to make this clear? Am I the only one who finds this sort of thing exciting?
• Keep "Pinky chocolate fudge dumping" and "rusty trombone" are both to be found on Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure you'll fail to find either anywhere outside Roger's Profanisaurus - as an example of slang they're more or less unbeatable. Why on earth wouldn't "panyet" be suitable?
