  • Delete per nom. -- Roleplayer (talk) 20:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete although it's new; the title is horribly mangled (notice the same word is repeated in there), and the first and last word already have articles. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 21:16, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

First of all, Mr. McCracken, the title demonstrates different spellings, pronunciations, and exemplifies the use of the word in three languages. In the article this is explained. The first word deals with only the town of Reiff, not the linguistics of the word. The last word's article is an album by a band, it has nothing to do with the word itself, its origins or its meanings. Morepaint (talk) 21:28, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Now dealing with Mr. Ju66l3r. This entry does have dictionaries as cited sources, but the information has been compliled from these verifiable sources and is now in one easy-to-reach place. The interpretations of the meaning of each similar word qualifies this entry as being worthy of an encyclopedic nature, not merely a dictionary entry. Morepaint (talk) 21:34, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Please read WP:DICDEF carefully. Quote: Wikipedia articles are not dictionary articles, are not whole dictionaries, and are not slang and usage guides. All I see here is a usage guide to different spellings of the same pronunciation. -- Roleplayer (talk) 21:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Go ahead and delete it, after reading WP:DICDEF I have realized you guys were right, the article has been moved to Wiktionary. Thanks for your help.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Morepaint (talk • contribs) 22:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
