Wikipedia is not a dictionary, this neologism doesn't seem to have received the kind of coverage from reliable sources to write an encylopaedia article. Guest9999 (talk) 19:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete This has clearly become an attack page. Someone keeps posting peoples names on the page. [User:Ecoli0157|Ecoli0157]] (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 14:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: Not really worth saving.--Mblumber (talk) 19:54, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

are people homophobes around here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Freddygotfingers (talk • contribs) 20:11, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - Fails inclusion criteria. And no, the majority of us are not homophobes. asenine say what? 20:17, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - No, we're not, but this is a non-notable neologism, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary or guide to slang. JohnCD (talk) 20:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. There doesn't seem to be any reliable sources that verify the subject. Rnb (talk) 20:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete Save this one for the Webster Dictionary's year-end listing of new words, if it is truly a new expression. And the comment/question regarding perceived homophobia among the editors was not appropriate for this discussion. Ecoleetage (talk) 21:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I hope anyone who uses this term gets slapped hard, gay or not. Otherwise, unnotable and seems made up (especially from a user who has the title of that horrendous Tom Green bomb as their username). Nate • (chatter) 21:43, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable WP:NEO / not-a-dictionary. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:07, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete idiotic. JuJube (talk) 00:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, falls afoul of our neologism notability guideline. Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC).
  • Speedy Delete as attack page; csd template added. Most of the above comments refer to older versions of this article before it became an attack page. Merenta (talk)
Comment I removed the attack from the article. It was vandalism added by an anon. Declined the speedy. However, the issue may be moot as this appears to be headed for a snowball close. Dlohcierekim 13:45, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as there is no assertion of significance in the article. Contrarily, it states this is "new gay lingo." I find no examples on the web of this usage, beyond urban dictionary, which is not a reliable, verifiable source. All that said, it would still be no more than a not notableneologism or dicdef.
