  • Delete: I'm not sure about Wiktionary's desire for slang, so I won't foist this into the queue for transwiki. Geogre 04:58, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Paper dictionaries include slang. Wiktionary does no less. The Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion do not require that a word not be slang. Wiktionary's criteria are based upon attestation. Slang words can, and cannot be, attested just as non-slang words. this is a strong indication that skel and skell are attested words. Uncle G 21:46, 2005 Jun 18 (UTC)

  • Delete non notable slang dicdef. JamesBurns 03:49, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Au contraire, quite notable to anyone who's watched a police procedural set in New York over the last ten years. Transwiki to Wiktionary -- I don't think there's much that can make this encyclopedic. Haikupoet 04:37, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I just transwikied it. --Dmcdevit 21:41, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
