[edit] Staff of Rar

Contested prod. Per the article, slang term for a marijuana cigarette, claimed as common on IRC. Likely vanity in attribution. WP:NEO, WP:V, WP:WINAD. -- Fan-1967 13:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - whether or not it's the nonsense it appears to be, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. BTLizard 14:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not for things made up while stoned one day --Roninbk 14:58, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Wait! - There was no vanity in the attribution. I agree that WP is not a dictionary. While it may have been coined by a few stoners one day (several years ago), the phrase has since been used far and wide, and I hope to expand the meaning of this very soon. If possible, I would appreciate if some time could be given for this expansion, before reconsideration of deletion. Addition: I just noticed personal attribution was given to me at some point - this was not intended. SubWolf 05:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: It appears that usage is not very "far and wide". -- Fan-1967 21:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Just because I'm in a good mood, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on the vanity point. It still is a neologism, it still fails verifiability, and it's still a dictionary listing. --Roninbk t c # 03:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Not sure about the vanity bit, but its definately an unsourced neologism. And as a dictionary definition, it belongs on Wiktionary, if they'd accept it, which I'm doubting considering there's no proof of it being in common use. --Kevin_b_er 04:20, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
