[edit] Superliminal

Slang entry in a dictionary at best -- work coined once on an episode of the Simpsons. Tabor 23:57, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge and redirect to Made-up words in The Simpsons. ~~Shiri — Talk~~ 00:59, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • We could redirect to Supraliminal, which it is a common mis-spelling of - if we had an article on Supraliminal (unlikely, it would probably be a dictdef anyway). Grutness|hello? 05:38, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Or treat it as a misspelling of Superluminal by redirecting to Faster-than-light. FWIW, that's the spelling that Google suggests for "superliminal." FreplySpang (talk) 13:06, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect per Shiri. It's as notable as the other words on that page, but it doesn't deserve it's own article.-LtNOWIS 17:04, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm hesitant to recommend the creation of a disambiguation page for all the words this might be a misspelling of. This is rather an odd case, isn't it? --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 19:48, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge content to Made-up words in The Simpsons and create a disambig for common mispellings. It's an odd situation, but I think that's the best option. --L33tminion (talk) 05:31, May 1, 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong delete, this does not even require a redirect, it is a made up word from a cartoon! Bluemoose 20:04, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
  • So made up words from cartoons should be deleted? What about super-notable ones, like D'oh!? The Simpsons is a very big part of our culture. Not that I don't respect your opinion-LtNOWIS 01:41, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
Exactly, super notable ones are fine, this word was used once!, shall we make an article on every word from the simpsons just because it is popular? Bluemoose 09:08, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect, per Shiri above. --Dcfleck 22:10, 2005 May 11 (UTC)
