[edit] Surrey Girl
Wikipedia is not Urban Dictionary. Reads like a dicdef, return ~580 ghits. Borders on an attack page. Contested prod. Delete. --james(talk) 10:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom Konman72 10:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- delete how many reasons do you want, offensive, unsourced, wrong (it's not a colloquelism), badly written. It could easily have been speedied let alone Prod!! --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 10:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy delete --Mais oui! 10:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment To avoid confusion the article refers to the Surrey in Canada, not the Surrey in England. We do have Essex Girl.Catchpole 11:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Looking for sources, I find this analysis of the stereotype. Uncle G 14:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete I don't dispute the term's usage (though 578 Ghits suggests that it's not particuarly widespread), but the current article is nothing more than an urban dictdef with little hope of meaningful expansion. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:23, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom ... and do suggest author to go to urbandictionary (though they don't need that kind of editor either). --Svartalf 16:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy keepAs per niggait needs to be expanded not delete. The term was used on David Letterman. Someone also provided a citation. There is no point to delete it.--Bonafide.hustla 18:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. If it first appeared on David Letterman, it's a neologism. Other than that, we're not Urban Dictionary. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 18:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

- Weak Keep Google shows it being used quite often (people being called it, etc.)--if we keep Essex_girl, this is not much different. Actually, perhaps a redirect to Essex_girl and a blurb there? LactoseTI 14:01, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Appears to be obscure and empheral slang. Piccadilly 22:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
