[edit] To do the 'Ronaldinho'

Fancruft, dicdef, fork from the soccer player, unlikely search term, there's just too much wrong. Delete; perhaps transwiki if it's not too much of a WP:NEO violation.Alba 18:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - The person it is named after seems somewhat notable, but the actual subject of the article isn't. — ßottesiηi ^{Tell me what's up} 18:55, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and do not transwiki as would fail Wiktionary's attribution criteria I would think. Could be made into a cheap redirect to Ronaldinho but I doubt this would have any real utility.--Fuhghettaboutit 19:31, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no need to transwiki this protologism. -- Mithent 20:18, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• DO NOT DELETE the definition does not stand to talk about Ronaldinho directly but is about the phrase 'to do the ronaldinho', something very different. This has been widely used in many countries since 2000. The idea behind this when thought about is very logical. so again I state DO NOT DELETE --Blacdize 21:01, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• i agree with blacdize 100%. Wikipedia has many phrase defintions for instance 'the gadget show' taking this phrase off simply shows that wikipedia is not as up to date with common terms as it would think. i myself and many of my colleagues have used this phrase on a day to day basis so i say keep this definition --freeofchange 22:20 , 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment The preceeding comment was left by 84.66.198.59, there is no user called "freeofchange". It might be worth running a CheckUser on Blacdize, as 84.66.198.59 might be the same account. Gwernol 23:56, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NEO and it is too much of a neologism for a transwiki. 1 person and his colleagues using the term daily doesn't quite cut it. If that were the threshold for inclusion there would be an Isotope23's Idioms article already.--Isotope23 21:27, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete neologism, as the article itself admits. Completely unsourced, so violates WP:V as well as WP:NEO. Do not transwiki. Gwernol 21:47, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Do the Roy Keane huge fan, never heard the expression, neologism. --Eivind^t@c 23:48, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Do the delete -- Hirudo 03:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, this is a dicdef of a neologism. The Google hits for the phrase do not clearly indicate the meaning of the phrase as described in the article. Ronaldinho as the incumbent FIFA World Player of the Year is extremely notable, but that doesn't mean that a phrase containing his name is worthy of a Wikipedia article. --Metropolitan90 05:11, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Clearly a neologism but I've seen some amazing videos on Google Video and know exactly what the authors of the article mean. Therefore Merge into Ronaldinho. GT 07:45, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
