[edit] Trebek effect

Trebek effect (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Unsourced, orphan, not notable. I feel confident I would have heard this term before in some context if it were really a "common slang term". Robert K S 05:01, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Fails WP:V. GassyGuy 06:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Delete per now. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 07:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Not a notable neologism. The example cited, an SNL sketch[1], doesn't even mention Trebek. --Dhartung | Talk 08:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete -- I've followed Jeopardy! and Trebek for the better part of two decades, and I've never heard of this one. Certainly fails WP:V as well. Andy Saunders 08:39, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - nn neologism, 6 non-wiki ghits. MER-C 13:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Neologism, and that's putting it nicely. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm convinced that the phenomenon is real and the name is apt. However, I found no sources verifying that this term is notable. The article is unverifiable and entirely composed of original research. Nick Graves 16:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Move (rename) to Hyperanglicization and add current title as a slang term. Now that I've done further research, let me rework the article with refs etc. Grika Ⓣ 03:25, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Response. An entirely new article ought to be created from scratch, in such a case. I can't point to anything in the present article that isn't POV/created from whole cloth/unencyclopedic in tone. Hyperanglicization is the intentional, often mocking mispronunciation of words and toponyms borrowed from Spanish, something that Trebek has never done. Robert K S 12:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
