[edit] Trifler

Trifler (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Notability has not been established. The one main editor the article is the person who invented the punctuation. LWizard @ 06:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

  • KEEP The trifler clearly communicates irony and sarcasm with people with education. You cannot delete this! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 162.97.4.57 (talk • contribs) .
  • KEEP An appropriate quote... "The difference between stupid and intelligent people [...] is that intelligent people can handle subtlety." - Neal Stephenson. The smiley face is not and never will be an actual punctuation mark. The trifler, on the other hand, is here to stay. If you can't appreciate its value, you probably shouldn't be using it anyway. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lips13 (talk • contribs) . — Lips13 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete. It's idiosyncratic WP:OR. Dicklyon 06:18, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as OR, with very few ghits, none of which seem to be relevant. Also, I think the ":)" functions quite well, and is more widely accepted as being the standard. :) Ultra-Loser Talk / Contributions 06:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete — Delete - seems like something someone made up on a whim. Non-notable. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 07:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. MER-C 09:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete You gotta be kidding... this is blatant OR. MartinDK 10:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, fails WP:NOR and WP:NFT. Looks like a made-up punctuation symbol. JIP | Talk 10:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, WP:OR, WP:NFT. --Terence Ong (C | R) 14:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete. As a hoax, nonsense, unverifiable, etc. etc. Spinach Dip 20:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC
  • Delete, WP:NFT. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 07:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.12.116.66 (talk • contribs) .
  • KEEP The trifler is a much more distinguished and mature use of punctuation than the juvenile "smiley face." I have observed an increasing number of instances of this up-and-coming punctuation mark. To delete this Wikipedia article would be a huge gaffe. -ALS The preceding semi-signed comment was added by User:207.237.241.129 — 207.237.241.129 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • KEEP Honeysuckle sways, to cast shadow dances on a fresh litter of pups. Granny apple green eyes meet burning beams of energy for the very first time. A giant bird startles the pup as the pilot noses down toward the airport. My puppy starts her journey into a world with no triflers, only people who know not the trifler existance - the very people who have recently started kicking at her. Folks we can't let this happen, because triflers help sustain good vibes that protect dogs|- --K B 06:44, 18 November 2006 (UTC) — K B Wilson (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
