[edit] Trustafarian

Non encyclopedic, divisive attack singling out people perceived derogatively for their a) race b) faith c) economic state - can it sink any lower? ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 02:08, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment - Is it your claim that the article constitutes an attack or documents an existing attack? I have (very rarely) heard the term used in real life as a slur. I've never had a strong opinion how/if slurs should be covered in the encyclopedia. --Improv 02:18, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I've never heard the term until I read it here. For all I know, it was invented here as a means of slighting people. But even if it is in use, it's hardly encyclopedic. ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 02:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete dictdef of neologism. It exists, but should be somewhere else. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 15:29, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete neologism. And "Thou shalt not covet." Ruby 16:07, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete neologism, unencyclopedic. This kind of information is definitely not for Wikipedia. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 16:13, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, definition was already transwikied to Wiktionary: wiktionary:transwiki:Trustafarian. I presume it has been recreated. and deleted in April [1]. - Liberatore(T) 16:40, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - See these well sourced usages [2]. Terms/phenomena that "single people out" are not necessarily unencyclopedic. If that were the case, we would have a whole lot of articles to delete... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.107.1.103 (talk • contribs) 19:35, January 30, 2006.
