[edit] Ugly Tree

Almost an A1 speedy, but I wouldn't be surprised if this "tree" were documented as a piece of folklore. Let's give it 5 days on AfD for someone to come up with sources, keeping in mind a possible merger to ugliness. Delete unless referenced in an encyclopedic manner.

• Weak keep. It's a neologism, but a pretty old and still popular one. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 04:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete no amount of verification or referencing will make Wikipedia any more of a dictionary and any less of an encyclopedia. -- IslaySolomon | talk 04:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Nonsense. -Will Beback 04:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete neologistical nonsense. Eusebeus 13:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. On the basis that the article Open a can of Whoop Ass remains, this article should fall under the same standard.-Erikrespo 07:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. There is a catagory for Fictional Trees but the Ugly Tree does not make the cut? --Milliamp 07:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Wow, ridiculous. The term itself is insignificant, and there is no content besides definitional explanation of meaning/common usage. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. GassyGuy 08:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete Patent Nonsense Patrick Hurston 13:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Made up nonsense. The only thing in the article that deserves mention somewhere is the ugly stick. DCEdwards1966 14:52, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete unless cleaned up. A well sourced version in encylopedic tone shouldn't be too difficult for those with a little extra time on their hands. In its current state its completely unencyclopedic and any new version would basically require scrapping this one. — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 00:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Very old phrase that needs explanation in an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. Mr Spunky Toffee 00:31, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete Patent Nonsense and article fell out of such a tree. Anomo 09:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Save it to BJAON ? Encyclopaedia Editing Dude 13:48, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
