[edit] Unbirthday

This was tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "Words/phrases used in movies are generally not of enough importance/significance to merit their own articles". That, in itself, doesn't make the article a candidate for speedying, so I submit to AFD. 72,600 Google results for "unbirthday". Coffee 09:00, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh, by the way, my vote is to keep. I imagine the article could be helpful to people unfamiliar with Alice in Wonderland who come across the word. Coffee 14:47, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

• Actually, it is only the subject of a song in the Disney movie... in the original books it appears in Through the Looking Glass in the Humpty Dumpty chapter as a passing mention [1].--Isotope23 18:21, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
