[edit] W00f

Nominated by EivindFOyangen for PROD, it could become a good article if expanded; 45,100 Googles indicate some notability. I vote keep, but I'm bringing it to AFD after removing {{prod}} since two people wanted its deletion. King of Hearts talk 02:25, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete or merge with leet, agree with Eivind, List of Internet slang is a better article to merge into --TBC??? ??? ??? 02:32, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge I'm only getting 578 ghits, so merge with List of Internet slang. Eivindt@c 02:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with List of Internet slang or leet--Xyzzyplugh 02:51, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per Eivind --Deville (Talk) 03:06, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment by the way, in the unlikely event that people want to expand the article... this is just another way of spelling the word "woof". The term wasn't invented in 2000 as the article implies, I find useage of it as early as 1992 in a usenet search. This is just typical internet leetspeak, where o's in words are replaced with zeroes. Because, of course, that makes words more k3w1. --Xyzzyplugh 03:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete As WP:NOT an idiom/slang/whatever guide List of Internet slang is quite horrible already. kotepho 03:17, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. An alternate spelling of "woof" will never be a good article. This is the kind of thing that should have been quietly merged. It's really difficult to get slang definitions deleted on AfD, even if policy is ostensibly against dictionary definitions. Brian G. Crawford 03:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
