  • Keep.If it's going to catch on, it's good sense to keep the page, keep the history.
  • Delete. Damn good neologism, there. Probably will catch on and actually deserve an article someday. -- BD2412 talk 22:26, 2005 Jun 21 (UTC)
  • Delete. You gotta give your neologisms a little more time to simmer before you decide they're encyclopedic. That slashdot comment was from this morning! Donutz 22:35, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Promo for some internet neologism that has nothing to do with real Wobs. Kaibabsquirrel 22:40, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hypermegaultraneologism. One hour and 52 minutes has got to be some kind of record. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 23:24, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Wiktionary. Being from the future, I must point out that just because a neologism is new doesn't mean that it won't last. Seeing as the IWW were actually 'Wobblies', I don't see how this term infringes on the context of that article. Likewise, since many, many, many Workers of the World are now International, who better to make up a wob than Wobblies? Let's save ourselves the irony of a wob action in response to an insensitive deletion of such a fine young term. Let's just agree that this is not for the encyclopedia, but should be immortallized in the Wiktionary. Being from the future, I can tell you in confidence that this is where it's going to end up anyway.ur-ahem 23:35, 21 Jun 2005(UTC)

  • Keep Its useful and interesting. So what if it's from this morning? New terms have to be formed sometime and this one is surprisingly appropriate. -Jashmenn

    • Surely the author of the article can claim it was deleted by a wob! -- BD2412 talk 09:50, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
  • Keep. Its a catchy word and surely will catch on.
