[edit] YOYO

YOYO (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable acronym that fails Wikipedia is not a dictionary and Avoid neologisms. Prod removed by only author. Also added by same author: FFTAGFFR. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 21:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete nn neologism. Nardman1 22:00, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Yo-yo—not because the two currently have similar content—but due to YOYO being a possible alternative spelling of Yo-yo. --TBCΦtalk? 22:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per TBC. --awh (Talk) 22:59, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Yo-yo as TBC said. I don't see the acronym as being notable enough. - Richard Cavell 07:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Author's Rebuttal: YOYO is NOT a "idiotic neologisms made up on the internet one day" Rather, it is an acronym that is now part of the public lexicon. I just did a Google search on "YOYO you're on your own" and found 20,500 entries. Thus, this acronym does NOT fall in the category of "...things made up in school one day." Unless you can cite another reason, then I believe that this entry should stand. - Jeff Trasel, 0658 PST, 12 March, 2007

• Delete - Non-notable acronym. The YOYO slot would be better used for a redirect to Yo-Yo. HagenUK 19:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Rewrite. According to these sources, YOYO was coined by D.C. economist Jared Bernstein. This article currently has no reliable sources to back up its assertions. It should be rewritten to reflect accurate provenance and usage of the acronym—mainly economic, not survivalist. —Carolfrog 03:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Move to wiktionary. Dddstone 11:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per User:Carolfrog to allow rewriting of the article. Perhaps redirect to yo-yo in the meantime. -- Black Falcon 03:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
