Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Shawshank pee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When does a neologism cease to be a neologism and become a bona fide expression? It seems that the editors of this fine website do nothing other than a "Google" search as means of verifying evidence. Does a phrase have to be found on a certain number of other sites to be considered notable? Who is this body that makes the executive decision if something is worth recording? I realize that it would be ridiculous to record every phrase that every tenth grader makes up: "Pulling a Parnham" or whatever that article was titled. However, this phrase is not something that I made up. I would also like to note that I am not a high school student either. I have merely heard the phrase around the city I live in (Kitchener, Ontario), as well as neighboring cities. I decided that after an unsuccessful search on Wikipedia for the proper definition, I would construct it myself. Yes, it is my first article, but I don't think that the article should be thrown out because it was written my a "newbie", as one of the editors put it. I also realize that this submission more than likely looks like a feeble attempt by a teenage kid trying desperately to keep his faux article from getting deleted by using language he thinks seems sophisticated. Nevertheless, the phrase in question is, to the best of my knowledge, a real phrase. I've said all I can in defense of the article. I will now leave it to the editors of the website to do as they see fit. Enots1

- That's my point. Just because a quick google search reveals nothing doesn't mean it's not valid. Enots1
