This is a dictionary definition of a neologism (ignore that bit please, I seem to have made a mistake describing it as such) parading as an encyclopedia article (WP:NOT) and, dare I say it, an excuse to put some pretty pictures into the encyclopedia. Nothing encyclopedic here; suggest transwiki and/or deletion. kingboyk (talk) 00:35, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This subject is clearly notable and, although badly written at the moment, is notable enough to be included. I'd go and find sources myself if I didn't think my fiance would think I was looking at anything I wasn't meant to be looking at (If you get what I mean).

  • It's a well known word, but that's all it is: a word. That's what Wiktionary is for. I'm struggling to see how anything encyclopedic could be written on the topic. Is that a cue for me to do some research? :) --kingboyk (talk) 00:43, 8 December 2007 (UTC) (e/c)[reply]
• Keep, badly written and needs better sourcing, but it's not really a neologism. Though I have my doubts about that first reference... Corvus cornix_talk 00:40, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - You forgot to tag the article for AFD - I did it for you. :) Cheers, Spawn Man ^{Review Me!} 01:07, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The script I use must have failed. Thanks for taking care of it :) --kingboyk (talk) 01:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep agree with Corvus cornix that it needs a rewrite and better sourcing (and probably only one salacious image). This has achieved WP:N however. JJL (talk) 01:21, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. It's definitely not a neologism, and the sources seem to be legit. I have no idea how it could be expanded, however. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 01:28, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mansour's Pop Culture Encyclopedia of the Late 20th Century (ISBN 0740751182) devotes exactly 3 sentences to the subject, one of which is a personal opinion. Uncle G (talk) 01:34, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Corvus cornix. Clearly notable, references need improvement. --Evb-wiki (talk) 01:52, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment it gets some Gnews hits: [1], [2], [3]. Other hits are for a Toronto-area band of that name (e.g. [4]), probably different from this band [5], [6] and this band [7], [8]; here's a CD by that name [9]. How many bands have to name themselves after it before it becomes notable? Here's a NY Time story on the phenomenon: [10]. Certainly it's at the Urban Dictionary [11], but many blog and video clip hits too. JJL (talk) 02:28, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Ok, and per Spawn Man (notwithstanding his fiance issues). Geeesh. --Evb-wiki (talk) 02:10, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • I feel warm and fuzzy inside! ;) Spawn Man ^{Review Me!} 02:14, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Corvus cornix. The NYT story helps; I'm reasonably sure there's enough information around for a decent article. Maxamegalon2000 06:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and don't forget to peek at Handbra. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 07:33, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Subject is notable enough for inclusion. Rray (talk) 13:59, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep per Ten Pound Hammer. Article has multiple sources.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 14:43, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Transwiki to wiktionary. Article should be a definition, as it isn't really encyclopedic. --MacRusgail (talk) 18:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
