Fails WP:GNG by a mile or so.

Barring Ref 1, which is non-independent (and to an extent, non-reliable) & Ref 2, which is an op-ed; I fail to see significant non-trivial coverage in any RS. ∯WBG^converse 14:17, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Retain. Forestalls fascist use of Jewbook as meaning Facebook itself. Tens of thousands of, particularly American, Jews participate in these groups. User:Fred Bauder Talk 14:26, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. It sounds notable, but where are the sources? The current two are not enough, and the second source is cited only euphemistically at the moment. Zero^talk 05:48, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. WP:NOTDICTIONARY / WP:NEO. There isn't even an agreement in sources as to what "Jewbook" is. There is a small smattering of sources referring to different closed groups of Jewish people on Facebook as "Jewbook". Converesely, in far-right speak this is “jewbook,” a derogatory term for Facebook popular with the far right. Slate (based, in part, on Zuckerberg's religion/ethnicity I believe). The disparate topics do not rise up to GNG (e.g. which Facebook groups (generally not Wiki notable) specifically do these refer to?), and redirect to Facebook based on a slur would be wrong. Echoing Fred's concern above - this phrase is in very wide use in far-right circles (in various forums and chats) - it might make sense to WP:SALT this.Icewhiz (talk) 15:57, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Icewhiz, pardon me but Fred's concern? He was the creator and was asking to retain it as it supposedly forestalls fascist use of Jewbook as meaning Facebook itself.

  Agree as to the other salient points and about the topic missing GNG. ∯WBG^converse 16:24, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  I was referring not to Fred's creation of the article, but to his comment above of "Forestalls fascist use of Jewbook as meaning Facebook itself." - which is the COMMONNAME at least in internet forums of a very non-RS nature but quite voluminous in terms of usage (e.g. - see Slate I quoted above). I share his concern of such content creeping onto here, and would suggest that SALTing would be a solution preferable to a placeholder article on a non-notable topic (which may be vandalized to become such).

• Delete as Wikipedia is not a dictionary. As per Icewhiz, recommend a liberal application of rock salt. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:00, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
