Status[edit]

A previous page with the title "Twerp" was deleted: see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Twerp. At present this article is no more than a dictionary definition. Such definitions do not belong in an encyclopaedia, but in a dictionary. If this article is to survive, it needs to be provided with some substantial content. If not it should be transwikified to the dictionary. Peterkingiron 09:06, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page has been transwikied to Wiktionary.
The article has content that is useful at Wiktionary. Therefore the article can be found at either here or here (logs 1 logs 2.)
Note: This means that the article has been copied to the Wiktionary Transwiki namespace for evaluation and formatting. It does not mean that the article is in the Wiktionary main namespace, or that it has been removed from Wikipedia's. Furthermore, the Wiktionarians might delete the article from Wiktionary if they do not find it to be appropriate for the Wiktionary.
Removing this tag will usually trigger CopyToWiktionaryBot to re-transwiki the entry. This article should have been removed from Category:Copy to Wiktionary and should not be re-added there.

Deletion?[edit]

This is a pointless article - this seems to be a minor recently-published children's book. Apart from a few user- and talk-pages, this is linked to only one page (which is the author's, Mark M. Goldblatt), and a page for its sequel has not been created. This should either be deleted, or changed to be a definition and history of the colloquial term. Thoughts?

The book meets the notability criterion 'The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself' (WP:BKCRIT). So it would make more sense to improve it than delete it. If we do want an entry for the term twerp, the entry for the book could be moved to Twerp (novel). And the lack of an entry for the sequel isn't a reason to delete this entry: it's a reason to write one about the sequel! Alarichall (talk) 11:58, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
