 * Call me undecided. I feel like there is a lot more that could be said, depending on proper sources being located, but as it stands it is just definition and not an encylopedia article. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:27, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * found an old article reprinted from the Chicago Tribune Beeblebrox (talk) 00:32, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete This article is about the slang term for an "old-timer" to contrast with one who is newly arrived. I see from the article history that the dicdef issue has been noted since at least 2008. The term is adequately covered, and well-sourced, in the article on the Klondike gold rush. As far as the bread leavener, it has its own article. Redirect this article after deletion to the culture section of the Klondike gold rush article. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 22:14, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - As it sits, it is a dictionary definition of a slang term. Origins of the phrase in the Klondike gold rush and the bread product are already covered in other articles. The term "Alaskan" redirects to "Alaska" so it might be argued that a redirect could be left here without pain. Carrite (talk) 16:54, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
