Apresphere

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod, unreferenced article on a term lacking significant coverage in 3rd party sources. RadioFan (talk) 13:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't believe this is any different to any other articles on wikipedia. Look up apres ski or ski and you get an explanation of the word and some examples. What is the difference? Wikipedia is at it's very basis a glorified dictionary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamjlclark (talk • contribs) 14:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:37, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Other stuff exists is not a valid argument in a deletion debate, either for or against. Pointing to an equally bad article will not save this one.  You are wrong about Wikipedia on just about every count.  Wikipedia is not a dictionary, such entries are specifically excluded by WP:NOTDICDEF, the correct place for dictionary articles is Wiktionary.  You are also incorrect in that this article differs from other Wikipedia articles in failing to verify that the term is notable by references to reliable sources.  Delete.

 * Delete - google turns up two hits for aprêsphere, both to wikipedia. As apresphere, 7 hits, mostly mis-spellings for French.  No indication of notability, no coverage in secondary sources.  Looks like a cheap marketing term that someone is trying to spin.  Also fails WP:NOT.  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 14:52, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable neologism. Not that it's definitive, but Google has hardly heard of this term. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  15:50, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Dicdef and hopeless neologism. A redirect to après-ski is not required. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 16:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
