Big Name on Campus

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested prod. Neologism with minimal claim to notability. This article is largely about a specific person who used this term. GabrielF (talk) 19:09, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. I don't agree that it's a neologism, as it is quite a widely-used turn of phrase. However, the article amounts to a dictionary definition, and so should be deleted per WP:DICTIONARY. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 00:02, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Possibly we could. We already have wikt:big-name, though, and I'm not sure that "big name on campus" would pass Wiktionary's inclusion criteria, because there are lots of phrases that include "big name on x", like "big name on Broadway", etc. Anyone with more experience over there care to comment? —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 00:11, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete without transwikiing. Wiktionary is not Wikipedia's trashcan. Angr (talk) 21:33, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
