Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bingle

Non-notable and/or unverifiable. One of three dic defs recently contributed by an anon. Unable to find any relevant hits using various search strings. bingle clamp wastebasket gets one unrelated hit. Doesn't seem like a Wiktionary candidate. Niteowlneils 14:36, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * This may be a well-intended contribution (portmanteau word for basket + spring + dangle?), although the OED definiton is cuter: portmanteau for bob + shingle, a short hairstyle for women. Anyway, delete for dictdef. Bishonen 21:45, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * "Das Bingle" was a nickname Bob Hope bestowed upon Bing Crosby, but it is clearly not relevant here, and these guys were old before I was born in case you were wondering. Denni &#9775; 23:45, 2004 Aug 26 (UTC)
 * Das Bingle is ageless. "Bingle" is either a neologism not in use or a regionalism so specialized as to be unknown to the general language.  Delete. Geogre 00:39, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm not buying it. Delete. And that's "Der Bingle". -- Cyrius|&#9998; 02:14, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Which only goes to show how lousy Bob Hope's German was. :) Denni &#9775; 21:26, 2004 Aug 30 (UTC)
 * Comment: note that in Australia, a "bingle" is a minor car collision. Although that presumably would go to Wiktionary. Lacrimosus 22:12, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
