Bold name

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is an unusual article which discusses the term ‘bold-name’ as used in journalistic prose. I think there is probably a dictionary definition in here, but the rest looks to me like the creator’s interpretation of the connotations of the term as used in multiple examples produced by a google search. I’m not sure this is an encyclopaedic topic at all. Mccapra (talk) 07:44, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - the sources, as far as I can tell, use the phrase without actually discussing it. I can't find any sources discussing the usage of the phrase itself. As the nom says, this is probably one for Wiktionary until and unless we get a few secondary sources discussing the usage of the phrase and/or its importance. ƒirefly  ( t · c ) 09:50, 10 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Author request: If it isn't yet article-quality, can it be draftified? Pi314m (talk) 10:04, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Articles absolutely can be draftified as a result of a deletion discussion, however the idea of draftspace is as an "under construction" area for articles that are not yet ready for mainspace. I am skeptical that this article will ever be much more than a dictionary definition, barring some new coverage being published about the phrase in reliable, secondary sources. ƒirefly  ( t · c ) 10:58, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
