Boondocks

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

Dictionary definition with uncontroversial etymology, sourced only to other dictionaries, no hope of expansion. Delete and move Boondocks (disambiguation) to this title. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 20:05, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - an article isn't necessary for a dictionary word. Henrymrx (t&middot;c) 21:37, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Agreed. Part definition, part alternative disambig page. And boondocks is not a geographical term...--Junius49 (talk) 22:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment A cursory Google search shows non-trivial coverage beyond dictionaries, with potential for the expansion of the article. I have added some of these references to the article; there are more. A little due diligence in future, please.  Skomorokh   05:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep A concept, not a word. A significant one, with sources in the article and no problem gfinding more. Needs expansion, not deletion.DGG (talk) 07:08, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Agree with DGG. older ≠ wiser 03:12, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unless this can be turned into an article about a 'thing', which it isn't at the moment, there's nothing here that shouldn't be in Wiktionary. It's a pure dicdef.--Michig (talk) 12:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources introduced by Skomorokh. Per DGG its a concept, a perceived condition of "rural-ness" and "yokel-ness", not just a dicdef.  FeydHuxtable (talk) 14:27, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Agree with DGG, it a concept not just a word.  D r e a m Focus  03:09, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Article is sufficiently developed to be more than a dicdef. Artw (talk) 05:22, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support/Delete -- per WP:DICDEF DreamGuy (talk) 02:29, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
