 * Old debate here.

Essentially a neologism, this is a term that golfer Tiger Woods used to describe its heritage. It is not encyclopedic in and of itself.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  14:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. It is a neologism, and one that hasn't even caught on.  Wikipedia is not the place for every nifty little non-word that a famous person utters. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 16:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Tiger Woods. "Cablinasian" is the key word in a notable quote from Tiger Woods; it is not a notable term in and of itself.  Furthermore, the entire point of Tiger Woods' remark was to illustrate the lunacy of trying to fit each person's heritage into a tidy little box.  How ironic then that there is now a Wikipedia article trying to pass this neologism off as a recognized and notable way of classifying ethnicity.  Just divide them up into smaller boxes!
 * The section of the Tiger Woods article that I referenced covers all of the important information about this term. I think the redirect is valuable, because I can very easily envision someone encountering this term out of context in an article about Tiger Woods and trying to search for it on Wikipedia.  But it definitely does not need its own article. --Jaysweet 16:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Redirect - The plan that Jaysweet proposed sounds like a good soloution. -- Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor  ( ταlκ )  18:15, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NEO or a redirect would work Corpx 18:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as an article but wouldn't hurt to include it somewhere on Tiger's page. --UntilMoraleImproves 21:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment As I mentioned, the term is well-described at Tiger Woods, which gives all of the useful information in the article plus puts the quote in context. --Jaysweet 21:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect per Jaysweet. At best a semi-notable protologism connected solely with Woods. --Dhartung | Talk 21:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per Jaysweet. --Fabrictramp 21:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
