Catholic street slang
All Google hits for "catholic street slang" turn up Wikipedia mirrors. This is unverifiable original research. [ +t, +c, +m, +e  ] 12:54, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The page does not even say where and by whom this kind of language is used, but certainly not by people speaking any kind of street slang. Martg76 16:23, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Possibly a hoax. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 16:35, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * weak rename because phrases such as mea culpa have expanded into more common useage. The other examples are more questionable.  The name of the article is terrible, however, if the intent of the article is to explore the use of Latin phrases that have their origin with either the Latin Mass or Catholic Chrisendom.

 * Isn't reason to delete this lot and mention any expanded use of the term in Mea culpa? - Mgm|(talk) 22:17, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unverifiable original research. - Mgm|(talk) 22:17, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Ecclesiastical Latin perhaps?  ALKIVAR &trade;Radioactivity symbol.png 23:55, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I am the one who tagged the article as WP:NOR. Regarding WP:V, please see Talk:Catholic street slang for principle author's claims to such; note also that, AFAICT, the alleged source has not yet been properly provided 3 weeks after requesting it; though I have not checked Wikisource, I doubt Caufman would have bothered to post it there.  As noted at Talk, I think there is some merit, in light of the continuing existence of Christianese, to retaining this article in some fashion separate from mere Latin, Ecclesiatical or otherwise.  However, I do think it needs to be cleaned up if it is to be retained.  For now, I abstain from the vote, as I don't hold a stong opinion in either direction. --Kgf0 16:42, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment; even if the letter by that bishop were provided, the term Catholic street slang would still be a neologism provably used by a single person so far. What makes a new term notable is its widespread use, not the fact that it has been used (only) by an important person. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 17:16, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
