Cop out of water
Non-notable neologism or dicdef, appears to be original research. PRODed, but author asserts notability on talk page. Article's title assumes that a police officer belongs in water. Brian G. Crawford 20:51, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Replace with category. The term seems to be commonly used by media websites to describe police dramas as claimed by the author. But there's no content for an article, it's just a category.  Slowmover 23:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as unverifiable. Stifle 20:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Excluding Wikipedia results arising from the creator's own edits, the term gets a grand total of 40 distinct Google hits. IOW, not a popularly recognized term; I'm not even convinced that this is generally considered to be a separate genre from plain old police dramas. And as for the category, I'm about to CFD that, too. Delete. Bearcat 16:52, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Bearcat. Kuzaar 19:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Bearcat. While this is a pretty familiar plotline, I have never heard this term used for it. Bearcat's application of the Google test suggests that this is original research. Thus it gets the hook. Daniel Case 17:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
