Courtesy flush

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

Contested prod. Urban dictionary entry with no stated notability except for two trivial mentions in popular media. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 21:28, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Transwiki It's a reasonable enough term that I wouldn't call it a neologism any longer, but it belongs there as a dictdef. Jclemens (talk) 21:46, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - This article is apparently too much for some users to handle. However, I see nothing at all "inappropriate" anywhere in the content; the most offensive word is "defecation", which happens to already be in the Wiki. Also, how can this be irrelevant because it is a phrase, when there are Wiki entries for "BYOB", "BBW (much more inappropriate than this article - it is primarily used in 'sex-wanted' ads online)" and others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.90.232.82 (talk) 15:56, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - it's slightly more than a dictionary definition. It's a novel concept that cannot be expressed with any other word or combination of words. - Richard Cavell (talk) 00:09, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete An unnecessary article that's childish, but also original research. The "how to" section was an added bonus, perhaps the result of carrying a laptop everywhere.  I can't see that this would be a worthwhile topic in any event.  Mandsford (talk) 02:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete again. You could try a transwiki but I don't think this would meet even their standards for sourcing of usage.  The current version is nothing more than a dictionary definition of a neologism (both inappropriate for the encyclopedia).  One of the alleged sources cited in this article isn't even about this subject - it's about a not-particularly notable product.  Rossami (talk)
 * Delete the second source asserts that "Courtesy Flush" is a product. The first source is not a reliable one, given anyone can edit it (yeah, I know...), there seems to be no indication that this is a notable subject, or widely used, never mind having gained significant coverage in independent... etc. So fails WP:N, also fails WP:V... definite delete, unless you can prove notability and... actual useage. -  Toon  05  21:07, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
