Crab mentality

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Original research, personal essay, term appears to be made-up.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  08:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. It's a term I've heard and used all my life, and in precisley the way described in the article, so the author didn't make it up.  But still, the article is definitely unencyclopedic and original research.  Mwelch 08:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per everyone else. Acalamari 18:45, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The term is not made up (it has been used for many years, especially in urban America), but this article is unencyclopedic and violates WP:OR --Mhking 20:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep The article needs cleanup to meet WP:OR. It is a common term that should be somewhere within the wiki universe.  Since the article has been transwikied that relieves some of my concern.  The problem is that since the article is 2.5 years old and still in its current shape it is hard to say tagging it will bring someone's attention to it.

 * Keep and clean up. Term is not made up. --Lmblackjack21 15:23, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep The term is not made up and refers to a well-defined phenomenon. Article needs expansion and more sourcing but the concept is worthy of an article. --Polaron | Talk 23:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:SOFIXIT. –Pomte 13:32, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
