dork
The same anonymous user added the same original article to both Wiktionary and Wikipedia. Wiktionary turned it into dork. Wikipedia has done pretty much nothing to the original text apart from attract vandals and add a note supposedly supported by a web page that doesn't actually contain the word "dork" anywhere. I'm tempted by the idea of just putting a on the page, but the fact that even the original author submitted the article to Wiktionary where it belongs sways me towards outright deletion.

 * There needs to be a redirect here. Possibly geek, to capture the modern meaning; but wasn't this also the guy whose job it was to bite heads of live chickens at a freak show? Redirect or disambiguate as necessary. Meelar (talk) 21:57, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to geek.--Matteh (talk) 08:03, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Riffsyphon1024. Just kidding. It's a dicdef. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:09, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as the final step of a successful transwiki. Do not redirect to geek.  It is has a different definition entirely (though some of us manage to be both).  Compare dork to geek.  Rossami (talk) 07:26, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
