I'm still new to this: what's the official offence for non-notable slang? "Original Research"? --Grocer 04:37, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not sure that this could be classified as 'non-notable' slang. Having read the article and dug around the web, this seems to be a useful name for a real crime. Mind you, I've only been searching references for five minutes, so half a dozen citations from forum posts up to two years old might not meet the verifiability guidelines. --die Baumfabrik 04:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Perhaps merge into Online dating, but I can't see where. &#2384; Metta Bubble puff  05:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * merge into Internet fraud, with links in Online dating, mail order bride or wherever. &#2384; Metta Bubble puff  04:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Internet fraud, which has a section on online dating fraud. Term gets a fair number of web hits, but I couldn't find any that could be regarded as reliable sources.   dbtfz talk 05:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete term gets about the same number of web hits as I do. Compare with scams like 419 which score hundreds of thousands, or millions of hits.  This looks like a minor neologism on certain web forums (which are not reliable sources).  Any citations from dead-tree media? Just zis Guy you know? 14:10, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Redirect as suggested by Dbtfz.Pop Secret 23:41, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge I would merge his into mail order bride. I know they say online dating in the article, but the context to me that this belongs to that subject.  I am surprised frankly that the mail order bride article has no section on scams since they are quite prevalent.Montco 03:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
