Non-notable expression. Likely made up or neologism. Prod tag was removed. Taking it to AfD. Jarkeld (talk) 20:08, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:MADEUP. Googling for "Filan koai" yields precisely two results: the article and the discussion to delete it. FYI, here's Google's translation of the article: Filan koai is a greeting that is used in the northern Netherlands. Especially the residents of Northern Virginia and Opsterland use this greeting. The greeting can be used as a greeting meeting but also as a farewell salute. Filan koai speaks as follows: "Filan koooaaaajjj. Currently Filan koai very popular, you'll see that almost everybody uses greeting. This greeting is a bit ko. Pburka (talk) 00:23, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. I am fascinated that Google got "Northern Virginia and Opsterland" from "Opsterland en Smallingerland". Besides that, I thought that perhaps it was Frisian, but I can't find anything to corroborate that either. —Largo Plazo (talk) 01:30, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. We do have articles on greetings - Hello comes to mind - but those articles show both long historical use and notability, and (most importantly) are backed by reliable sources. If this term gets to be that widespread and notable, and if sources exist, then perhaps an article is appropriate. But we're not there now. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:56, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unreferenced neologism in a foreign language. Looks like the creator saved their work in the middle of a sentence and never went back. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 19:54, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
