Flambish

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

This article appears to be original research. It originally had a prod tag, but the creator removed it without actually improving the article (s/he explained the reasoning on the talk page, but it appears s/he doesn't understand WP:N). Google came up with no sources that "flambish" is related to the word "flam" or that it is a word at all, even in Norwegian. And when I Googled "flambish" and "flam" together, it came back with a single hit, which doesn't even mention the two words in the same context. In addition, the two apparent references in the article link to the same page, which doesn't mention "flambish" at all. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 17:01, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NEOLOGISM; I cannot find "reliable sources specifically about the term". Cordovao (talk) 17:36, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:DICT, WP:NEOLOGISM, WP:V, and WP:N all apply here --Miskwito (talk) 17:57, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - not verifiable, the sources cited don't mention the word, it's not in the SOED, I can't find any confirmation of this meaning, and anyway Wikipedia is not a dictionary. JohnCD (talk) 18:09, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Out of curiosity, what's SOED? THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 06:47, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary - "shorter" by comparison with the full 20-volume OED. It comes in two fat volumes with a magnifying glass to read the tiny print, but fortunately it also comes on CD-ROM. JohnCD (talk) 07:58, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary. There doesn't seem to be any coverage of this in reliable sources either. Tim  meh  !  19:39, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
