Four-letter abbreviation

This isn't a proper thing. Article with no sources. It has three sentences; one is a dictionary definition (and a fairly obvious one at that); and two are wisecracks that, in addition to not being encyclopedic, are original research. Amisom (talk) 18:38, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Fwiw, the longer version of this article said that it had relevance in computer code, too. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - not encyclopedic, not notable, no significant references, something somebody just made up one day.Glendoremus (talk) 05:54, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:MADEUP indeed! Amisom (talk) 12:35, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- It's close to a recursive acronym, and lo and behold, we already have an article on that. It's not worth a redirect, though. Certainly no notability in and of itself. — Gamall Wednesday Ida (t · c) 07:43, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - While the term "Four Letter Abbreviation" does come up in searches, the results are pretty much only in the context of talking about things that happen to be acronyms with four letters, and not any sort of overarching concept like the article tries to claim. I'm not sure if this article was completely WP:MADEUP, but it certainly is not notable.  64.183.45.226 (talk) 16:43, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
