Gaga (term)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed for no reason. This term is not notable and is better suited to Wiktionary. Beerest355 Talk 23:26, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - If kept I think this should be at Gaga (word). Seems to be the more commons disambiguator. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:31, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. I am generally wary of NOTDIC as a deletion argument, as it tends to be thrown at any article about a word, regardless of notability or encyclopedic content. In this case, though, the entry is essentially a dictionary entry disguised as prose. It offers definitions of four different homonyms: an English slang term meaning "infatuated" or "slightly crazy", Yuri Gagarin's nickname, Lady Gaga's stage name (via Queen's Radio Ga Ga), and a game called Ultimate Gaga. Per WP:NOTDIC, different things named by the same word should have different encyclopedia entries. I'm not convinced the slang term (which should be the only thing considered here) is notable as a term. Cnilep (talk) 03:50, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - I agree with Cnilep. It's a term that is used but I see no real encyclopaedic value in detailing the tenuously-linked pop culture references. violet/riga [talk] 22:38, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep To delete this would be gaga! This ain't an ordinary term... It's gaga!!! But on a serious note, this isn't just a dictionary entry... ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 09:12, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * My concern is not that it's a dictionary entry, it's that it's a non-notable word. Wikipedia is not Wiktionary. Beerest355 Talk 16:48, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * How is it not notable? Gaga has to be one of the most enigmatic and bizarre words ever. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 12:53, 13 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete per violetriga. It's a dicdef by way of WP:SYN. --BDD (talk) 16:37, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
