WP:NOTDICTIONARY - I PROD'd the page and after the page's creator posted his concerns on the talk page, I decided to remove the tag and nominate for AfD to get other user's feedback. Meatsgains (talk) 03:02, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm generally skeptical of NOTDICT arguments, as they tend to sweep up stubs or articles that are genuinely about words or phrases. But this article is focused on three (well, two and a half) definitions of the word, so there is no clear non-linguistic topic. And since I can't find books or scholarly articles about the word as such, I don't see hope for an article here. Cnilep (talk) 03:20, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Mm. well it seems to me that there is some indication of it being a notable term in skate/board/surf culture    - so further research may well uncover enough resources to write a sensible page on that topic.  In my view, however, the page would need a much tighter focus on the use of the term within those subcultures rather than a general dictionary-type definition. JMWt (talk) 11:35, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to Glossary of surfing. Straight up WP:DICDEF, and the key definition is one for which we have a glossary. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 13:25, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: I've struck my !vote, above. The comment stands, but I've no objection to a redirect to the glossary. Cnilep (talk) 03:55, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
