Is this term much used? [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 04:47, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC) This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like other '/delete' pages is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion or on the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.
 * Comment: I am unfamiliar with the term. Then again, I'm not from the UK.  &mdash;[[en:RaD Man|RaD Man (talk)]] 06:25, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge with Winchester College and delete. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway Talk]] 07:17, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Good catch, Peter O. Campus slang.  When the article says it's used by "students," we don't know if that's all students or a single dorm room.  Worthless vanity of a private joke. Geogre 16:05, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete unless shown to be not someone's inside joke - Cdc 23:14, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment UrbanDictionary says that it is now more widely used. Maybe Transwiki? [[User:GeorgeStepanek|George\talk ]] 03:17, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Possibly. A quick google suggests that, apart from references in open dictionaries (which attract self-promotion), Goive appears as a surname and in isolated instances which look to me like mistyping of the word "give", where the writer's finger hits the o key as it reaches for the i. I'm not finding any forums where it is bandied about as if it were a popular slang word in the style of "froup" on Usenet.--[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway Talk]] 11:38, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * delete no matter how many students use the word, "Goive"! the entire article vanishes through the Bajoran wormhole Pedant 01:47, 2004 Dec 5 (UTC)
