Good Egg


Wikipedia is not a dictionary Ratarsed 19:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as deprodder. Plenty of room for expansion on this term, even the prod2 commenter noted the term dates back to the 1920s. --badlydrawnjeff talk 19:48, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination -- by all means move to the Wiktionary, but not an encyclopaedic term. -- Ratarsed 19:52, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Trans-wiki to wiktionary. This is a definition. It belongs not in the encyclopedia but in Wiktionary. See. dicdef. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim  20:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Trans-wiki Its a well know UK expresssion. Should be in a dictionary. scope_creep 20:54, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki this obvious dicdef. From the username of the nominator I would guess that he, too, is British: this is an archaic British slang term, but really not encyclopaedia material, there ain't much that can be said over and above the definition. Guy (Help!) 20:59, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The first version of the article suggests the term is localized to "the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, namely New York, New Jersey, and the Philadelphia area". How bizarre. Of course its a Britishism Bwithh 22:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Transwiki (if necessary), then Delete. As the person who posted the prod-2, I'm pretty sure it dates back to at least the '20s (seen it in early Wodehouse), possibly further, but Wikipedia is not a dictionary.  Kudos to whoever removed the patent nonsense from the article, but it's still a dicdef.  Xtifr tälk 22:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki Wikipedia not a dictionary/glossary. No room for expansion (it's just an inversion of "rotten egg" or "bad egg") unlike e.g. curate's egg which is related to a very specific cultural artifact. Bwithh 22:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * There's a restaurant around here called The Good Egg. I am not sure of its notability, though. TTV (MyTV|PolygonZ|Green Valley) 23:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy transwiki - there's nothing else to say, this is a clear case. Nihiltres 04:22, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
