 * Delete. Wow, guess it's not a hoax. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 18:08, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or soft redirect to Wikitionary. The term already exists there. See gormless. P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 18:27, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or soft redirect; already at Wiktionary, don't see this handy adjective as an encyclopedia subject. - The Right Reverend B. U. Gormless - talk 20:12, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Where I live, the word 'gormless' is common usage. However, this article is not encyclopaedic and I'm not too sure about some of it not being Original Research. 'Hickybear', for example. Very limited ghits, most referring to 'There's a brother doing the hickybear' which appears to be part of a song or rap. Peridon (talk) 20:16, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - "Gormless" is a wonderful, evocative, ancient word... which belongs on Wiktionary, as already plentifully noted. SteveStrummer (talk) 03:37, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
