 * Weak keep. The acronym is defined in The F-Word (book) and the New Partridge Dictionary of Slang, both reliable secondary sources. Per a Google Books search, it appears in at least a couple of dozen books, including novels as well as memoirs or other non-fiction. I'm not certain it can be expanded beyond a dictionary definition, but I think the potential exists. Cnilep (talk) 01:25, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * If the mere existence of a definition was sufficient, we would have an article for each of hundreds of thousands of words in each of hundreds of languages. Powers T 23:02, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:NOTDIC. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:49, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - has been conclusive defined in reliable independent sources, thereby meeting both WP:GNG and WP:NEO. The content goes beyond what you'd read in a dictionary, so WINAD does not apply. Linguogeek (talk) 22:03, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Care to share some of those reliable independent sources? Currently the article has none... Stuartyeates (talk)


 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Contrary to Linguogeek's assertion, a comprehensive dictionary entry would include all of the information found in this stub article.  Powers T 23:02, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP is not a dictionary. Agree with LtPowers. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:13, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. per WP:NEO and WP:NOTDIC. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:54, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
