Jagged Edge (lifestyle)

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

The topic of this article may be notable (see Bent edge ) the term is not. The article is standing on two user submitted sites (including urban dictionary). I looked through google books and there is no mention of this term. Guerillero &#124; My Talk   13:38, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete couldn't find anything reliable to WP:verify notability. It's a WP:NEOLOGISM and likely WP:MADEUP. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:36, 29 November 2010 (UTC)


 * User: Guerillero has discovered other sources adding notability to the concept that there is or was an alternate lifestyle to Straight Edge. Wether it is called jagged edge or bent edge it exists, it is not made up, and urban dictionary adds to the notability as well as the definition. I am not wedded to the title Jagged Edge, however that particular article, created 11 October 2010, predates the bent edge article, created 27 November 2010. In stead of deleting Jagged Edge wouldn't it make more sense to expand it with the content of the Bent Edge article. I find it odd that the creator of Bent edge is the same user proposing to delete Jagged Edge. When I first discovered the alternative to Straight Edge it was referred to as Jagged Edge. That being said, I believe there should be redirects from Jagged Edge, Bent Edge, Curved Edge, whatever so that users of Wikipedia will find what they are looking for. I believe what is called for is a compromise and merger not a deletion. I prefer this description from the jagged article "It is intended to be a satirical mockery of the term straight edge." In my mind that is what happened. I therefore humbly submit that Bent Edge be merged into Jagged Edge. I ♥ ♪ ♫ 04:56, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Urban dictionary is not a rs anyone can add anything to it. Bent edge is notable. Jaged edge is not. There are no RS that talk about that term that i could find. I can't find anything reliable that calls it a "It is intended to be a satirical mockery of the term straight edge." All i can see it that it was a reaction to the growing movement. If the articles were to be merged (jagged edge is turned into a redirect since it has no rs in it)it should say as the names used in real sources. --Guerillero &#124;  My Talk   20:56, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
