Kissing moon

Deltion nomination Contested prod. This is a dictionary definition and, per WP:DICDEF, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Another Wikimedia site exists for articles like this, and that is Wiktionary. This reasoning was explained in the original prod. The prod was removed, and a single sentance was added indicating that Stephen King has used the term. OK. Even if true, that doesn't make this any more of an appropriate encyclopedia article. Jayron32| talk | contribs 19:52, 26 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete unless proper, non-fiction sources can be found that would allow expansion of the article. That said, if it can be  properly sourced, I wouldn't particularly object to having this article, even if it never got quite as detailed as Harvest moon or Hunter's moon.  The problem is that I haven't been able to find anything that would even confirm that the term is used as described in the article at all (and that's unexpected, since usually stuff like this is easily found online even if it's not in common use).  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only reliable source I've found is a critical review of Stephen King which claims that it's a "lunar designation", but since no astronomy sources (scientific or popular) mention it, I suspect it's an idiosyncratic usage by King himself. Fails WP:V. --Dhartung | Talk 21:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a nonstandard usage at best. Really, deleting this is a tribute to King's creativity, yes? CRGreathouse (t | c) 03:55, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
