The result was   delete. I'm deleting before Transwiki. This material is no use to Wiktionary, the sources aren't any good: they need permanently archived sources that attest to the use, not websites, and most of those terms are in Wiktionary anyway.

List of slang terms for fat people

 * – (View AfD) (View log · AfD statistics)

A combination of an indiscriminate list and, primarily, a list of dictionary words. Coming from the second link, "Wikipedia articles are not dictionary articles, are not whole dictionaries, and are not slang and usage guides." (bolding mine). Additionally, the references used are very iffy: going through, the most unreliable sources used are about.com, wiktionary, urbandictionary, and slangsearch. Mm40 (talk) 21:15, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Poorly sourced and poorly organized list. Belongs at Urbandictionary, not here. Angryapathy (talk) 22:13, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete we are not a dictionary. also, see List of slang terms for police officers for an even more poorly sourced list of this type, which i would recommend for deletion. if we did allow such lists, we would obviously have more than this one and List of terms for white people in non-Western cultures. List of terms for ethnic exogroups links to articles, thus is an acceptable list here.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:49, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to wiktionary 70.29.209.121 (talk) 05:39, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDICTIONARY. A fairly useless list which is just going to act as a magnet for every unsourced piece of slang under the sun (which is pretty much its' current state of affairs). SMC (talk) 11:19, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm not sure whether to delete what could be a good article, but it also has potential to become a magnet for vandalism. I'd like to see a discussion as to why this list was created.  WP:DICT could apply here, as does WP:LIST. Disclosure: I am 200 pounds. Bearian (talk) 17:44, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone. JBsupreme (talk) 09:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wiktionary. Kubek15 T  C  S 19:01, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Same descriptions given over and over again. It seems that it would do nothing but pour fuel on the spread of insults of overweight people. The C of E (talk) 21:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
