Mc Bain
Nonsense. Can't find any Google hits for it. RickK 07:50, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Original research. It might be a real colloquialism that refers to an actual dialect spoken in McBain, Michigan, although I can't find any supporting documentation for this claim.  I'm willing to change my vote to keep if someone can substantiate the article.   --Viriditas  | Talk 09:16, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unverifiable original research. --Angr 12:58, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless and until third party verifiability supplied - David Gerard 13:21, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unless third party sources are cited and verified. Zzyzx11 22:39, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to McBain, unless someone can cite a peer-reviewed reference. I'm automatically skeptical of novel English dialects described in articles full of spelling errors.  McBain has a disambig for the only two McBains I know of: Rainier Wolfcastle and McBain, Michigan.  --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 01:01, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
