Declined speedy/contested PROD. A non notable term. Only source is a forum post, not a reliable source. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:16, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. B.Rossow talk contr 20:29, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as non-notable neologism. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:40, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Note: I put the first AfD (with a very similar rationale) on it but something went wrong and it didn't appear on the article and then this AfD got started shortly afterwards. I propose we use this one and ignore my one as it hasn't had any votes. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:40, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I closed the first AfD per your request. For future reference: you can close an AfD by adding to the top of the AfD and  to the bottom of the article. See WP:NAC.   JUJUTACULAR  | TALK 21:03, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete – To be honest, I have heard of the phrase and was actually able to pull up a number of references and scholarly works as shown here on Google News and here on Google Scholar  .  However, the piece, as currently written would have to be completely discarded and written from scratch.  If someone has the time and energy to start a new, I would be happy to support.  However, as it stands, delete. Thanks ShoesssS Talk 20:42, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I presume you mean about actual meat sold or served on the bone as a food item, rather than as a euphemism for something else. If so, I agree. There was the whole kerfuffle about beef on the bone during the UK BSE scare. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:52, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly…I have also heard the expression used in terms of a proposed project or idea such as “…this proposal/idea has some real Meat On The Bone”.  But like I said above, the current piece could almost be classified as nonsense.  ShoesssS Talk 20:59, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NEOLOGISM. I see no indication that this is a widespread cultural phenomenon.  JUJUTACULAR | TALK 20:46, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
