Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NEET

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was ambiguous.

In reviewing the revised article, I conclude that it is still a definition (though significantly improved over the original version. Noting that transwiki does not destroy history and therefore does not require a VfD vote, I am going to be bold and add this to the transwiki queue.  Rossami (talk) 02:53, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

NEET
Dictdef of a slang term. Do they actually use an English abbreviation in Japan? RickK 07:36, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)

yes, it is a common term used in news and everyday speech. eg - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=NEET+Japan
 * Google shows four hits on the front page with Japanese text and NEET in them, so yes it appears this is a genuinely used term in Japan. That doesn't mean it's suitable for Wikipedia, of course, so transwiki to Wiktionary if they want this sort of thing and delete. Average Earthman 12:46, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Not in Employment, Education, or Training; or, a nickname for a japanese bum. Hmm, the only context I've ever hear it is Imageboards, but it might be wider.  No Vote Yet. humblefool&reg; 01:26, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, dictionary definition. Megan1967 01:35, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * At least Wiktionary. I think interesting enough (as an English-language acronym used specifically in a non-English-speaking country) to merit a weak keep -- Jmabel | Talk 05:00, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. It is actually a term used in local government youth services in the United Kingdom.  I'll update the article. -- Francs2000 | Talk  16:23, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Note to admins: when considering whether this article is to be deleted, please bear in mind that I have just completely re-written it. -- Francs2000 | Talk 16:29, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiktionary the rewrite; it's a dictdef plus usage. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 07:17, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)
