 * Delete - WP:NOTDICT "Wikipedia is not a dictionary, phrasebook, or a slang, jargon, or usage guide." Also MOS:NEO "(Neologisms) ... should generally be avoided because their definitions tend to be unstable and many do not last." — Maile  (talk) 01:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete for lacking GNG. There is no WP:SIGCOV, no WP:PERSISTENCE, no indication at all that this term is discussed as a a term in scholarly literature. It appears to fall under WP:NOTNEO and, even if it weren't a neologism, it would be barred through WP:DICTDEF. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:52, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment There may or may not be enough coverage of the term to mention it at xkcd, in which case this should redirect there. TompaDompa (talk) 20:08, 19 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete - This is just a dictionary definiton. Please see WP:NOTDICT. Even if it were expanded upon to be more than just a definition, the subject doesn't meet the GNG (see WP:Notability). While a few sources outside xckd have mentioned Nerd Sniping, they're essentially just saying the definition, and not enough of those sources meet the criteria for reliability.
