New Yorseycut

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to be completely made up -- zero hits in Google for New Yorseycut. I could not, however, think of a speedy delete criterion this would fit under. Maybe an admin bolder than me will? Newsaholic (talk) 22:55, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I really wish CSD included these silly attempts at publicizing neologisms. —KCinDC (talk) 22:57, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete wow - Zero hits. Clubmarx (talk) 22:58, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I do not understand why this has to be deleted. I have heard this phrase used on a few occasions and I do not find it offensive nor irrelevant (Connecticut clearly is a part of this geographic region). It may not be important, but I find it a neat word. If you are using Google as a source, sure you aren't going to get any hits. Only few people use it.... and who would blog about it? I heard the word yesterday, I thought it would not be a harmful thing to write about. Interesting, that's all. And you all don't need to be so rude about it. -CTcitizen
 * If only a few people use it, then it has no reason to be on Wikipedia (see WP:NOTABLE). —KCinDC (talk) 23:10, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete As someone who lives in the NY-NJ-CT area, this is the very first time I ever heard of the area called that. WP:NEO problems here. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:13, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete sorry, but Wikipedia is not UrbanDictionary. The creator of this article should look to post this there instead of here if it's a "local slang term" or something similar. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 23:21, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails the linkfarmspam test, ie: a whois shows that no one has even bothered to register NewYorseycut.com as a link farm, no less a legit site.  Even mispellings get more respect than that. P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 23:45, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * delete as non-notable neologism. SkierRMH  ( talk ) 00:21, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete I apologize in advance to CTcitizen, who created this article in good faith. Bear in mind that we see a lot of new articles created by persons who are trying to be funny, and that if one has never read or heard "New Yorseycut", it sounds like someone making a joke.  From what I gather, part of why you liked the description was that you had never heard it described that way before.  In both cases, the reason for your positive reaction and our negative reaction is the same.  My personal favorite portmanteau was "Brimaquonx" to describe New York City, something that Mario Pei repeated in his book The Story of English.  The reason for a deletion is that for a topic to get a "page" of its own, it has to pass a test of notability, which is usually defined in terms of coverage by reliable and verifiable sources that can be cited in order to respond to the skeptical reader.  Thus, if the New Yorker used the term on multiple occasions, or it was being heard on WPIX when they're talking about the weather, that would be notable.  If it's any consolation, there are seven more people than there were yesterday who have seen the word "New Yorseycut".  Please don't let the introduction to AfD turn you away from contributing to Wikipedia. Mandsford (talk) 00:56, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete not a single source can support this formation in Google or Google News / Archive. Alansohn (talk) 22:54, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
