Pocket_Tubmans
Person trolling the wikipedia keeps adding this and similar nonsense. A Google search shows no results for "pocket tubmans". The term is the troll's own creation. 2005 03:30, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as unverifiable. Btw, don't remove the content of the page when voting for deletion no matter how much its nonsense - that way, others can judge too. Grayum 10:08, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete. - This is nonsense.  Syrae Faileas 21:16, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as unreferenced, and remove the entry in Texas hold 'em hands unless sources can be provided--Outlander 21:42, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - I Yahooed it and it showed up twice ... http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22pocket+tubmans&fr=FP-tab-web-t-290&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8 . I've heard the term used at 2 different colleges before.

 * Delete. Two Yahoo search engine hits does not notability confer. Even if the term exists, Wikipedia is not a (slang) dictionary. MCB 05:30, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per other delete voters. Not verifiable since no references are provided. Quale 17:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Term almost certainly does not exist: the scenario given wouldn't happen often enough for there to be a term for it. Even if it is a real term used by somebody somewhere, this isn't a slang dictionary anyway. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  02:14, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Do Not Delete There are terms for almost every scenario in poker. The term was established during the latter stages of the Civil Rights Movement.
 * (preceding unsigned comment by 69.139.85.183 02:41, September 1, 2005); this is the author of the article in question
 * Speedy delete as nonsense. Sasquatch   &#35762;  &#30475;  02:46, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I know this isn't the most eloquent phrase in the world but it really is used. If you take this out, you'll need to take out the many other ethnic and racial slurs I've found on wikipedia.  Cracker has a page for Pete's sake.  It would not be fair to take something like this out when many people have heard it.  I've heard it, not proud of it, but heard it before.  I say it should stay.

 * Delete. The term is not used anywhere except in this person's head who keeps make new identities to make single nonsense posts here pretending his stupid term has existed for years, despite it appearing nowhere on the Internet except where he has posted it. Ugh. 2005 01:51, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as unverifiable. Google has no evidence that this term has ever been used except in reference to this Wikipedia article. --Metropolitan90 06:45, September 3, 2005 (UTC)


 * Do NOT delete. I have heard this used in many a poker game.  I believe it was used on Celebrity Poker at one point.
 * Above is yet another sockpuppet of the troll, see Contribs under Bushwhacked. 2005 22:04, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Believe it or not, I was at a poker game the other day and someone used this phrase. Maybe the trolls know something we don't, but I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it. MrSpleen7 09:02 September 6, 2005 (UTC) first ever contribution of this user Special:Contributions/MrSpleen7
 * Abstain, but perhaps some kind sould could explain to me (I am not an American) how the term is "inherently controversial"? Or better, add the explanation to Tubman. -- Aleph4 16:22, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It is not "controversial". The term simply doesn't exist except in the troll's head. Harriet Tubman was an anti-slavery activist in the 19th century. Apparently the troll thinks naming two black queens after a black woman is funny, and that the name "tubman" itself is somehow funny. The troll has been vandalizing all over the encyclopedia, and this stupid article is just another bit of his childish vandalism. 2005 22:01, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Also note the troll's vandalizing of the main Harriet Tubman article. 2005 22:10, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
