Quadruple bluff

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

Standard Triple-N: Non-notable neologism. Also, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, let alone of the aforementioned. Vianello (talk) 22:16, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete due to lack of notability, lack of common use, and non-encyclopedic content. Try http://www.wiktionary.org/, although I doubt it merits inclusion there, as it seems to be a non-notable neologism. Jo7hs2 (talk) 00:17, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary and is not for things made up one day, which AFAICT is what this is.  2 D C  00:47, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * KEEP As the origonal auther of this article I have updated it sighting 4 aditional sources; A TV review, A book, an article from one of the UK's most respected newspapers "The Guardian", and a transcript of a cermon given by The Bishop of Sherborne in Salsbury Cathederal. as these all cover a large period of time and geographical location, I feel it would be inproper to delete this article.

 * Comment. These would indeed seem to address the allegations of it being a non-notable neologism and/or made-up. Unfortunately, the dictionary definition issue still looms. - Vianello (talk) 09:00, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment.Whilst I would agree that this appears to be a mere dictionary definition, my inclusion of an example of usage and links to other definitions, e.g. poker, for background on the origin of bluffing make it a valid entry.Stew9021 (talk) 09:48, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You haven't actually added anything that isn't part of a dictionary article. The quotations showing this phrase in use are classic dictionary article material, for example.  So are the language, part of speech, and inflection lines.  And you haven't cited a single source that supports the descriptions of what quadruple bluffs are.  So what we have is a dictionary article padded with original research, apparently. Uncle G (talk) 15:05, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * quadruple bluff is what your dictionary article looks like when properly formatted, by the way. Uncle G (talk) 15:19, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:NEO there need to be independent reliable sources that are about this term, not just that use the term. Otto4711 (talk) 12:06, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
