Rapedome
Article appears to be original research (WP:NOR) and there are no matches in searchable media outlets for this term being common enough to merit an article. Finally, the figures given are questionable and are not in line with currently known data. If this changes substantially in the near future, this may be worth revisiting.

 * Delete per above. C HAIRBOY  18:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I've heard this term repeadedly on the LiveJournal community since the attacks started taking place. It's also working over on Myspace.
 * Unsigned comment by 65.80.52.246, users third edit, the other two of which are also 'rapedome' additions.


 * Delete. The comment "largely young black men raping young white women" indicates that this is original research because it doesn ot appear in media reports. Even if this term is appering in on-line communities, that makes it a dictionary definition for Wiktionary, not an encyclopedia entry. Even in that case, it is unlikely that the term will be a part of the American English language beyond the end of October. Ground Zero | t 19:03, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I've deleted it. It claims 2000 rapes in one day- not terribly likely. However, the reason for speedying it was the aforementioned racist comment, indicating it is primarily an attack page.--Scimitar parley 19:36, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
