Ridonkulous
I prodded which was removed shortly. As I stated in the Prod rationale: Non-notable neologism; Wikipedia is not a dictionary of slang --Fuhghettaboutit 03:32, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The quality of the article has been much improved since I prodded, with some links to usage, but all are to dictionary entries --Fuhghettaboutit 03:41, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Congratulations, neologist. You have just won a trip to Del Eté. Roy  boy cr ash  fan  [[Image:Flag_of_Texas.svg|30px]] 03:38, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neoprotodicdefodonkulism.  - ikkyu2  ( talk ) 03:58, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Anyone noticed that one of the justifying links is actually to a dictionary of neologisms? -- Imban 04:22, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete A truly Ridonkulous neologism. --InShaneee 04:38, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Deldonkete nn, maybe wiktionary-worthy. Eivind 04:41, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as neologism. --Ter e nce Ong 05:20, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Move To wikionary, particularly if anyone can confirm it appearing in newsgroups and tv shows regularly. I've never heard of it myself.--Vercalos 07:43, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable unstable neologism, i.e. protologism. &mdash;-- That Guy, From That Show!  (talk) 2006-03-04 07:52Z 
 * Move to Wiktionary, it's pretty common at least where I am. Grandmasterka 08:55, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wiktionary. Only one of the 3 previous external links included source information. Only one of that source's citations is WP-reliable. (I removed the 2 useless links and added the 2 Telegraph.co.uk articles I found that included the term. I left the neologism site link alone because it's informative for editors and source researchers.) Wiktionary may find this meager sourcing acceptable. In any case, it doesn't belong here. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Transwiki to Wiktionary, does not belong here. Can&#39;t sleep, clown will eat me 12:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki: It's a common term that has entered the vocabulary. It should be listed somewhere.  If not here, then Wiktionary.  User:DannyAnno
 * Transwidonkify to Widonktionary as sladong termidonkogy. Fagstein 20:57, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * transwiki to wikidictionary. I am unconvinced of the etymology given in the article. JoshuaZ 15:31, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * transwiki to wikidictionary. I can see the word origin working, but wikipedia is not the place for it.Ayreon 20:32, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
