Aside from lacking sources to demonstrate notability of this term, there's also no evidence to suggest it's not a neologism. Further, this seems like this could be original research filled with weasel words. --Craw-daddy &#124; T &#124; 17:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete sounds like original research to me. Themfromspace (talk) 17:39, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Never heard the term, plus for a drerogatory comment to work, wouldn't it have to sound just a bit different? MadScot (talk) 19:29, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unsourced, can't find anything to verify the claims in the article. Bill (talk 20:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to Role-playing game terms - doesn't need its own article. BOZ (talk) 20:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Neutral - This term has been in reasonably wide use for at least 15 years, and probably 20 or 25. I remember its use in Dragon Magazine many years ago. Sadly, all my copies of Dragon are currently in a crate in my parents' loft, so I can't produce a source straight off. And of course, verifiability does not guarantee notability.

 * Delete I looked for as many sources as I could and added a few more external links to the article, however I don't think they establish notability. They are also not very reliable, mostly blog type stuff.  Even though I bet the term does exist I can't vouch for its notability and have to say delete. --Banime (talk) 21:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I changed my vote to Merge and Redirect to Role-playing game terms, as I think it would be useful and informative there. Not enough to stand on its own as an article though. --Banime (talk) 23:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and replace with a redirect to role-playing game terms. Percy Snoodle (talk) 06:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - although it's certain not OR, this is just not notable. -- Logical Premise Ergo? 15:49, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
