Seaside Chic

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

Article started life as a spam entry. Contested speedy. IP editor who removed speedy tag also removed the spammier content, leaving just a completely unreferenced neologism. Wikipedia isn't a dictionary for terms that also happen to be the names of stores. Movingboxes (talk) 09:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge : Good candidate for List_of_chics or UrbanDictionary.com. After a little more reading: This seems a poor definition of "Seaside Chic". It's already on List_of_chics.  Maybe with a source, that definition should be added. Johnrheavner (talk) 10:19, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment If we could find documentation that the term even exists outside of the name of this store perhaps. Movingboxes (talk) 10:21, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment It seems to exist. See my updated text above. Johnrheavner (talk) 10:24, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment In the "inspired by the sea" sense described by the article? The article's definition is different that what I'm seeing at List_of_chics. Movingboxes (talk) 10:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment It is different, however of the same theme, which I suppose is seastuff. It's said above adequately, the term is highly a unreferenced neologism.  Considering the link to the store was used originally, I think this is a fan of the clothing who developed her own definition to reference it.  I'm new to Wiki contributing, so I'm not sure how common term-defining pages are accepted.  It would seem to me List_of_chics should resolve this. Johnrheavner (talk) 10:32, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * CommentI'm pretty new myself! I personally would support redirecting this to List_of_chics without adding the unreferenced material to the actual list itself. Movingboxes (talk) 10:35, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:DICDEF. Anyone can invent a new chic. That doesn't warrant inclusion. -- Escape Artist Swyer Talk to me The mess I've made 11:59, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:DICDEF as the hangon appeal iself states "It is only a description of the term." Ningauble (talk) 16:28, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
