Seventysomething (term)
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A re-created article after 16 months of absence after 2 previous Afds. Georgia guy (talk) 13:35, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * In principle, this is a clear-cut speedy delete. However, I wonder if a better compromise would be to redirect this term, and all other age-related slang terms that don't have enough notability outside a dictionary definition, to a single article on age-related slang. Anyway, my vote is to Delete, Redirect or Transwiki to wikitionary, whichever is most appropriate. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 13:57, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * See Articles for deletion/Quinquagenarian for more prior discussion. Uncle G (talk) 14:17, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Note that when the articles in Uncle G's above link were articles as opposed to re-directs to Ageing, they were just lists that were very difficult to mantain. Georgia guy (talk) 15:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or Transwiki This is a slang term. Wikipedia is not the place for it.  Either transwiki to wiktionary, or delete.  DavidWS (talk) 19:03, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I created an article on this at Wiktionary.  Assuming that it meets policy/criteria (which it should, it is a VERY common slang term), I will create pages for twentysomething, etc.  and then we ought to be able to delete these articles.  Does everyone agree, or do you guys think there is a better way to do this?
 * There's no reason (as far as I know) why you can't create all these articles on wikitionary. Whether terms like twentysomething or thirtysomething would get transwikied is another matter. You'd have to create a fresh AfD for those terms, and since these terms are in more common use, they may survive an AfD. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 08:29, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
