Slurgyness

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

An article on a neologism, an example of what Wikipedia is not. Specifically, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, nor is it for things made up one day. This term has no real notability. A speedy was declined for this article, and the original author did away with a seconded PROD, so here we are at AfD. --Dynaflow  babble  12:30, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * As the article tells us outright, it is an abuse of Wikipedia as a soapbox to advertise a protologism. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and novel concepts are not permitted.  And no, Wiktionary doesn't want unattested protologisms, either. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 13:25, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not verifiable by reliable sources. - Mgm|(talk) 13:44, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete I would have tagged it for a G3 speedy myself. -- Finngall  talk  14:57, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - as opposed to claiming notability, the lead sentence admits the opposite. "Slurgyness is a 'Neologism' as such this article does not claim that slurgyness is an established or even a 'real' word.".  LinguistAtLarge &bull; Msg  16:06, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - per nom and other comments. The Rolling Camel (talk) 16:55, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete with a prayer/request for snow. Drmies (talk) 19:16, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete garbage. JuJube (talk) 22:00, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:SNOW - the article basically admits it's a pretty precise violation of WP:NEO and WP:MADEUP. Indeed, it doesn't quite work with any of our speedy-deletion criteria but it's certainly worth removing forthwith. ~ mazca  t 22:35, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
