Contested prod. Non-notable neologism, appears to be little more than a dictionary definition. TN X Man 21:56, 23 December 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Timotheus Canens (talk) 01:00, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is just a dictionary definition of a legitimate and recognized English word, even though the article represents the word as being a neologism. I disagree with the nom about the word being non-notable and a neologism, but nevertheless this article should be deleted because Wikipedia is not a dictionary. No transwiki to Wiktionary is necessary; see smidge which already exists. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:25, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Nothing wrong with the article, but it belongs in a dictionary not an encyclopedia. Northwestgnome (talk) 07:02, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It would be appropriate to place a soft redirect to Wiktionary here. "Smidge" is a plausible search term, and redirecting to a dictionary is more helpful to end-users than simply deleting the material.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  10:35, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
