Sniggle

Contested prod for a non-notable protologism. Wikipedia is not Urban Dictionary; there is no place for this here. Lady of  Shalott  20:03, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * According to Talk:Sniggle there was a VfD discussion at one point in time. I'll see if I can track down the proper link. Lady  of  Shalott  20:08, 15 June 2011 (UTC) Well, it appears that is the link. The talk page is it.  Lady  of  Shalott  20:10, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. The work sniggle is used in EJ Poostay - The Reading Teacher, 1984 - JSTOR, [URL http://www.jstor.org/stable/20198630] Google Scholar gives:

EJ Poostay - The Reading Teacher, 1984 - JSTOR ... 123-26,163. Jabberboxy 'Twas August, and the impen swarms Did twitch and sniggle in the slats; All permy were the posimarms And full of intra-chats. ... And will he end up on the rocks, Or will he sup?rate?" Tis May now, and the impen swarms Still twitch and sniggle in the slats. ... Cited by 2 - Related articles - All 2 versions

However, it must be said that this article needs some work to ensure that sniggle is described in the way the above source (or other reliable references using the word sniggle) do.

 * Keep The topic is notable and so should be kept in accordance with our editing policy. Warden (talk) 07:10, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Notability involves significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The article currently appears to lack such things.  Do you have anything more?  Sergeant Cribb (talk) 17:43, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The article now contains several such sources. Perhaps you need to refresh your browser cache. Warden (talk) 18:32, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding that. I don't see why you think my browser cache ought to have contained at 17:43 a reference you added at 18:22, though.  Sergeant Cribb (talk) 18:38, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

I withdraw the nomination. Well done, Colonel. Lady of  Shalott  19:12, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
