Suctum

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

In the article, there is both a claim to notability and a reference which is a reliable source: Machinery's Handbook 23rd Edition. Unfortunately, Google book searches on Machinery's Handbook, both previous and later editions, don't show any results containing the term "suctum". Online searches on related article terms along with suctum don't turn up any significant hits, although suctum is Latin for "to suck" and gets a lot of hits by itself. Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Fails two core content policies: Verifiability and No original research. Michael Devore (talk) 22:21, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing related on google of significance, utterly unverifiable.  The indicated offline reference is neither here nor there.  If this were a notable term, there would be more information out there.  As is, the article is either a dicdef of limited importance or a hoax. Cool3 (talk) 00:16, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is an interesting one. Yeah, the book exists, but it does not contain that term (at least Google says it doesn't). One of those terms (non clean-up) is (if I remember my Kanban well) actually inventory control slang. That in conjunction with the inclusion of a name and a specific geo location (NE Ohio) leads me to believe this might be some sort of inside joke. In any case, the term is non-notable. § FreeRangeFrog 00:22, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
