Swaffling

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

Doesn't seem to be notable, but being the Dutch Word of the Year may count for something. HeureusementIci (talk) 23:16, 20 December 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete--I assure you, no one asked me for my favorite word. I do note that the only English reference for a translation of a Dutch term is urbandictionary--and that we don't accept as a reference. The word is a translated neologism, and its meaning and scope is trivial. Perhaps it's the word of the year in the Netherlands now, but it won't be for long, and if some insensitive idiot wants to swing his dick against the Taj Mahal, who cares?

 * Delete Already covered in the Dutch wiktionary (which is where a word of the year should be). Since the whole thing was never officially translated and the win was based a single news event, I don't see how an article could be developed from this. The word of 2007 was Bokitoproof which is no longer in wide use, so this one too is unlikely to have lasting notability. - Mgm|(talk) 09:29, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Does it exist on the English Wiktionary under Dutch words? 76.66.195.159 (talk) 05:58, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Do not delete People swaffle, but so far there was no name for it. There's an article on things like fellatio as well, which might as well be declared unimportant and flagged for deletion if swaffling doesn't qualify. With the media exposure regarding the topic, the election to word of the year and the picking up of the english neologism by some urban dictionaries, I think the existance of a wiki article on it is justified. - User:Naggiepoo|(talk) 15:05, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
