Syfy (disambiguation)

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

Unnecessary dab. I have found no proof of "syfy" being short for syphillis, and even if it were, the matter could easily be solved with a hatnote. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 20:27, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, there is minor coverage on syfy possibly being the plural form of the polish word syf, but it translates to "total bloody mess" with only minor references found to Syphillis. I just don't see there being enough coverage to really justify having it listed as a nickname, particularly when it appears that if it is one, it isn't an English one. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 20:42, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment  Urban Dictionary is ABSOLUTELY NOT a reliable reference but it confirms the slang usage meaning "syphilis" as being Polish in origin. Drawn Some (talk) 21:22, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment & Keep The ironic thing is that the first person that tried to delete the page I created is that he thought the reference to the SciFi channel was unnecessary and it should be an automatic redirect to syphilis. Hmmph.  τßōиЄ 2001  (ǂ ) 13:15, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDIC, WP:NEO. — Rankiri (talk) 22:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's borderline WP:OR, undoubtedly WP:NEO, and probably WP:NOTDIC.  =David ( talk )( contribs ) 03:59, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Have to agree with Drawn Some that Urban Dictionary is not a reliable reference. Anyone can edit it anyways. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Turbo900 (talk • contribs) 23:20, May 12, 2009
