The Rat Look

This is still a neologism lacking in references. No mainstream media are using the term "the rat look" to refer to cars or bikes. The articles Rat bike and Rat rod are barely clinging to existence on Wikipedia, and The Rat Look is just a meta-article that tries to synthesize the two into a larger concept base on zero reliable sources. And by that I mean "Wikipedia is not for things made up one day." Better to add meat to the other two articles than to spawn more ephemeral articles. --Dbratland (talk) 20:10, 2 May 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Prior AfD: Articles for deletion/The Rat Look
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - Definitely. No sourcing beyond what's there now lends little confidence. The google search is obviously confounded. I'm not seeing much to loose or reasons to not delete it. Shadowjams (talk) 09:10, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The only reference is from rat-look.com, and unless the neologism is mentioned elsewhere, it is probably not notable. Also, the article is an orphan, as the only article pages that link there are redirects (see here). -- Brandon 5485  20:18, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
