Dicdef without possibility for expansion. Has been transwikied to Wiktionary. Taroaldo (talk) 16:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. This title has had previous lives as Knocknobbler and The Knocknobbler. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 16:52, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Yes, it was deleted a few days ago as blatant advertising. At that time the article promoted a book titled The Knocknobbler. -- Taroaldo (talk) 16:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Question. Same creator? - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:00, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Unknown. However Chateauchaos's account was created on March 24, 2008, and it does seem like an odd coincidence that such an archaic term has appeared as an article twice within days. --- Taroaldo (talk) 17:19, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: yes, same creator:, who has a book to promote: The Knocknobbler, or the Dog Catcher of Worcester by Bernard Cartwright. The first versions of this were directly about the book. Chateauchaos also created an article Dog warden which defined the term but then mentioned the book. The book plug was removed but twice replaced; the article has now been turned to a redirect. No doubt if this article stays the book plug will shortly be added. JohnCD (talk)
