Trailer park trash
Delete Why do we have an article on a slangword that is commonly known and used? This is an encyclopedia, not a slang dictionary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DotShell (talk • contribs) -- Longhair 09:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The fact that a term is "commonly known and used" is no argument for deletion; otherwise we might as well delete cat,  dog, and food as well.  This article gives background explaining what the term means (useful to non-native English speakers) and why it is considered disparaging (useful to English speakers who do not come from an area with trailer parks). —Psychonaut 05:14, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, Rename to "trailer trash" as more commonly used (Google: 1,150,000 hits, 826 unique as opposed to 80,300/785 for "trailer park trash; yes, I'm kinda embarrassed to be talking about this). This is a poorly written article, lacking sources or any kind of comprehensive take on the subject, but it's a worthy subject. rodii 05:37, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep per Rodii - it's not a dicdef, though it needs lots of editing. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 05:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename to Trailer trash which is more common (need to delete the redirect which is currently there) Segv11 (talk/contribs) 06:00, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to Trailer trash per rodii and Segv11. --Aaron 06:17, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Trailer park. Trailer trash is way to POV when there's such an obvious alternative. Gazpacho 06:27, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is definitely an article which deserves to be kept; I don't care whether this is at trailer trash or trailer park trash. Cyde Weys votetalk 06:31, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Longhair 09:12, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep and rename to Trailer trash. Obviously a valid article, even if this needs some work. Eusebeus 03:49, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Agree with Eusebeus AnonMoos 01:55, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and maybe rename to just trailer trash. Skeeter08865 04:29, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki. We have articles about dog and cat because many things can be said about these species of animal.  This fails to go beyond a dictdef. Durova 08:49, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
