Truthiness
Sorry but this, to me, is utter crap. found on User:Ashibaka/Hoaxes Werdna648T/C\@ 08:37, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Can you be more specific than 'utter crap'? Did you even look at the sources in the article? Or the many comments on the talk page? This is definitely not a hoax. Remy B 08:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment It's a repost though. There's a reason why this is a second nomination. Werdna648T/C\@ 08:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. The content is certainly not the same as the last time it was deleted. Doesnt this line assert the notability of the topic: ""Truthiness" was selected by the American Dialect Society as the 2005 Word of the Year, and by the The New York Times as one of nine words that captured the spirit of 2005. "Truthiness" has also been discussed in the Chicago Tribune, Newsweek, MSNBC, the Associated Press, The Huffington Post, and Chicago Reader, on ABC's Nightline, and on The Oprah Winfrey Show (see below). In January 2006, "truthiness" was featured as a Word of the Week by the website of the Macmillan English Dictionary."?
 * Keep. WHY? Why does this need to be deleted? Stephen Colbert often refers to this word in his show and MANY OTHER NEWSCASTORS have used this word as well. This article is more about the current event revolving the word than the actual definition. --DragonWR12LB 08:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Hmm.. the last 5 minutes of activity has convinced me that this is NOT a hoax, and certainly notable - much more so than it was after the last AfD. I'm delisting the nomination and removing it from the hoax list. My apologies for wasting your time. Werdna648T/C\@ 08:52, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
