Tuulk
Wikipedia is not a means for promoting pet neologisms. Needless to say, the "motto" entirely fails the Google test. Uncle G 17:26, 2005 Feb 7 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Delete. Josh Cherry 01:29, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Tuulk isn't a pet neologism, and we don't feel it to be appropriate that tuulk would be deleted on recommendation of some people who've never been in the eastern part of the Netherlands were it's in common use. And since when is google the criterium for testing things that happen in the real world? Keep tuulk listed!!! Hilbrand Bos


 * It's not the only criterion, but it's been a criterion for some time. And it's a good one, too. See Google test. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:42, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete, neologism, borders on patent nonsense -- Ferkelparade &pi; 10:35, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep,Tuulk has nothing to do with neologism. Keep Tuulk listed.


 * An Encyclopedia without a phenomenon like tuulk is not a real encyclopedia, so keep this phenomenon in it!!! spellie 16:07, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * KEEP THIS, this things are intressant!!


 * Comment: both votes above added by User:195.85.147.43, who also saw fit to remove my delete vote. The other two anon voters have not contributed anything except their keep votes, User:spellie, who allegedly signed one vote, has no contributions at all. I smell sockpuppetry. -- Ferkelparade &pi; 15:22, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete, not yet familiar enough to English speakers to be encyclopedic in an English-language encyclopedia. The Dutch-language Wikipedia currently lacks any article on Tuulk. Try submitting it there. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:42, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Maybe Dutch Wiktionary, nothing more. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:22, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Wrong language, folks. As soon as it becomes well known in the English language world, call me :) --Woohookitty 00:34, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete - I am Dutch and I've never even heard of it (and Holland isn't that large, really). 212.206.63.108 10:33, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Keep - The question should be whether Tuulk has something to add to your knowledge. You can discuss the importance for tuulk being incorporated in the encyclopedia, but what you should really care about is that one specific person that wants to know what tuulk is, because he hears it all the time in the that specific part of Holland. I know that it isn't a strong argument for many of you never have wondered what tuulk is. Anyway, I'm glad that everyone in this discussion - also in the english world - knows what tuulk is. That's a beginning. Hilbrand Bos
