 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

(Failed PROD.) This appears to be a non-notable neologism. If it belongs anywhere, it belongs in wiktionary, but I would question if it even belongs there. I say delete. Irbisgreif (talk) 23:38, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, per WP:MADEUP. Wuh  Wuz  Dat  23:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Note. This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 1). This has been rectified Greg Tyler (t &bull; c) 16:48, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. A made up dictionary defintion of a neologism. There are hundreds of Twitter-related words, lavishly published across the internet. It's not our job to write about them.

 * Actually, aren't such people called "Twatters"? <b style="color:#00A">Greg Tyler</b> <sup style="color:#A00;font-weight:bold;font-size:10px;">(<b style="color:#A00">t</b> &bull; <b style="color:#A00">c</b>) 20:52, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per above (I was the original prodder, BTW). Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  01:59, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I did a Google search and there are numerous news outlets blogs and other pages using this term. As such I would disagree that it is made up. RP459 (talk) 22:46, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * But this is true for thousands of Twitter-related terms. Things that a made-up, the tabloids use them once to prove how hip they are, and then are never used again. I see no conceivable argument that Wikipedia should document all these terms, many of which are listed here, and many many more which are not. <b style="color:#00A">Greg Tyler</b> <sup style="color:#A00;font-weight:bold;font-size:10px;">(<b style="color:#A00">t</b> &bull; <b style="color:#A00">c</b>) 13:46, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
