Unbirthday
This was tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "Words/phrases used in movies are generally not of enough importance/significance to merit their own articles". That, in itself, doesn't make the article a candidate for speedying, so I submit to AFD. 72,600 Google results for "unbirthday". Coffee 09:00, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, by the way, my vote is to keep. I imagine the article could be helpful to people unfamiliar with Alice in Wonderland who come across the word. Coffee 14:47, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
