Waving a dead chicken (over it)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Sources in the article are web-based dictionary definitions, and a search for other sources returns the same, or passing mentions. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  07:19, 15 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Searches bring up a decent number of "hacker slang dictionaries" and the like, but few are actually reliable and I couldn't find anything to support more than a dictionary definition. The 2014 deprod cited "291000 Google hits" which is both irrelevant and couldn't be reproduced using the exact phrase. –dlthewave ☎ 02:01, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. The phrase is more of a joke than "jargon".  The mentions of Kapparot and Diogenes are... not helpful, let's just say, and add to an overall air of middle-school prank.  Nothing here belongs in an encyclopedia.  --Lockley (talk) 21:15, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and nothing suggests this could be expanded into a more detailed encyclopedia article whose sources demonstrate notability or something more significant than a definition. ComplexRational (talk) 21:38, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
