Weegee (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Only one entry on here is exactly called "Weegee". The others are all WP:PTM or misspellings. Also, the page on Glasgow does not support "Weegie" as a term for a Glaswegian, and Luigi does not support the existence of the "Weegee" meme, so those are not valid entries either.

 * Keep A key part of the justification to delete is incorrect, as Weegie is indeed a colloquial Scots term for someone from Glasgow. 1 2 3 and therefore the disambiguation seems appropriate. CT55555 (talk) 22:23, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Then why is that not in the article? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:25, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you asking why the article about Glasgow does not contain the Scots work for the name of the people from that city? If so, you're inviting me to speculate, so I won't. If it were to be included anywhere, I would expect it to exist in Glasweigan (but that redirects) or People of Glasgow (but that doesn't exist). I don't know if the Scots name for people from a city should be in that city's article or not, but to return to my first point, I think this makes the need for the disambiguation clear.
 * It does appear here https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Weegie and here Glossary of names for the British
 * Also note that there is not a formal spelling system in Scots, so the Scots word could be Weegie or Weegee. CT55555 (talk) 22:54, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Because someone deleted it? It tends to happen.... Cnbrb (talk) 22:41, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep the DAB page says "Weegee or Weegie" so entries for both are likely valid. The house could be called without "house" sometimes and Thompson is a valid entry per WP:NAMELIST.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 16:27, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I still don't see any proof that "Weegie" is a supported term for Glaswegians, or that "Weegee" is a meme about Luigi. Those are both therefore invalid dab entries. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:29, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * TPH, Did you see my multiple links, including from Wiktionary that prove that Weegie is a common term for Glaswegians? This is very easy to verify from the sources provided or a simple google. CT55555 (talk) 01:58, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I've added a The Scotsman source to several articles: "Baffie to Weegie: 18 Scottish words that are now in the dictionary - and their meaning". Clarityfiend (talk) 23:42, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Gee, wee should keep it. There are at least four strong entries in addition to the primary topic. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:42, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I see what you did there and I award you 7 points. CT55555 (talk) 23:43, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
