Winter rat
Delete. Slang dicdef, probably a neologism. android&harr;talk 21:53, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * A google search shows that this term is in limited use in the same way described in the article. It is, however, a slang dicdef used only in the area immediately around Syracuse, NY.  Delete after transwiki to Wiktionary.  Rossami (talk) 01:29, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: I'm not sure that a transwiki is warranted, as Wiktionary might not want our cast-offs, nor may they want slang that's merely regional (don't know).  Geogre 02:17, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Wiktionary doesn't want Wikipedia's cast offs. But it will take articles about words and about idioms that meet the Wiktionary:criteria for inclusion, and as long as it doesn't have articles already.  (Wiktionary passed the 70,000 word milestone a short while ago.) Uncle G 11:25, 2005 May 18 (UTC)
 * Delete, slang dictionary definition. Megan1967 07:12, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * The original author responded on my talk page; I will change my vote to Transwiki. android&harr;talk 20:51, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
