Delete: a tad too dictionary-esque. I don't like to use the phrase non-notable but I think it may apply here. GoldenTie 20:39, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- You don't need to use it. As Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day explains, our core official policies (in particular Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary and Wikipedia:No original research) exclude protologisms and neologisms without having to involve notability.

Delete per nom. How could it have "quickly caught on" if the term is only two weeks old? James084 21:32, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Do not delete it! I needed to search Wikipedia to find what the word meant, and the term was here for me. There's no need to delete something just because it's a little archaic (for now).

<NO DELETION> This word DID catch on real quick. It started on the Daily Dilbert blog, and now it's a widespread word, used mainly by bloggers, but it's also been included in the urban dictionary. "LOL" has a link at wikipedia, why not 'boctaoe' ?

- Comment: Do you have a reliable source that you could cite to prove this? Stifle 23:42, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If EOE wasn't a dab page we could've redirected, but there's nothing currently to redirect to. Grutness...wha? 23:05, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
