Non-notable term, not to mention the references are Urban Dictionary and a website that's hasn't been active for three years. A google search turns this article and the references in question. MattParker 119 (talk) 01:42, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Urban Dictionary is a user-submitted website packed full of amusing, made-up stuff, and is pretty much the exact opposite of a reliable source. Then, we have a couple of references to gamer blog posts. Also not reliable sources. The article has a long list of video games that the author thinks suffer from this "affliction". That's all original research as it is all unreferenced. Delete per our guideline on non-notable neologisms. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:59, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:NOTNEO. Lack of reliable sources, the list of games that are included is WP:OR, etc etc. Sergecross73 msg me 14:27, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Using UrbanDic as a source? Really? Hell, I'm on there, so it's clearly as far from reliable as can be. Salvidrim! 20:24, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Surely the description of you is accurate, isn't it, Salvidrim? Precisely how many thousands of sites do you participate in? Do you have time to eat or sleep, or are you a bot? Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 21:16, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't sleep. Google suggests About 7,890 results. The top ten include my Twitter, Facebook, G+, Youtube, EBay Wikipedia page (User and talk!) and personal website.... interesting. Salvidrim! 21:21, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's a very real problem and should be here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.49.83 (talk) 11:49, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
