The result was delete. If Wiktionary actually wants this, which I doubt, I can restore it for them. (actually according to the talk page it was transwikied in 2007 so it's a moot point) Beeblebrox (talk) 21:56, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP is not a dictionary of slang expressions, especially when the expression doesn't even have a consistent meaning. Jaque Hammer (talk) 14:03, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It actually appears to have two consistent meanings. --Pontificalibus (talk) 17:29, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How is this eligible for speedy deletion? --Pontificalibus (talk) 18:22, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Two words can be put together by anyone. How about "wiki monkey"? Borock (talk) 15:24, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What matters is whether the term has significnat coverage in reliable sources. --Pontificalibus (talk) 17:29, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I added sources for the second meaning. --Pontificalibus (talk) 17:29, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki to Wiktionary. Three sources don't obviate the fact that this is a dictionary-style definition. (And books or articles that define the term in the context of using it hardly seem to amount to significant coverage of the term.) Cnilep (talk) 10:15, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Borock, notability is the difference between declaring to everyone that you have a new nickname, and everyone giving you a nickname. Puerile as that distinction is, it is one of the pillars of WP, the somewhat exclusive social network that anyone can edit. Anarchangel (talk) 17:14, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki then delete -- article is simply a WP:DICTDEF of a minor slang phrase. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 04:49, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
