Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peon (slang)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. The 'figurative' use of the term already exists on Wiktionary. The 'South Asian English' and 'Shanghai' variants are unsourced, thus not eligible for transwiki; the 'computing slang' gloss might be legit, but the source provided ... I don't think that's definitive or reliable in the Wikipedia-sense (I could be wrong), so same no-transwiki argument applies. Deleting here doesn't impact creation possibilities over at Wiktionary. In regard to the 'but it's REAL' comment, not every real thing is represented in Wikipedia, for better or worse.‎. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:35, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary redirect: Reads like a dictionary definition and I don't think it is a bad idea to redirect to the relevant Wiktionary entry. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 19:30, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The (slang) disambiguator suggests that this is intended as dictionary-type content. Usage of the word peon in various times and places is discussed at Peon, making this article unnecessary. I also don't see evidence that an article is likely to be recreated at this title, as described at WP:ATD-TRANS. Cnilep (talk) 04:41, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
