Sage (internet)[edit]

Not being an avid forum user I've never heard of this. Which lends me to think that its not notable considering most of the google hits are unrelated. --Pboyd04 03:11, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Saging is a popular slang on forums using Futaba software. Dwayne Kirkwood 04:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This isn't notable anywhere except on said imageboards. Perhaps add a mention of it to some other article, but it doesn't deserve its own. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 05:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as dicdef at best. Also per Core des at talk. o.o;;, not notable anywhere else except on some imageboards. Tychocat 07:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki to somewhere it might be useful, and delete-- unsourced. (I am the article creator.) Ashibaka tock 22:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It may niche in the Western world (i.e. 4chan), but to 10,000,000 daily Japanese users on 2chan, surely it's notable. Remember, just because you've never heard of it, doesn't mean it's not worth keeping. --SevereTireDamage 23:07, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I meant to link to 2channel, not Futaba Channel. 2channel is the phenomenally popular non-image board, and that article is sourced. Many voters here seem to think the term is exclusive to imageboards, but it is not.--SevereTireDamage 22:46, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Whpq and Dlyons493. NN boardcruft. --Dhartung | Talk 07:08, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - it seems to be an important concept in a fairly-widespread type of image board. (Not too sure about use on Internet forums, though - there's 2ch, but I have no idea how widespread it is on Japanese forums otherwise, and it's certainly not common in the English-language web). Not a dicdef either as it stands. Finding suitable references could be fun, though - probably not much interest in imageboard culture amongst suitable sources...
Weak delete Not really a dictdef as the concept is discussed, but not really a proper article. No real obvious single merge target and nowhere to transwiki. Kotepho 17:17, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep; WP:JOWETT is not policy yet. That said, I'd rather like to see sources for the claim that it's used by trolls. In the system I'm familiar with, trolls are the ones who don't sage their responses as appropriate... — Haeleth Talk 21:01, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Futaba Channel or other appropriate Imageboard-related article, give it's only notable among users of such sites. --NeoChaosX 22:24, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable dicdef +/- neologism. Ifnord 00:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
