Was speedied, then turned into a redirect (which is probably what it should be), but the redirect kept getting reverted. Now de-prodded without rationale. Non-notable. At best a possible addition to Wiktionary. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 19:14, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per WP:N. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 20:35, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Dictionary definition of slang term, not a notable concept, inadequately sourced. No potential for a useful article. Jellyman (talk) 21:28, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: While clearly a term in common use in Glasgow and beyond, there isn't the substance of an encyclopaedic article here. Attempts to leave this entry as a redirect haven't worked. WP:NAD applies and there is already a wiktionary entry for this term, so transwiki wouldn't work either. Drchriswilliams (talk) 21:47, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nicely summarised by User:Jellyman above. A poorly sourced article, hanging a lot on a brief mention relating to a former Hibs manager, and I too am not seeing a basis for a sustainable article. Already sufficiently covered in a line at List_of_British_regional_nicknames#E_-_G. AllyD (talk) 21:51, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as dictionary entry. TimothyJosephWood 13:40, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Delete This is not a notable, encyclopaedic topic. It merits at most a dictionary entry. Mcewan (talk) 08:39, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Hard to believe this is up for deletion, Article needs some work, but by its nature is encyclopedic content. 73.229.6.222 (talk) 03:50, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is at best a dictionary entry rather than a topic for an encyclopedia and notability has not been shown. Dunarc (talk) 16:37, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
