Nonsense / trivial spoof dictionary definition. I'd nominate it for speedy deletion if I could find the right category. --Biker Biker (talk) 06:16, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, obviously made up at school one day. Urban Dictionary is not a reliable source. JIP | Talk 06:32, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Per above, made up one day and without any reliable sourcing. DiiCinta (talk) 12:21, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, blinner has 10,800 results in google search. It's obviously a word that is becoming more popularized and a cultural phenomenon that needs to be addressed in Wikipedia. blinner is a word that I've heard for several years (at least since 2005). I completely disagree with user Biker Biker that it is 'nonsense' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.166.144.129 (talk) 13:07, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: As if it weren't obvious already, the above user has only edited Wikipedia to promote "blinner". JIP | Talk 19:21, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable neologism. Edward321 (talk) 13:47, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Similar to any wikipedia article this is a work in progress and it's an interesting article. Many portmanteaus are not found in a dictionary but they are commonly used in popular culture. Blinner is such a portmanteau and needs to be addressed in Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FoodloverinLA (talk • contribs) 00:14, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: The above user User:FoodloverinLA falsely signed his comment as User:JE, who last edited Wikipedia on 23 May 2010. I don't think masquerading as other users is respectable behaviour on Wikipedia. JIP | Talk 05:05, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, A language is dynamic- constantly changing and people are constantly constructing words to describe new experiences and new phenomenon--Mike —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blinner (talk • contribs) 00:22, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Both of these two users have only edited the article Blinner and this AfD discussion. JIP | Talk 05:01, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment: It looks to me as if foodloverinla, blinner and 76.166.144.129 are actually the same person. I can either instigate a formal sockpuppetry investigation or and admin can use a dose of common sense and just delete this article. --Biker Biker (talk) 06:36, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
