Violates WP:NAD, because it is a guide to a slang word. Ships at a Distance (talk) 21:26, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Also, the spread of this word beyond some high school students has yet to be demonstratod. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:34, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This word cannot be deleted on the premise that there really is no other way to accommodate the rise of a term that has spawned from a reliable source and whose existence can be proved on the basis of several true sources.

Keep: An encyclopedia should not be limited to events, people, and locations, it needs to all-inclusive so that anyone who needs to refer to the information has a source on that information and learn about everything there is to know. Additionally the article is not a dictionary term, but a description of a word that includes everything from its birth to its significance, the same format as that of a biography of a human being.

Delete looks like something that was made up one day by a group of friends in school. Wildthing61476 (talk) 22:13, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete According to http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bober it means three totally different things than this article suggests. To me, this is a student trying for his 15 minutes fame. Peridon (talk) 22:14, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nothing to prove that this isn't some random term without notability and without significance. Nyttend (talk) 22:23, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete and borderline speedy (G3) per WP:NFT and WP:HOAX. MuZemike (talk) 22:38, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Appears to be WP:HOAX, a search finds no reference of the term outside of WP. Even if there was such a word, it would fail WP:NEO. — CactusWriter | ^needles 22:55, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Snowball delete and FYI I deleted the "Origin of the Word" section because it purported to mention two non-notable high-school students by name and therefore I felt it has WP:BLP issues. --Jaysweet (talk) 22:58, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I like to give the benefit of the doubt but I couldn't find any sort of reliable source for this. --Banime (talk) 23:37, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per most everybody. Edward321 (talk) 00:38, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
