This article is a dictionary definition, and I can't think of a way that it could be expanded beyond one. The reference to Lanky Kong isn't sufficient for a Wikipedia entry. ~MDD 46 96 22:28, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as dicdef. And the word 'lanky' has been around a lot longer than the 1999 origin suggested in the article. --BillC 22:38, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as dicdef spreading ignorance; the Oxford English Dictionary has citations for this meaning of lanky dating back to 1818. --Metropolitan90 03:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Save with a bit of editting it can be fine! it is supposed to give deeper insite as too the use of the word lanky in slang terms. Other words have a page like this, i fail to see why this one cant. adon 08:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

delete does this belong here at all? I would say OK, if it were only a dictionary, but no to the encyclopedia. Seems like it is a joke trying to be passed off by a group of anon. friends.Vegalo 12:05, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Dictionary Defination - and certainly it had nothing to do with Nintendo - I used to be lanky when I was at school and that was certainly before the N64, in fact it was before the SNES or the NES. This is only my second edit on wikipedia, although I've lurked for a while - I know that this is taken into consideration in AfD discussions and thought I should bring it up.
