Scorp[edit]

The information here seems dubious at best. Even if it was verifiable, though, it is little more than a dictionary definition. The "translation" of Hamlet's soliloquy is a nice touch, but original research at best. Note also that the only incoming link is from Gobots due to one of the toys in that line having the same name.

Delete; this is unverifiable. One would think that someone, somewhere, would have found this word out from a "connoiseur of sherbet" and had *something* up on the web about it... but they don't. If someone finds sources, I'd be happy to reconsider. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:54, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's a hoax article. The text of the 1909 supplement to the Century Dictionary is conveniently available on the WWW, and one can see that there is no such word listed on page 1183. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 01:42, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, didn't realize that dictionary was available online. Good find. Since this is now an obvious hoax, would you think a speedy under G3 (pure vandalism, including obvious hoaxes) would be in order? Powers ^T 20:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per rationale above. Keeper | 76 22:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
