Shmay[edit]

Contested prod. Article about a colloquialism, with an example of usage which does not qualify as an assertion of notability. In contesting the prod, the author simply stated that she wrote the entire article by herself. Delete. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 16:46, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that this page gives the user what they need to know about city slang and adds energy also and this will make people laugh and want to read wikipedia for all the right reasons :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gemeraldd (talk • contribs) [copied from article talk page to here, where it was probably meant to be.

Delete. Wikipedia is not the Urban Dictionary - we don't take dictionary definitions. Furthermore I have not been able to find evidence of use that would meet Wiktionary's Criteria for inclusion so a transwiki is not appropriate. Note that Google results tell me that "Shmay" is a surname, and part of the Yiddish(?) set-phrase "Y'hay shmay rabbo m'vorach" which apparently translates as "May God's name be great" but these are nothing to do with the colloquialism defined here.

Delete. WP:NEO, WP:NFT......I don;t think even Urban Dictionary would touch this one. I absolutely believe she wrote it all by herself though. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:33, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - interestingly not the first time for this article either, I deleted it about three years ago.Manning (talk) 15:44, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- 2½ years ago to be precise - "04:29, 13 January 2007 Manning Bartlett (talk | contribs | block) deleted "Shmay" ‎ (G1 - haha, I'm smiling as I press delete :))" however in that case the article was about a slang word from New England, rather than Liverpool so it is not a G4 speedy.
