Dicdef. Transwiki or delete. UtherSRG (talk) 10:36, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per WP:NOTDICT and WP:ESSAY. Not even sure it's dictionary material, more like a figure of speech, with a variety of uses. Yakushima (talk) 15:46, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Whatever this is, it isn't sourced. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:04, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per all the above. WuhWuzDat 18:35, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep has anyone heard of WP:BEFORE? "Urban nomad" certainly appears to be a label applied to people in some way: e.g.

Appleby, L; Slagg, N; Desai, PN (1982). "The urban nomad: a psychiatric problem?". Current psychiatric therapies. 21: 253–62. PMID 7160213.

These certainly aren't what the article is about and I can't access the first two sources, but with a little work, I'm sure we could write something about this. SmartSE (talk) 23:49, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
