Winnipeg handshake[edit]
Neologism; only references are urbandictionary and everything2; only Google hits are blogs and forums. Fails verifiability and notability. Deprodded by creator with this explanation. Demiurge 16:37, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - This is a ridiculous entry. I have lived here for decades and done work in emergency departments, and never heard the term. There is no evidence that "all Canadians" know the term. I removed it from the Winnipeg article.Hwhitbread 04:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - it has already been Transwikied to Wiktionary, and this article doesn't really offer a lot more than a definition, so it can safely be deleted. Jayden54 16:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I lived in Winnipeg for 26 years (my fair share in some of the "shady bars" mentioned by the author), and the first time I heard of this term was when I saw its node on E2. I contend the assertion that "all Canadians" know of it. Fails WP:NEO and WP:V. Caknuck 22:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete if you want but keep in Wiktionary with a link in Wikipedia that points there. Most Canadians know what it means anyway. Anyway, this is urban vocabulary so urban dictionary and everything2 are good sources for that stuff. What's the matter of wanting to destroy pages? Terveetkadet
