[edit] Atchy

The article was nominated for speedy deletion, but no speedy deletion criteria apply. The article is not patent nonsense, because it is comprehensible. The article is, however, a dictionary article placed in the wrong project. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. It is not a candidate for transwikification because, in fact, there is no such word. As such, there's no scope for an encyclopaedia article by this title. The article appears to be an attempt to mis-use Wikipedia as a vehicle for promoting a protologism. Wikipedia is not a soapbox.

  • Delete - made up -- Whpq 15:29, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I believe IAR applies here, and this could have been speedied. It's obviously a made-up, non-notable, and non-encyclopedic article, and sending it to AfD is a waste of time when the outcome is obvious. However I understand that this is a grey area and not everyone will agree with me, so I have simply voted to delete. Cheers. --Fang Aili talk 15:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: this word is a commonly used word and is a portmanteau. If "Galumphing" deserves a page, then atchy does. I did NOT make this page to waste the time of others but as a reference. - User:Cooper3456173
    Please provide sources that this word is "commonly used". --Fang Aili talk 18:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
    Comment - actually, there is no article for "Galumphing". The page is simply a placeholder to direct the reader to Wikitionary. -- Whpq 20:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

It is a commonly used in a childs mind. The article was intended as a reference to a childs way of thinking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooper3456173 (talk • contribs)
