[edit] Beast (state of being)

Beast (state of being) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article appears to be entirely original research. I've heard "beast" used colloquially to mean that someone is very good at something, but that's not enough to substantiate an article. I could not find a dictionary definition for this meaning and, in any case, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The article would need to do more than define "beast". It would need reliable sources to establish this usage, and it does not. Leebo T/C 13:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete The proper approach would perhaps be to tag it with {{notability}} and see if it gets expanded, but I'm going to vote delete as it would never work anyway Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 13:37, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I prodded this article because it reeked of original research. It wasn't verifiable, nor sourced. There are also issues with WP:NEO and the article doesn't exert its notability. -Andrew c [talk] 13:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Does seem to violate WP:OR, WP:NEO, WP:ISNOT, and WP:N. Best case scenario would be to condense and transwiki to Wiktionary as a slang alternate definition. Saturn 5 14:26, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete While I do love using this term- in fact, I'd go so far as to say it's a beastly word- it's an NN neologism. -- Kicking222 02:09, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
