[edit] Carebear

This article is original research, and it doesn't have any sources. Whispering^(talk/c) 16:40, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, it's a real term, but I've never seen an actual article or column on the term for this one to cite, and it'd be pretty much a dicdef anyway. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 16:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete While wildly popular term on the World of Warcraft and Eve Online discussion forums (the two MMORPGs I used to play), Night Gyr is right: This smacks of WP:OR and WP:V. --Brian ^{(How am I doing?)} 17:43, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --Gray Porpoise 18:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Player versus player, I think. Powers ^T 19:15, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Also useless to anyone who doesn't already know what it's talking about. Example: "The real start of this came when the Chesapeake group were being attacked and griefed by a PK guild, KOC..." Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete crufty per nom and as per WP:NOR and WP:NN ST47 21:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable term used only by a small group. Wikipedia is not urbandictionary -Elmer Clark 00:27, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Unbelievably, no one has voted a redirect to Care Bears, so let me be the first to. Danny Lilithborne 01:58, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete dicdef is valid (but belongs in dictionaries, not here), most of the rest is cruft.
• Comment. If this article is deleted, then add a redirect to Care Bears, since "Carebear" is probably a common misspelling of "Care Bear". —Psychonaut 13:21, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I'm not sure why this has to go through AfD though. Could have been boldly merged and redirected. In any case, OR-cruft that needs to disappear. 82.231.209.148 18:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, redirect and merge/transwiki - has to be my biggest vote-line yet, but it's needed. Psychonaut gives us the precident for delete and redirect, as the more notable article with this name is Care bears, clearly. This is an oft-enough used term, and major MMO websites such as Stratics should be able to provide references for the merge into PvP and related articles. Finally, the docdef part belongs in wiktionary, obviously. Whilst we could create Carebear (pvp), this would be inappropriate, as I am not aware of major discussions over the implications of this term, the social impact, etc, that we would need for a seperate article.

• Delete per nom, and add redirect per Psychonaut Percy Snoodle 11:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
