Non notable dicdef/ promotion of non-notable band. Wikipedia is not a dictionary WP:NOT and certainly not an urban dictionary, and it is not a place to promote non-notable bands. OfficeGirl 00:22, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Urban Dictionary is not a reliable source. I have never heard the term and it only manages a couple of relavant hits on Google. I think it is just an excuse to plug the band of the same name who are probably not notable either. --DanielRigal 00:49, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete, urban dictionary is not a reliable source, and even if a reliable source were found, this would not warrant an article, but an inclusion in List of Internet slang phrases. Just as a side note though, no policy states sites such as urban dictionary are not reliable sources (WP:RS is not a policy). The closest you can get as far as I can see is WP:SPS: For that reason, self-published books, personal websites, and blogs are largely not acceptable as sources, urban dictionary doesn't fall into that category. However there are strict guidelines on Talk:List_of_Internet_slang_phrases/Archive2#List of reliable sources, and this article should 1. not exist (but be considered for the list instead), and 2. the content relating to the band should be speedy deleted (CSD G4, CSD A7).

• Delete Not only it is a non notable neologism, the creator of the article is User:Geeban. This suggests a conflict of interest related to the band mentioned in the article.--Alasdair 05:09, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable, wikipedia is not a dictionary. Hello32020 16:59, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
