WP:NOT Wikipedia is not a dictionary A proposed deletion was requested. An AfD was recommended to discuss the phrase's relation to mea culpa. --Wolfer68 (talk) 00:11, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Not only does it attempt to make a dictionary definition, but it also engages in original research speculation. Unacceptable. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:45, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
• Weak Delete Even with the Shakespearean reference, it's all original research, particularly the speculation that it was "gangsta' talk" that "filtered into US campus slang" sometime in the 70s or 80s, or that the movie "Clueless" made it popular. It's not a bad idea for a topic, and as with many expressions, a scholarly search of its origin would be interesting. But this isn't it, and never will be. Mandsford (talk) 01:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment -- article is viewed about 25 times a day.
• Which may be good or bad... but probably not an argument in favor of keeping or deleting. Mandsford (talk) 12:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
• Transwiki any worthwile content to the Wiktionary article, then delete the Wikipedia article.--TBC!?! 14:30, 5 March 2008

• Delete, I found a few articles discussing the phrase but not much in the way of content other than the standard slang lament ("what kids are saying these days"). I think I'll add one of those sources to mea culpa, to which this should redirect. --Dhartung | Talk 21:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
