[edit] VoleWare
Non-notable term that fails the WP:NEO criteria. Only 558 Google results [1].--TBCTaLk?!? 21:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom. Circulation of phrase far too small. Bwithh 21:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom. Dionyseus 21:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - this is a jargon highly used amongst the huge The Inquirer readers community worldwide and open-source/GPL enthusiasts. In addition it's easily observed in internet talkings and forums specially to satirize Microsoft products. Also see [2] and [3] 201.31.11.62 18:47, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, note that the above anon IP has only 5 edits, all of which have been on the Everywhere Girl and VoleWare AfD nominations. Also you do realize that Answers.com is a mirror site of Wikipedia (meaning all of Wikipedia's articles, regardless of notability, are also on Answers.com)?--TBCTaLk?!? 19:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment yes I'm an INQ reader, which explains that pattern. But I don't know how it could invalidate my opinion and how your research contributes with this matter. 201.31.11.62 14:05, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, I suggest reading this policy.--TBCTaLk?!? 01:09, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

- Delete as per TBC, this falls below the threshhold of WP:NEO and is essentially a dictionary definition with little to no expansion potential.--Isotope23 20:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom. FullSmash26 02:45, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Merge & Redirect to The Inquirer, as it seems to be a term often but only used there. Ace of Risk 16:11, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as it is listed at [4] and [5] and [6] Davebarnes davebarnes
- Comment- Urbandictionary is not a reliable source, as it indiscriminately takes submissions. --ForbiddenWord 14:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, this is a non-notable neologism. --ForbiddenWord 14:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep This is purely a afd proposal from Dionyseus who seems to be proposing anything related to the online tech tabloid theinquirer[7]
- Delete, neologism used by only one site. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:20, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
- UPDATE The Inquire has posted an article that contains letters from its fans, one of the letters alerts The Inquirer fans that Wikipedia is trying to delete the VoleWare article, and furthermore the letter makes a suggestion to The Inquirer to spread the word so that fans can protect those articles.

- Comment And what exactly is the problem with that? There seems to be the same collection of people here as were against the Everygirl entry. What exactly is the problem with Inquirer related entries? It's a few K of hard drive space on a server. It's not fake, it's a phrase, used by some people (number irrelevant). There are entries in here for really very minor local government/council officials who would probably be only recognised by their own mothers! (And yes there is only one edit for this IP (Depending on ISP IP allocation), that's because I choose not to log in. Reason: I don't want your mad gang of AFD proposers visiting entries I regularly maintain). 81.152.246.243 21:51, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. I suggest you read the WP:NEO and WP:WINAD guidelines. Also, remember that Wikipedia is (and always has been) an encyclopedia, not an urban dictionary, thus we can't have an article on every single "not fake" phrases ever created.--TBCTaLk?!? 22:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. Then why not propose a Move to Wiktionary instead of AFD? 81.179.86.50 15:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
