WP:NEO issues, and wikipedia is not a dictionary Pharmboy (talk) 19:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or WP:USERFY: delete based on WP:NEO with no real usage outside the single incident mentioned; or WP:USERFY since it's an little personal essay with no real meaning beyond wikipedia culture. Yngvarr 19:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete. I second Yngvarrr's opinion, but we could be it an essay or something as well. WP:Take a wikinap or whatnot. Two One Six Five Five discuss my greatness 19:21, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep I've seen it used before, but this is simply the first time it's been codified. An essay on the same subject would also be appropriate if not kept. — BQZip01 — talk 19:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- 2cents I am wondering if we are being a bit lenient with the term because we are wikipedians, perhaps? Not used to seeing NEO candidates handles so gingerly. Pharmboy (talk) 19:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment For me, I don't think that's the case. There are many essays in the Category:Wikipedia essays which probably started as a germ of an idea, written in userspace. I'm not endorsing this be cat'ed into the WP namespace, just rather userfy it. I was going to say it's "cute", but I figured that the word "cute" might be taken condescendingly. I'm just offering an alternate opinion, and having it in userspace is quite different than having it in WPspace. Yngvarr 19:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- 3c I understand putting it in userspace, and have no issue with that. I was just noticing that we editors are less likely to jump up and quickly label it NEO or simply vote delete when it is Wikipedia related. I am not saying I am immune either, it was just an observation. Pharmboy (talk) 19:51, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as self-referential neologism with no references. If someone wants to move it to userspace as an essay, that's fine, but it's not encyclopedic at all. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- USERFY if creator wants it, otherwiseDelete per WP:NEO Hobit (talk) 21:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. and Tony Fox. JohnCD (talk) 22:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Userfy Not notable enough to be on mainspace. I think I'll go get one now :)--Lenticel (talk) 23:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and Userfy. Per all above. Malinaccier (talk) 00:34, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Snowball delete. Keep this sort of stuff out of the mainspace.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 00:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to Wikipedia:Wikinap, or merge into Wikipedia:Wikibreak. - Koweja (talk) 04:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... my page, looks like delete -- fine by me.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
