Frorange[edit]
Yet another dicdef. for made up word. Delete. jni 15:44, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. This looks like an attempt to get a recently involved neologism into actual use. Now spreading neologisms is all well and good, but Wikipedia is not the place to do it. — JIP | Talk 16:30, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- How many people are going to have the "I know! I'll make up a word that rhymes with orange and put it in the dictionary!" idea without reading orange first and realizing that it has been done to death? And without realizing the difference between the encyclopaedia and the dictionary? Wouldn't it be nice if, for once, they were original and made up a word that rhymed with chimney, pint, or purple? My vote is the same as it was at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Borange. Uncle G 19:14, 2005 Mar 6 (UTC)
- Speedy delete orphan silly junk -- Infrogmation 22:16, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, not notable neologism, dictionary definition. Megan1967 04:54, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, admitted neologism, silly, even less likely than Quorange to ever even merit a dictdef. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:27, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. For the record, this article has been deleted twice before already according to the Deletion log. -- Brhaspati (talkcontribs) 03:48, 2005 Mar 9 (UTC)
- True, but those were speedy deletes. It's not uncommon for an article to be VfD'ed after it's speedied and re-created; that way the result is decided by consensus and if it's still to delete, the article submitter can be warned that further re-creations will lead to a block or ban. -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:24, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
