Onecer[edit]

If this isn't a complete hoax (and I think it is), the so-called idioms are archaic and obsolete. Deb 17:00, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Interestingly, I know one idiom for onecer - English slang for a pound note - which is obsolete by virtue of England not generally having circulating pound notes these days. What a handy coincidence that it contains a link to oncer.net, a commercial site... Author has two other edits, one to Andy Freedman which looks ripe for deletion, and to October 28 to add... why, to add a link to onecer.net... by Andy Freedman... (and if he's a Regius Professor, the web is sure quiet about it) Shimgray 17:39, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Comment: Did anyone else think of the Once-ler when they saw this? Maybe a spelling redirect? - RedWordSmith 18:11, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Once-ler was exactly what I first thought of too. Perhaps a spelling redirect would be a good choice, however, I am hesitant in some of these cases, as a redirect seems to implictly give credence to such things as a legitmate spelling, when it is not. -R. fiend 18:26, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Spam/joke. I thought of "oncet," as in the idiolectical representation of hillspar dialect: "I done it oncet." Geogre 20:00, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete and note that the original poster has already oncet removed a delete template today from the page (for speedy), so it might be worth keeping {informal} Eye on, Watching or minding (a person or thing) while doing something else; part of your attention on. - Used after "have", "keep", or "with". KEEP AN EYE ON that the VfD template stays on the page.--[[User:Bishonen|Bishonen (talk)]] 03:54, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Delete obvious disguised link spam - it was me that added the speedy, but I couldn't be bothered following up when he or she deleted it. BTW dictionary websites have no hits for that supposed word - Drstuey 10:08, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
