Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Junkies Lingo

The Junkies Lingo

Page is a list of definitions for slang used on a radio show. The primary issue is that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, but there are also issues of notability and verifiability. Chunky Rice 19:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Honestly, as the page creator I really don't care what happens here one way or the other. The only reason I created it is because it was overcoming The Junkies article. The only defense that I can see for this article is that a new listener would have a great deal of difficulty understanding what these guys are talking about and may find this article helpful.

Delete Probably a worthy cause, but this isn't the place for it. - Richfife 19:52, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. See this Google News Archive for reliable sources such as the Washington Times saying "the Junkies are known for their wacky lingo", a Washington Post interview in which the Junkies talk about their lingo, and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune mentioning that the website "(www.junkiesradio.com) also has a glossary of Junkies' lingo". Although the website no longer seems to have that page, there is an archive of it (note that, due to problems in the archiving process, the text appears invisible unless you select it). I've never listened to their show, but I can see how this list can be informative to someone researching it. And while Wikipedia is not a dictionary, we certainly do have glossaries of terms of specialized use. DHowell 00:42, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've added a few references to the article. DHowell 01:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This entry is definitely helpful and since the show replies heavily on wikipedia this would seem the appropriate avenue for the definition and more encyclopedia like entries explaining the terminology.-Mike {{unsigned|76.111.66.130} This template must be substituted.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The proper response to trivia overwhelming an article is to delete the trivia, not dump it into a separate article. Otto4711 13:37, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
