Disputed PROD, reason was " A potentially pleasant embryo essay or dictionary definition, but there is nothing notable about it. However pleasant it may be it is not material for an encyclopaedia." Since the PROD the article has been expanded into a well referenced essay/Dicdef, but it is not notable and has no place here. Wiktionary maybe, Wikipedia, no Fiddle Faddle 22:15, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Article is under construction. Topic is notable, because I was able to find plenty of sources from different individual parties. Dictionaries would not be able to cover what Wikipedia can. --Mr. Guye (talk) 22:25, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That you can find sources does not guarantee it a place in Wikipedia. The existence of references is not the same as notability. We require notability first and foremost and then verification of that notability in reliable sources. Whether the article is under construction or not, this topic is not notable now and will not be notable when you have finished. This is a dicdef and an essay.

Merriam-Webster doesn't have it, yet I am sure they are aware of its existence. What does that tell you? Mr. Guye (talk) 22:43, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And how is this not notable? I am sure many people have heard of it anyways. Mr. Guye (talk) 22:44, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly which one does it allegedly fail? Mr. Guye (talk) 22:54, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Because I already read them and it passes them all.Mr. Guye (talk) 22:57, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Plus, even if it is just a dicdef, why can't the article exist for the concept? Mr. Guye (talk) 23:00, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
