The result was Withdrawn; I'll delete the article, and maybe transwiki it to wiktionary if any better sources turn up in the future. · AndonicO Engage. 09:08, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Hand salsa (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Dicdef and partial how-to; sources include Urban Dictionary and other dictionary sites, as well as sources not really related to the term (more like how-tos on cleaning "hand salsa" off pianos and stuff).

- Comment. I somewhat expected an AFD; I realize it's a somewhat vague term, and one used only by (diehard) geeks. As for the "how-to"ish part, good point; I've removed the paragraph, and put the links in an external links section (while removing the piano ones completely, as it wasn't as relevant). · AndonicO Engage. 18:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- There still aren't any reliable sources; just a bunch of dictionaries, an interview which briefly mentions the term, and a review of a mouse. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 18:40, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- No, no reliable sources; only loads of forum posts and comments left in blogs. A few other (non forum/blog-comment) links are these: NetLingo, GamerHelp, Streettech, Dan's Data, Wired (probably the most reliable of the bunch). · AndonicO Engage. 19:07, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Always nervous of !voting "delete" on new articles, but it's simply an article about a slang term, and I don't see how it could possibly grow beyond that. Wikipedia is not a slang or idiom guide. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 21:44, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I beg to differ, however, perhaps you are right that it may be better to move this to wiktionary (and maybe redirect our article there). · AndonicO Engage. 23:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Not saying I think most of those ought to exist, either. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 00:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. While some of the sources are probably reasonable, the page is a mere dictionary definition, something which Wikipedia is not. I do, however, recommend a transwiki to Wiktionary first. This seems like just the sort of thing they are interested in. It would require only minor reformatting there. Rossami (talk) 18:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. What goes on in Urban Dictionary stays in Urban Dictionary. --MCB (talk) 08:01, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
