Request for deletion: Since when exactly did Wikipedia become UrbanDictionary? This is apparently a neologism coined here, as it was posted only a few years ago. It is not accompanied by any examples of use, any sources or citations that show it has ever been used; in fact, the page is almost completely devoid of information. How is this Wikipedia quality? It really does look like something you'd read on UD. Or should we just make a page for every country congruent with this? Are we allowed to just start making up words on Wiktionary now?...

- The word appears to be properly cited, so what justifies deleting it anyway? Also, you may have better luck getting answers if you submit your request to WT:RFDE. —Rua (mew) 12:42, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
@Rua Please allow autopatrollers to edit the entry so I can remove the RFD template, or remove the RFD template yourself. I see no reason to waste our time because JoKony hasn't read WT:CFI. Chignon – Пучок 16:40, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
- WT:CFI applies to WT:RFV. But WT:RFD exists for any other reasons not tied to citability, that someone might not want an entry to exist. That's why WT:RFV is not a vote but WT:RFD is. —Rua (mew) 16:44, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, but it's obvious that the entry is going to be kept; I see absolutely no ground for deletion here. Chignon – Пучок 16:52, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
- Deletion doesn't need a ground. If enough people vote to delete it, it has to be deleted. —Rua (mew) 16:56, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

This discussion is no longer live and is left here as an archive. Please do not modify this conversation, but feel free to discuss its conclusions.
This was submitted by User:JoKony, who was trying to get the page speedied without any discussion. Since they were unwilling to use RFD instead, I've submitted it here for them. Note, the term is already cited. See also the talk page of the entry. —Rua (mew) 12:51, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
- Seems an obvious keep. SemperBlotto (talk) 12:53, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
- Keep from me as well. I see no reason to delete it if we have citations. Claims about the supposed descent of Wiktionary towards Urban Dictionary are rather exaggerated. —Rua (mew) 13:49, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
- The entry originally stemmed from a request. JoKony probably dislikes the term. DonnanZ (talk) 13:52, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. There are three citations. Equinox ◑ 16:21, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
Speedily kept. Chignon – Пучок 16:38, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
Let's be fair; it's in use bad or good, keep it but do it for all countries including anarchotard = anarchist and anarchotardy = anarchism (non-belief in countries)
editOk. We shouldn't delete what is used. On the other hand we should be fair Talibotard, Talibanotard
