- I see no citations from durably archived in the entry that show the term being used in that sense. Perhaps if there were some.... DCDuring TALK 21:55, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- It's written in poor English which means I'm struggling to understand what definitions are intended. For example "To wait until it catches on" what is 'it' in this sentence? "To put off a plan for a long time" seems dubious. How is it used? "I didn't have everything I needed so I waited for a sale" (I didn't have everything I needed to I put off my plan for a long time)? A few answer might help. The 4th one looks like SoP because it involves waiting for a sale. Renard Migrant (talk) 18:55, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. It may be commonly used when referring to video games, but it is just literally "wait until the item is going for a reduced price (a sale)" - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 19:44, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
- Deleted according to the nomination. — SMUconlaw (talk) 18:26, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
