Hagerk

<sarcasm>Human creativity warms my little heart. I mean imagine someone making up a word, then taking the time to define it and put it on the Wikipedia. And then they take the time to write a pronunciation guide, and use it in a sentence. I don't know why anyone would want to delete it.</sarcasm> Oh wait, yes I do: It's a hoax and vandalism and it's a good thing I read it before transwikiing it (as it had been tagged by two separate editors). Delete it quickly and ruthlessly. --Dmcdevit 21:48, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. That's the sneakiest hoax I've seen yet, though. Scimitar 22:34, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Personally I would assume good faith and call it a protologism rather than vandalism, and tell them to put it on wiktionary's wikt:List of protologisms. Kappa 00:47, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Sure seems like a prank to me. Or should I say that the "user fabstuntittied the article" and have that go into a list somewhere too? Geogre 02:08, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• If you want fabstuntitty to be a word, feel free to list it there. Kappa 02:22, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
  • It's an interesting point I hadn't considered, but we should never transwiki a protologism. Once it goes to the transwiki namespace, a careless Wiktionarian might put it into a real article. That list is is for interested users, and there's no use preserving an article for it. --Dmcdevit 06:48, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
    • I'm not suggesting we transwiki it, but wiktionary has a place for protologisms if the user wants to add it themselves. Kappa 06:54, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, neologism. Megan1967 06:37, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
