Per WP:NOTDICTIONARY. Solitary reference to the Urban Dictionary is a better nomination statement than I could ever make. Basalisk inspect damage⁄berate 17:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Basalisk, you are nominating my article for deletion, based solely on the fact that you don't like my citation? Wouldn't the more prudent approach allow the article to remain and evolve through the usual wiki way? My citation isn't good enough, that's fine. Find some other citation that is better. Do you not accept the fact that fashionista is a term in common parlance? If we deleted every article because they start out weak, or as stubs, wikipedia would be a very small encyclopedia indeed. I added the term because I found that most people who use it, are unconscious of the fact that the term is derived from a reference to an authoritarian socialist party from Central America. I thought a bit of history might be illuminating. While it is true that Wikipedia is "not a dictionary," there are terms and phrases that have articles in them because the simple definition is not sufficient. Perhaps this is the case here, but perhaps expansion is warranted. Surely we wouldn't erase the article on "Cool (aesthetic)" simple because it describes a common phrase? I'm curious to know your thoughts. -Fogelmatrix (talk) 18:42, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to miss my point. I am merely stating that while an article is in it's infancy, it may not be up to scratch. Instead of marking it for deletion a minute after it's created, why not mark it for expansion? Label it a stub, instead of putting on the chopping block. The whole point of Wikipedia is that any one person may start an article, and another may expand upon it. If this article is too close to a dictionary definition, then wait for someone (it might even be me) to expand upon the subject. You don't have to expand the article, but someone might. If the article is no more than a dictionary definition a year from now, then by all means, delete it. Move it to wiktionary. But give it a chance to grow at least. -Fogelmatrix (talk) 20:35, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
