The result was Redirect to Puerto Rican Spanish. Pascal.Tesson 00:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ay bendito

[edit]

Unreferenced--and possible original research--article on an expression unique to Puerto Rican Spanish. Seems inappropriate since this is the English Wikipedia after all. Wiktionary and/or the Spanish Wikipedia are probably more appropriate places for this article. --Miskwito 21:51, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; unsourced OR and dicdef. I had hoped that something could have been salvaged here, but, without sources, it's no better than a hoax. Heather 22:29, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I dont think en.wiki is the place for phrases from other languages unless its widespread use by english speakers is proven. Corpx 22:53, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge any info that can be useful into Puerto Rican Spanish, I can guarantee the phrase is not a hoax and deleting is not the way to solve everything. -凶 05:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately, we need more than your guarantee. Do you have a slang dictionary that lists the phrase? That might be a place to start, but still would give us little more than a dicdef. Some academic papers discussing the phrase would do well. Heather 23:36, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just browsing the web I found an article in El Vocero's webpage with a title involving sayd phrase, [1], there is also this article [2]. As a side note Yahoo! search has 78,200 hits for it. -凶 23:43, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as per above. Tony the Marine 05:40, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is not a dictionary and we must not engage in original research, proposal to merge is enticing, but Puerto Rican Spanish has very serious OR and verifiability issues itself, and merging would simply add more OR into it. I say "Ay bendito" every day, but this doesn't mean anything, as I am not a reliable source: please see Oh my God (specifically here [3]. Thanks! --Cerejota 03:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
