• Delete Seems to originate with -inpublisher:icon&as_brr=0&source=gbs_navlinks_s The official dictionary of unofficial English, perhaps. Some of the exact text is all over the net, so may be copyvio, but it's hard to say who copied who. Anyway, it's WP:NEO and fails WP:NOTDIC (and WP:GNG).  Chzz  ►  04:31, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to spitting. I've heard the term ages back, it's not exactly a neologism, but wikipedia is not a dictionary and this could be covered perfectly well within the context of the spitting article. Simonm223 (talk) 21:06, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. While it's in the Urban Dictionary, it also is an antiquarian term for "jesting." --JohnnyB256 (talk) 00:55, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep. This is my first time coming across the article but it seems to add to the stock of human knowledge of the reader. Rather encyclopedic. And re the 'redirect to spitting idea'. Have you read the spitting article? Lead states: "act of forcibly ejecting saliva or other substances from the mouth.". 'Gleeking' is mostly involuntary, and why I cant back that up with a source, it is something that can't be done on demand without a fair practice. Spitting however, is rather easy.

• Delete There is already a word for Gleeking; It's called "Drooling". Cutno (talk) 21:35, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's something completely different personal attack removed. Tim Song (talk) 01:03, 25 September 2009 (UTC). IAmTheCoinMan (talk) 12:11, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
