This article is mostly original research and is based on the writings of a single author named "Robert Baumgardner", an author who has written about the use of English in Pakistan. He is not a notable authority on the subject. Most of the article is unreferenced, with multiple misrepresentations. The section on "Further reading" appears to have been concocted to suit the requirements of the authors. Another author featured in the further reading section of this article is Ahmar Mahboob (who coincidentally has an article on Wikipedia) but is not notable as per WP:PROF. Upon further examination of the references in the article, I observe:
Much of the article is concocted, unreferenced, and there is no credible proof for the existence of this English dialect in mainstream, academic sources. Parts of the article have been directly lifted from the article on Indian English.
I recommend deletion and redirect to Indian English. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 12:27, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You can always find one or two books that use the expression "Pakistani English," however, that doesn't mean that there is consensus among scholars that such a dialect (i.e. distinctive one) of standard English exists. There isn't even much of a controversy about the issue that we can report. It is more the case that "Pakistani English" has as yet not made it into the various corpora of English that are used in linguistics and descriptive grammars. The Oxford English Corpus, for example, includes only India (among South Asian countries) (see "full picture" section) and only Indian English among different (South Asian) standard dialects of Global English. If you want to claim that Pakistani English is a "highly differentiated local dialect of Indian standard English," then you'll have to produce sources that say that. It is more likely though that "Punjabi English" or "Sindhi English" might constitute such local dialects. Producing examples of English authors who are citizens of Pakistan is not enough because they don't write in the local dialect of English. As I've said above, perhaps Pakistani English might someday become an independent dialect or subdialect, but it hasn't yet. We can't, therefore, pretend that it does.

Non-notable school song of an individual school in the Philippines. While there was an WP:OTRS request filed to cover off the copyright issue in reprinting the song's lyrics, this article still lacks any information to suggest that the song is actually notable enough to warrant an encyclopedia article. The article's only "reference" is the school's own webpage, which is a primary source and thereby fails our reliable sourcing rules — as always, the topic is not automatically entitled to an article just because it exists, if that article cannot demonstrate why the topic is notable enough to belong in an encyclopedia.

This article fails to meet notability guidelines for biographies. It contains no reliable sources or in-line citations. The sources provided are either irrelevant or make no mention of the subject. Searching Google Books came back with no reliable sources (one hit- a book that is a collection of Wikipedia articles). Google News archive search came back with three articles, none from reliable sources, and all of which cite the Wikipedia page as their source of information. Original author requested the article be taken down multiple times to allow time to “fact-check” and “confirm its complete accuracy,” however it remained with no additional reliable sources being added. Numerous other editors have asserted that this person is fictional. Robfrederick (talk) 19:32, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The user has fails WP:N with respect the concept of "wargasm" because the concept is extremely obscure and is already covered by war. The word itself is an extremely obscure (and not even slightly witty) portmanteau neologism, which has a grand total of 4 recorded uses, apparently used by the users in different ways, and certainly not jargon. There is apparently (and I leave room to stand corrected by someone more knowledgeable) no evidence of the discussion of the actual word itself which would merit an encyclopedic article. A Google search for "wargasm" shows up more discussion of a video game, and the opening track of some random album Bricks Are Heavy.

I did not write the article on "wargasm" to add it is a dictionary term. However, its closeness to the word "orgasm" (which has an extensive Wikipedia entry), together with its usage in public debates in the 1960s and 1970s by public figures of great importance, i.e. Norman Mailer and Dean Rusk, merit its inclusion in Wikipedia. Also, the prospect of an abrupt and potentially devastating nuclear war, is just as threatening as it was in the 20th century, although the Cold War has ended. I believe that "wargasm" is pertinent in linking current political and literary debate to what was said when the word was first introduced by Rusk. Wargasm=the abrupt outbreak of warfare is something which readers should have the privilege of appreciating. Has Wikipedia become so shallow as to only include "Wargasm" as a video game article? Does a pertinent article get deleted merely because it does not technically satisfy the requirements of a rule?Robert (talk) 18:34, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is a Google search the extent of your research? If so, then it's no wonder you are looking for things to delete on Wikipedia instead of being creative enough to add to its content. Would you at least be kind enough to identify who you are, with some description of yourself, rather than raiding people's efforts in anonymity. Your username is certainly not one conducive to intelligent thinking. What assumption did you employ to state that the word wargasm has been used a grand total of four times?Robert (talk) 20:17, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The comparison to orgasm is a valid one, especially among wordsmiths like Mailer and Goodman. The likeness comparison merely means volatile, explosive, and combustible, which is characteristic of both terms. There are many terms which bring to mind sexual terminology but have no real relationship to them. Once a UNC teacher said that she was careful to pronounce organism distinctly because it was once misinterpreted by a student. The references which I retrieved the word from are each valid, solid refs., i.e. not spurious. The word was has been employed by very noteworthy individuals in both the literary and political fields.Robert (talk) 22:08, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Google searches with additional terms, e.g. (wargasm "dean rusk"), (wargasm "norman mailer"), failed to turn up any evidence that any single meaning or closely related cluster of meanings or concepts attached to the word. While it occurs in any number of sources, there's no consistency of meaning. It's apparently been used for a massive launch-on-warning nuclear attack, for a 1969 event staged by the Weathermen, for group sex practiced by the W'men, for high-intensity tours of Civil War battlefields, for water-balloon fights between fraternities, and for any number of other things. I find no evidence that the specific meaning given in the WP article ever achieved significant penetration in popular or academic culture; as an obvious and mildly racy portmanteau, the word's been used in many different and only peripherally related ways, with no majority or strong plurality endorsing any of the meanings.

I do not have a copy of the article unfortunately. I write virtually all of my Wikipedia articles on what's past, lot of it the distant past, i.e. film stars, buildings, people, and events. I believe that as with the content I have contributed earlier, "wargasm" is important because of its use by men who contributed much to public debate in the 20th century. Certainly it was not used often, yet it is memorable that it was employed by Mailer and Rusk during a crucial era in the history of the United States. Insightful people will be able to reflect on this. For example the term "groovy" is used seldom if any these days. However, to understand more about the Charles Manson and Jeffrey MacDonald murders, it is helpful to have a resource which explains terminology like this, along with the context of its usage. The term groovy was discovered on the walls of both crime scenes. One can sit back and say that we should have an alternate source, a dictionary, etc., for this kind of thing. Yet even if published, it will not have anywhere near the circulation that Wikipedia does. So what you have are high school and college students who see these expressions and need to go to an older person, their parents, instead of being able to find its meaning right in front of them. Wikipedia should make allowances, broaden its range of inclusion.Robert (talk) 16:53, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While working with Wikipedia with a psychology lab on campus, it was pointed out to me that "properception" isn't actually a psychology/psychiatry term. The closest term is proprioception, which has its own article. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 00:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
