The result was Convert to Wiktionary soft redirect and protect. Consensus is clear that this has no place as an article, with even the keep !voters saying this is better off as a soft redirect. There is no opposition to a soft redirect, ample support for protection, and no desire to get rid of th page history Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:04, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No valid content from its beginnings, nor in any intermediate version that I can fathom, except to refer to Urban Slang. Therefore warrants deletion under WP:NOTURBANDICT. I am unable to revert recent edits to a sound version because non exists, as far as I can tell. Warrants a WP:SPEEDYDELETE, but appears to have failed a previous attempt.

• Delete per nom. Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. There has never been any encyclopedic content on this page, and since the subject is a slang adjective, it is doubtful that there could be any. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:32, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete - I wouldn't say it "failed" a speedy attempt but rather the tag was removed by a timely SPA. For that reason, a speedy still applies to me.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:56, 14 October 2017 (UTC) I amended my !vote as I did not consider the page could be protected following a redirect.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:20, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete and protect - Page is WP:NEO and should be protected due to persistent vandalism._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 02:17, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:NOTDIC and the documentation Template:Wiktionary Redirect, and protect. Probably not enough sources on the terminology to support a Wikipedia article, but it is a slang term for which there is a Wiktionary entry, so we should direct searchers there. We should protect it to prevent vandalism. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 02:25, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and protect as a Wiktionary redirect only. As a word, thicc fails WP:GNG and WP:WORDISSUBJECT by extension. The word appears often enough in popular culture to guarantee that people will come searching for it, but it belongs on Wiktionary, not here. Commander Spock (talk) 06:33, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep a redirect, as intended. I first created it as a Redirect to "Big Beautiful Woman". The term, "Thicc", was also used as a meme, which was reported in The Daily Dot, NY Mag, and SPIN. It's not enough sources for an article itself, but good enough for a redirect, especially if protected. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 16:27, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Other than One Thicc Bih, the term is used almost exclusively derogatorily. Delete and protecc. Wumbolo (talk) 18:37, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as per WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary, WP:NEO, WP:NOTURBANDICT. Should be salted given history. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 14:27, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I have no clue what this page is supposed to be other than trolling, by all means blast it to oblivion with whatever deletion tools you can find. Dysklyver 15:09, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• This article should be Kept, Protecc, but most importantly, be a redirecc to Wiktionary, per WP:NOTDICTIONARY. As noted above the current article has no meaningful encyclopedic content. ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 15:10, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Delete I would have tagged this as G1 if I saw it in the new pages feed. Having reread it multiple times and this AfD multiple times I have no idea if this article is about a person or a term, and the keep !votes here haven't done anything to help me understand what this subject is. This article is incomprehensible nonsense, and should be deleted as soon as possible. On the off-chance that this is a BLP (which on my fourth re-read I am not entirely sure it is not), then it is a BLP about an instagramer that makes negative comments without any sourcing, so delete it as a BLP violation. This is absolutely the worst article I have seen in my time on Wikipedia, and that includes the August 2007 Bellsprout article. TonyBallioni (talk) 22:19, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

actually, depending on who this Cat is, and if she's out or not, it may even be a cynical WP:Attack page. But who knows with this gibberish._pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 22:35, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did think of that as well, which is why I mentioned the BLP concerns. It could also be G2 as a test page, G3 as pure vandalism, G11, as an partial advert for Cat, A7 as nothing here makes Cat seem remotely significant. I won't tag for speedy deletion because it wouldn't be uncontroversial given the above comments, but this page meets several of the criteria IMO.

• Archive it somewhere and then delete speedy delete.-I have just now read the article and I am speechless. Wumbolo (talk) 05:32, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete and then Soft redirect to Wikitionary--Popular enough to merit a soft-redirect.Winged Blades of Godric^{On leave} 10:13, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect, either to Wiktionary or to another Wikipedia article such as Big Beautiful Woman. "Thicc" is an obvious search term, but it's hard to see how one could write an encyclopedia article about it. —Kodiologist (t) 14:42, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
