- Boondocks (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Dictionary definition with uncontroversial etymology, sourced only to other dictionaries, no hope of expansion. Delete and move Boondocks (disambiguation) to this title. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 20:05, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - an article isn't necessary for a dictionary word. Henrymrx (t·c) 21:37, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - Agreed. Part definition, part alternative disambig page. And boondocks is not a geographical term...--Junius49 (talk) 22:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment A cursory Google search shows non-trivial coverage beyond dictionaries, with potential for the expansion of the article. I have added some of these references to the article; there are more. A little due diligence in future, please. Skomorokh 05:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep A concept, not a word. A significant one, with sources in the article and no problem gfinding more. Needs expansion, not deletion.DGG (talk) 07:08, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Agree with DGG. older ≠ wiser 03:12, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Unless this can be turned into an article about a 'thing', which it isn't at the moment, there's nothing here that shouldn't be in Wiktionary. It's a pure dicdef.--Michig (talk) 12:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per sources introduced by Skomorokh. Per DGG its a concept, a perceived condition of "rural-ness" and "yokel-ness" , not just a dicdef. FeydHuxtable (talk) 14:27, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Agree with DGG, it a concept not just a word. Dream Focus 03:09, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Article is sufficiently developed to be more than a dicdef. Artw (talk) 05:22, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support/Delete -- per WP:DICDEF DreamGuy (talk) 02:29, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
