Dubious slang, doesn't cite sources. Delete. Catamorphism 09:12, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Not a verifiable description. Jtmichcock 13:34, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, as a neologism that's not in wide use. Puckle gets some google results, but none of them are close to the definition given here. - Bobet 14:25, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and Rewrite article. He's using the wrong definition. google gives me 514 relevant hits, and Urban Dictionary tells me it means "a penis that has cuts on it". I suggest rewriting article to reflect this. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 16:00, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- UrbanDictionary has as its avowed aim the publication of stuff that people made up from whole cloth; and, once again, counting Google hits is not research. If your Google search turned up a reliable source for information on this subject, please tell us what it is. Uncle G 20:34, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Urban Dictionary is NOT a valid rationale for keeping something, especially since anyone can sign up for an account there and define anything they want. Basically, using Urban Dictionary as a source is like trying to say your cousin Joe Bob came up with the term so that makes it worth including :P Nezu Chiza 19:02, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Wikipedia is Wikipedia. It is not Wiktionary, and Wiktionary is not Urban Dictionary. Dictdefs are covered explicitly by the deletion guidelines, and neologisms are not permitted on Wiktionary, either, so no transwiki and no keeping. Geogre 19:40, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Geogre. FCYTravis 21:52, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- COMMENT isn't puckle the Finnish war cry? 132.205.44.134 00:36, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, nn neo, and like everyone said, Urban Dictionary is not a valid source for any verification. RasputinAXP talk contribs 02:14, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
