This article appears to have a lot of original research wherein evidence of the use of a word (for example in a google search result or in a headline or series of headlines) is then used to support an analytical claim which is not present in the source. I have removed some blatant examples, but there may be many more. -- The Red Pen of Doom 18:01, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

– Now that the AFD is closed as "keep", this article must be the primary topic because... it is a word used by Anglo-Western people, including British and Australians. Even this article establishes creation of impact by this word. That's all. George Ho ( talk) 16:57, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

– I proposed this move two years ago, the year of the article's creation, yet it was unsuccessful because the time was too wrong to tell whether the word is the primary topic. Right now, the only "Bloke"s we have are Municipality of Bloke ( Slovenia) and Bloke (comics). None surpass the historical significance and popularity of the slang word "bloke", and popularity of the word is rising in Wikipedia (no stats needed, right?). I tried finding other "bloke"s; there is no other. Therefore, the word shall be primary topic. George Ho ( talk) 03:08, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
There's summink wrong with this article and IMO it's because it's top heavy on Australian usage.. For decades longer than most Wikipedia editors have been around, it's been the standard BE soft slang word for any man, and used throughout the entire spectrum of British society and without any specific regional bias. Of course, I can't say this in the article because it would be OR, and I can't be fished to find any sources - if in fact there were any. 58.10.28.142 ( talk) 13:16, 26 September 2014 (UTC) ( user:Kudpung not logging in because insecure connection.)

Have to agree with the above sentiment. Article is very heavy on Australian usage and whatnot - barely any mention of British or New Zealand ("The Real Kiwi Bloke" and all that jazz) usages of the word. Again, difficult to specify this in the page without it being classed as OR - someone decently versed in etymological scholarly research want to have a crack at making this page more well-rounded?
