Delete - term is non-notable neologism, sources don't meet

I also note from looking at "What links here" that almost no articles link to this article. It appears to be used almost exclusively for personal attacks by calling a user by this term (with a link to this article) on user talk pages.

Delete as unsourced crap. But I do thank whichever editor has provided us with the weirdest dab in history: "This article is about a neopagan term. For the game involving marshmallows, see Chubby bunny." --

Delete no claim or evidence of notability.

Unconcerned either way, however I note that evidence for notability is very easy to find. Just searching the www.witchvox.com site (the leading pagan/wiccan current affairs/networking site) if find three articles about the pejorative use of this term:
[1],
[2],
[3]. There are many more passing references to it on that site, and I'm sure there will be articles on the subject in printed pagan books and journals as well. Some of these articles also describe attempts to reclaim the term as a positive identifier, information which could make for an interesting article, and one that goes beyond mere dictionary definition. This is a very widespread term, instantly recognisable by neopagans in any English-speaking country. Merely resenting the term is not necessarily a reason for deleting the article.

Weak Keep as per
Fuzzypeg. Also, there are fewer links to the article now than there once were, as
Ekajati has been going through the 'pedia and deleting them from articles. --

Keep per Fuzzypeg and Kathryn NicDhàna. If you think that the article doesn't have enough reliable sources, a better remedy is to add them.

Keep - The article could use serious editing. The complaint is about lack of sources. I added some sources. It needs more. Add them. --

Please don't mischaracterize the complaint. The complaint is that the very topic is non-encyclopedic. Try putting a brief entry on Wiktionary, that's where it belongs.

Keep Seems strange to me, but I know it's real, having met a few people who described themselves this way. There should be enough sources.
