Masshole ( talk| | history| logs| links| watch) ( XfD| restore)

Contunation of User_talk:Anthony_Bradbury#Masshole and User_talk:Emmette_Hernandez_Coleman#Masshole. G4 is for "A sufficiently identical and unimproved copy, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion. This excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version" The Masshole page that was previously was an article about the word "Masshole"., this was just a disambig pointing readers to Massachusetts#Demographics (which describes the people of Massachusetts) and Reckless driving [1], I didn't recreate the deleted article. A3 is not for disambigs that don't have the disambiguated term in the target article, By the standard that a term must be listed in an article for a disambig (or redirect) to target it lots of disambigs would be deleted under A3.

Comment neither article you say this would disambiguate contains the term and the only reference you give is to a source which wouldn't be accepted as reliable. Even if that reference were usable, the link to Reckless driving wouldn't match the definition. -- 62.254.139.60 ( talk) 22:38, 12 January 2013 (UTC) reply

Comment The requesting editor is technically correct, in that when I first deleted this article i did it as a G4, which was incorrect. I restored the article at the same editor's request, reviewed it and both items it was said to be disambiguating, and re-deleted it when i confirmed that it was an inapproriate didambiguation, the link to Massachusetts being obscure and that to reckless driving being non-existent.-- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 10:54, 13 January 2013 (UTC) reply

Comment Technically incorrect, OK. However, if restored as it stood, it'll be tagged for deletion at the latest when I see it pop up on my watchlist, for being an inappropriate deletion. The reckless driving thing seems to be a mainly Urban Dictionary and not encyclopaedic. If anything reliable is found, it'll still only be a dictionary definition and Wiktionary's territory if they want it. It's one of those run-together words that people think they're clever creating. May be notable in the future - but will need far better than Urban Dictionary to support it. Till then, possibly even countable as an attack on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its drivers...

Endorse - I am not even convinced that this even qualifies as WP:DICDEF. This is more like slang. In fact I was able to find it here: Urban Dictionary. I do not think that this would be an article appropriate for Wikipedia. -- Sue Rangell 00:19, 14 January 2013 (UTC) reply

  • Endorse. Not a reasonable nomination. The term does not occur at the redirect target. We do not encourage redirection for derogatory terms, even if a possible search term. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 05:19, 15 January 2013 (UTC) reply
