Unreferenced dictionary definition of an Australian slang turn of phrase. A google search shows that it certainly exists, if only for the first definition of a car accident. The question is though, does this belong in an encyclopedia? role^player 00:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTDIC. Undeniably ubiquitous Australian slang term for a minor traffic accident, but Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Shirt58 (talk) 11:10, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sounds pretty spammy and promotional for the Bingle car insurance company... "Since the launch of value online car insurance brand bingle the word changed in the popular vernacular to mean bargain"? Hmmm. --Canley (talk) 13:16, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as an encyclopedia is not a dictionary, and the article reads like blatant advertising. Mtiffany71(talk) 18:48, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
