Non-encyclopedic at best. Solver 21:33, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What the hell are people messing with this for? There are plenty of people called "baldy." (and ol' baldy). Can you pleeeease leave my space alone.

Wikipedia is not a place for word definitions, and definitely not slang. Also, please do not remove deletion notices from your articles and do not add nonsense. Consult Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Solver 21:46, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note - Brjatlick seems to have learned his lesson (or just gone away) - he's done nothing since posting a handful of articles earlier. As for this one, Redirect to baldness (or put in BJAODN). -- BDAbramson ^thimk 04:21, 2005 May 6 (UTC)

Delete — I went ahead and added a one-liner to the nickname page for "Baldy". — RJH 16:16, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sorry for my angry post above, I did not understand how this process works, but this is a real term in use, and should be kept. But I did not know there was an article of nicknames, so I guess it could just go there, too. --Brjatlick 16:53, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to baldness, a redirect to nickname would be a acceptable second option. Mgm|^(talk) 20:06, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to nickname. --USFJESUS 20:23, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to baldness. I have heardy (and used) the term myself, but I do not think the article can stand on its own, quite yet. Zscout370 (talk) 23:46, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
BJAODN. "Baldy" is a real nickname, but largely a colloquial one. I do not know of any well-known people who have that nickname. So make this a redirect to Nickname. NatusRoma 07:57, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, For wiktionary at most. --Marianocecowski 10:49, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I have added to the article now, I think it is much better than it was. --Brjatlick 17:39, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Still a Delete. Maybe could move it to Wiktionary, but not Wikipedia material. --Marianocecowski 09:49, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
