- Speedy delete - total nonsense. St★lwart111 03:39, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Speedy delete - although I've heard the term before, it's more slang than a phrase, and Wikipedia isn't a dictionary. -Fimatic (talk | contribs) 04:01, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. I don't see any category of speedy delete that would apply. WP:G1 (nonsense) doesn't apply because the content is comprehensible. It's not clear vandalism either. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 04:43, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Tchaliburton, I think in this case the admin's would understand your reasoning for using nonsense, no context, or vandalism. Even if it doesn't fit perfectly, it's pretty clear.War wizard90 (talk) 05:08, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Speedy delete - would have tagged this for speedy delete rather than afd myself. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and definitely not an urban dictionary.War wizard90 (talk) 05:06, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- SNOW delete as a dictionary entry. I notice that Wiktionary already has the term: wikt:cray-cray. —Granger (talk · contribs) 14:17, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Delete as unencyclopedic WP:DICDEF containing nothing worth keeping. However, Wikipedia has many articles on recent slang terms, and when sufficient sources are found to demonstrate mere usage, they increasingly tend to survive AfD. A passably encyclopedic article could probably be written on this term. / edg ☺ ☭ 15:12, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
