Hoemance

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, even if this WP:NEOLOGISM were WP:NOTABLE. —Largo Plazo (talk) 04:53, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The "best"- and I use that term very loosely- source I could find was Urban Dictionary. Non-notable neologism, delete. At best worth a mention in the bromance article. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 06:54, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If we're including a bromance article, shouldn't we also include a hoemance article? For balance's sake? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.56.120.9 (talk) 11:58, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Only if it's notable, and only if more than a dictionary definition can be found. As you can see, the bromance article goes well beyond being a dictionary definition. (On the other hand, I have an awful lot of trouble with most of it, now that I've looked at it. But I won't go into that here, since it would be off-topic.) —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:11, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Normal people call these kinds of relationships 'girlfriend-to-girlfriend'. Only source is UD and most everyone else would consider this an insult. And come on, 'first spoken by some guy' is usually a db-nonsense tag getter on first sight. Nate • (chatter) 05:21, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NEO, WP:NOTABILITY. I was going to recommend a merge to Bromance, but can find no reliable sources for "Hoemance" or "Homance". (I don't consider Urban Dictionary or YouTube reliable.) Cnilep (talk) 16:53, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NEO, WP:NOTABILITY. Do not merge, do not redirect. Bearian (talk) 21:05, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
