Hi there, the term Spurtnip is a genuine slang term used in East Anglia region of UK. Why is this being deleted? thanks for your time.
Response: see the following section from WP:NFT --
"Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Many articles of this nature describe new words or terms coined by a small group of friends. But Wikipedia is not a dictionary, it's an encyclopedia. Meanings of words and phrases go in a dictionary, such as Wiktionary; however, adding your own new words and phrases to Wiktionary is also unacceptable. Wiktionary requires evidence that a word or phrase has been attested before it will accept it. A new word that one person or a small group of people have made up and are trying to make catch on is a neologism, and isn't acceptable at Wiktionary. Take a look at Urban Dictionary instead."
So, you would need verifiable sources showing that this word has become popular in general. Saying "I use it and I know a bunch of people that use it" is not verifiable. Thanks, NawlinWiki 15:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
