WP:NOTDICT. This could also be disambiguated, if possible. 48JCL 20:01, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Australians. Agree with NOTDICT. Orange sticker (talk) 21:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep the term "Aussie" is frequently used and part of Australia culture. Bduke (talk) 22:57, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Popular or not, it must be sufficiently notable. The references are entirely to dictionaries and there is scant coverage of the term elsewhere in reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. GhostOfNoMeme 08:11, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Australians per NOTDICT. That said, there is a clear difference between Kiwi (nickname) and New Zealanders, but this article is nowhere close to that quality.Doctorhawkes (talk) 02:38, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Australians. Clear case of WP:NOTDICT. "Aussie" as a term, much like "Brit", doesn't enjoy the same level of coverage that "Kiwi" does. GhostOfNoMeme 08:02, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to "Australians." While it may be possible to write a good encyclopedia article on this or some other word, such an article would cover its history, its origins, its impact beyond Australia. Blow it up and start over. Darkfrog24 (talk) 18:55, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
