The result of the nomination was Speedy keep "unsourced tripe" is not a valid reason to delete. - FrancisTyers · 08:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD submitted by anon user 212.251.125.15, with comment - "deleted unsourced tripe (probably some editor's personal musings) on the background behind the so-called phenomenon, per WP: no original research". This is a procedural nomination - my opinion is Neutral. Tevildo 13:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Previous AfD's here and here. Tevildo 13:28, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment The author of the article states some books as sources, so he should inform us if the 'background' description is first shown in those books. Pictureuploader 13:50, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• STRONG DELETE Per WP: Non-notability and WP: Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

The so called "phenomenon" returns only 25 results in Google Groups, of which most consist of a single usenet user's signature. On the world wide web, almost all returns are reproductions of the wikipedia entry, or unrelated websites such as "zamanfou casino" and forum usernames. In fact describing "zamanfou" as some complex Greek social phenomenon, when in fact it is nothing more than a slang expression, similar to "devil may care", while amusing, is completely incorrect. Last time I checked what Wikipedia was not, I read that Wikipedia is not a Dictionary or jargon guide [1]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kpapatelios (talk • contribs)

• Keep. It is sourced (although I cannot verify the sources because I don't read Greek) and appears well-written. Google search results mean nothing, especially when dealing with international subject. --Aguerriero (talk) 20:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep. For the 3rd time. Let's see if we'll make a pool for the 20th deletion of the article much like the GNAA article has. Project2501a | ΑΝΥΠΟΤΑΞΙΑ, ΑΠΑΛΛΑΓΗ, Ι-5 07:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. It appears well written, and if I could read greek, I'd imagine well sourced. The previous AfD's were keeps, I cannot see why this is up again. ShaunES 06:34, 11 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]
