Mars Bar party[edit]

Patently non-encyclopedic, neologism. Delete, candidate for speedy deletion as patent nonsense. - Mike Rosoft 06:44, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nonsense, albeit enticing. Harro5 06:56, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

Delete, redirect to mars bar. R adiant _* 14:30, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Keep and rewrite - this is pretty well established UK slang, as I was hearing it on the streets 12 years ago. Google shows a bunch of references, some of which could be used to improve the article. Vashti 12:16, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Does it have the same meaning in UK slang as in this article? This was the first time I heard the term anywhere. — JIP | Talk 12:29, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, it does - the section at playgroundlaw.com relates to what I used to hear. It's British playground slang, but it's hardly a two-minute neologism that WP has no business with, IMO. Vashti 12:34, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - So it's an urban myth? What a pity, now I won't get to try it after all. =) — JIP | Talk 12:37, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Vashti's evidence, notable urban/playground myth. Kappa 22:13, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
