It's a dictdef of a slang term. Not encyclopedic. Since it's slang wiktionary won't want it, just delete. RJFJR 04:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. "Dogballs is a slang term used in the game of golf." Really? By whom? Oh wait, nobody that would make this WP:V and not WP:NFT or WP:NEO. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:02, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, and feel free to insert your own WP:DOGBALLS joke here. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:03, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not just slang, but slang that I, as a golfer, have never heard. For the record, this is precisely the kind of slang I'd use if it were in common use ;) --Deville (Talk) 05:25, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This deserves, at best, a mention in an article on golf, not its own articleAyreon 12:17, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete. It's a term I've used many times. I'm a golfer.

Surprise, user's only other contribution is removing the AfD from the article. (Restored.) --Kinu ^t/_c 07:25, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another surprise...those that are commenting are self-rightous in their comments and aren't avid golfers. Sorry to take down the last message...it was an error. :(

Delete unable to verify usage in this context, does not google. Neologism. Accurizer 13:51, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as unverifiable, neologism. --Ter e nc e Ong 15:56, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is valid. I work at a golf company. Often used. Request to NOT delete. --User:Snappper08:11, 10 March 2006

Valid slang - I'm an avid golfer. Golf is riddled with cliches and euphemisms, don't deprive the world of this legitimate entry.

Delete. At the very least, the 'source' is not a verifiable one. Remy B 17:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable cliché.--Ezeu 17:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki to wiktionary, or a golf or slang wiki, if there is one that wants it. It seems to be legitimate slang, just not encyclopedic. Bayberrylane 21:29, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
don't delete : I also found an instance of dog balls here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_slang_names_for_poker_hands#Texas_Hold_.27Em_Slang
