Deletion Discussion

As a neologism/word, cheugy should probably be defined with an entry on the wiktionary project rather than an article on wikipedia. At the moment there is no wiktionary entry for cheugy.

There are lots of pages about words. There isn't a PoG against writing articles about words; there is a general notability guideline requiring significant coverage in independent sources, which this article has about a dozen of. If you want to nominate it at AfD, be my guest, but I am removing the {{notability}} tag because it doesn't seem to be based on a policy or guideline. jp×g 18:14, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New enough and long enough (love the userspace subpage name, by the way). QPQ present. Sources check out, unbelievably. I don't see any textual issues. It's amazing we have an article on this that actually meets our notability standards because of the sourcing, but here we are, and here's a tick for it.

Etymology?

Could anyone and hypothesized etymology for the word? Thanks. Illang (talk) 21:53, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original research?

@Schierbecker: I am worried that a couple of recent edits have changed the article in a way that makes unsupported implications about what sources have said. "The term is used, mainly by Generation Z", which has been added to the lead, doesn't seem backed up by sources, and I am not aware of real evidence that it is being used widely by zoomers; per the analysis of Vox and New Statesman, the term saw basically no popularity among zoomers until it was brought to wider attention by Taylor Lorenz (a millennial) writing a post about it in the New York Times. Most of the articles about it were written by millennials; where is the "co-opting"? Changing "broader attention" to "broader attention outside TikTok" and "in March 2021, it was mentioned by user webkinzwhore143 in a video on TikTok" to "Usage of the term bridged generational lines due to a viral TikTok video in March 2021" seems to imply that the term was widely used on TikTok, which as far as I can tell it wasn't. Is there a new source you've found which supports these changes? jp×g 07:56, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I made a couple edits that hopefully helps represent the topic more accurately. The "co-opting" thing is, I believe, supported by the 30yo boat marketer anecdote in the NYT story. Alex Lugger I sent a screenshot of your DYK to that NYT reporter btw. She was very amused! I'll try to pick up more edits tomorrow. Schierbecker (talk) 08:23, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article a joke?
