User_talk:Equinox: creator seems to think it's attestable. Nothing on BGC that I could find. Good luck! Equinox ◑ 01:51, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Tosh. Even if it was real, it wouldn't be dictionary material. Deleted SemperBlotto 10:30, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I would delete this as "not dictionary material" - more like blog/Facebook material. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:13, 29 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, it IS dictionary material. The following excerpt is from WT:CFI,  Section 1.2, "Attestation":


 * "'Attested' means verified through
 * Clearly widespread use,
 * Usage in a well-known work,
 * Appearance in a refereed academic journal, or
 * Usage in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year." (emphasis added)


 * Based on the use of the word "or," only one of the criteria for Attestation must be met by the word for it to be considered "attested."


 * If you | search only English pages for >Dasey< on Google, about 61,900 results come up at the time that I am posting this comment and if you | search English pages only for >Dasey "Life with Derek"< on Google, about 365,000 results come up at the time that I am posting this comment (don't ask me why more come up, but they do. If you don't believe me, try it for yourself). I think it is safe to say that 61,900 or 365,000 results on Google constitutes "clearly widespread use," thus meeting the criteria for Attestation as defined in WT:CFI Section 1.2, "Attestation" (see verification method 1).


 * Therefore, it is dictionary material. SoccerMan2009 06:20, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
