triple-double-double
Headword does not match title. Which (if any) is correct? SemperBlotto 08:00, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The usage is a rewording of a paragraph in the referenced website. The website also says that Wilt Chamberlain's feat is the only triple-double-double in NBA history. Any citations are thus likely to refer to the same event. Pingku 11:12, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Too encyclopedic maybe? Mglovesfun (talk) 12:07, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not too encyclopedic. Should be kept. Believe has happened more times in college.  Has many Bing hits. Purplebackpack89 17:40, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If something is a word, this word cannot be too encyclopedic. What can be too encyclopedic is the contents of the page, not the word. Lmaltier 11:19, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, delete this page and its contents as too encyclopedic. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:03, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

RFV failed, entry deleted: no cites have been added.

I found two b.g.c. hits for the singular, both referring to Chamberlain's feat, and one b.g.c. hit for the plural, which defined it differently. Only one Usenet hit has quite this form, and it's mention-only. There are a lot of hits in the Google News Archive, but I couldn't find any that were (1) in this sense and (2) in this form and (3) clearly durably archived.

If someone really puts their mind to citing it, it's probably possible, in which case they're welcome to restore the entry.
