Rationale for deletion:
- In the prior prior AfD discussion
- Votes appear primarily based on whether people were amused by the article or not.
- The admin decided "Keep" but did not follow WP:N: "A topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works with sources independent of the subject itself and each other."
- NOTE: Wanker has only one non-trivial published work cited about "Wanker". (No blame to the admin - no one even mentioned this omission in the prior Afd discussion).
- The article is about a neologism, a slang term.
- WP:NEO states that, for all articles about neologisms, all article claims must be sourced to reliable secondary sources. If the article is not verifiable (see Reliable sources for neologisms, below) then it constitutes analysis, synthesis and original research and consequently cannot be accepted by Misplaced Pages. This is true even though there may be many examples of the term in use.
- Moreover, per the section "Reliable sources for neologism" mentioned, To support the use of (or an article about) a particular term we must cite reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term — not books and papers that use the term. This article contains only one reference about the term. It also contains a trivia reference from the 1990 U.S. Census stating, "'Wanker' is the 53,492nd most common surname in the United States".
- WP:NEO states "even though there may be many examples of the term in use", it is not sufficient to establish notability (WP:N).
- Any pertinent cited information in the article is best merged into Masturbation where Wanker may be described as one of many colloquialisms for the act.
