I originally nominated this for speedy per a1, but that was removed (and after looking at the article again I agree with the removal of the speedy tag), but it still should be deleted as Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Also the term fails WP:N as the only reference I could find was an urban dictionary definition. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:57, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- delete agree with nom, it is a slang term and not encyclopedic. move to wiktionary if better sources can be found. Or redirect to The Dark Tower glossary#Popkin as that is the only mention of it to be found. --neonwhite user page talk 21:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Only references to this particular definition of popkin (ie: not a name) that I could find via Google are, among others, SlangSite, a blog called The Daily Bitch, and the aforementioned UD entry. Clearly it is a relatively obscure slang term, a repository for which Wikipedia is not. Barring that, I can't imagine any logical expansion of the article as it stands. It deserves perhaps a passing mention in Sandwich.-Thatotherguy21 (talk) 21:17, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - the term was used in the Stephen King "Dark Tower" series (Book II) . I do not believe this adds much to notability; I'm just giving one more place where I've seen it. Tanthalas39 (talk) 21:44, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to sandwich and give passing mention there. Ford MF (talk) 01:07, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I just tagged this article it has no links to other articles. This article is not encyclopedic. Have also orphaned the article. Ohmpandya (Talk) 01:54, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
