[edit] Crapplet
delete this nonnotable crapplet Mukadderat 01:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Redirect to Applet and transwiki this to wiktionary. - Richard Cavell 01:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- A redirect would make sense only if the term was in real use. I clicked thru first 10 google search pages of (a really nonnotable count of 9,000 for a supposedly internet word), and 98% are dicdefs or humor pages, rather than actual usage, even not speaking about absence of reliable sources. Mukadderat 02:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- The same argument could apply to interlocutress (which I started on wiktionary). - Richard Cavell 04:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- There is a difference between how words in the pairs interlocutor/interlocutress and applet/crapplet are related to each other. (Oops! interlocutress is a redlink. What's you point? before I start discussing whether crapartment, crapplication, crapostle, crapsticle, etc. must or not redirect somewhere) Mukadderat 08:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

- hehe:
- public crapplication
- public crreport
- crapplication = createobject("crystalruntime.application")
- crreport = createobject("crystalruntime.report")
- Actual example :-) Mukadderat 08:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as a neologism, Urban dictionary is also made up of mostly humorous pages and shouldn't be used as a source in most cases. Darthgriz98 03:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete protologism. Guy (Help!) 11:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Urban Dictionary is notoriously unreliable as source and even if NetLingo is reliable, we're left with a dictionary definition that will never expand. Not encyclopedic.- Mgm|(talk) 12:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Redirect to Software bloat, as was done with Craplet. Closing admmin: this is not a keep vote! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Fun it will be for you and to arrogant Microsoft to know that "Craplet" is a French last name. Mukadderat 17:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed is it, but AfD this is about 'Crapplet'. 86.143.127.209 17:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. I could maybe see a redirect to Software bloat, but I'm being generous. Realkyhick 03:18, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
