Can you please clarify what references will be needed for the article's approval? Hyramroy (talk) 15:42, 19 August 2015 (UTC)Hyramroy[reply]

@Hyramroy: The problem with the draft is it looks like a neologism that something somebody made up one day, and has only been referenced in self-published sources such as Urban Dictionary. While some neologisms (eg: chav, selfie, lol) do become notable, they do so by being referred to in the national media such as BBC News or the New York Times. Unless you have pieces at that level specifically covering the term, it may be difficult to get an acceptable draft. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:52, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
