Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Teh (old)

Dicdef, pretty much zero chance of ever growing beyond its current size, and already covered in leet. Fredrik 22:08, 7 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Vote we set up separate entries for each possible erroneous combination of the three named letters. No? OK. delete. --bodnotbod 00:30, May 8, 2004 (UTC)
- that's not the point of the article. The word teh is a specific Leet term. I have in the past deliberately searched for this word looking for its usage history. Given the lack of substance though I vote Redirect to Leet. --A1r 16:11, 12 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The. -- Cyrius|&#9998 04:26, May 8, 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Think about it from the point of view of someone who types in "teh" deliberately or accidentally. 1) The fact that it's a "dicdef" isn't relevant because it isn't in ordinary dictionaries. There is at least a chance that someone might encounter it, want to know what it means, and go to Wikipedia to find out. 2) If it's going to redirect, I think it should redirect to Leet. I was going to suggest that initially, but the explanation of "teh" is so far down in the article that people would probably be puzzled by the redirection. 3) As to whether every other leet word should have a redirect, well, we're hopelessly inconsistent about this anyway. 4) In general, having redirects does no harm and increases the chance that the user will find what he or she is seeking. 5) In this particular case, if a user intends to type the but accidentally types teh, the contents of the page make it clear what has happened and provide a link to the, so no harm is done.

Keep -- 'teh' is commonly used in leet speak on purpose.
- Unsigned votes don't count. Do we need an article on every individual word in leet, though? Fredrik 07:19, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Dpbsmith pretty much covered all my reasons. --SamClayton 09:23, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as it does give useful info. As for the, keep that to, as it has more info that just a dict def Burgundavia
Keep as a disambiguation page covering The, the typo, the related "spell-checker feature", Leet, Te, & the Chinese? name. --Zigger 18:13, 2004 May 13 (UTC)
Keep. IMO teh is more characteristic of Jeff K. than "l33t" proper; it's involved in special constructions like "TEH FUNNAY" that aren't really l33t because they don't use punctuation/numbers. DopefishJustin 21:17, May 13, 2004 (UTC)
Frederik wrote "Dicdef, pretty much zero chance of ever growing beyond its current size" when all we had was "Teh is a common typo for the. In the online slang known as Leet, it is deliberately used in place of the word the.". That alone should be enough of an argument for keeping this article. Wiwaxia 04:49, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
- What's basically happened is that it now duplicates content equally relevant in Leet and JeffK. I don't see a point in having a separate article for every misspelling Jeff K has ever used (or for every other word in Leet). Oh well, I'm not going to kick and scream over this.
