Unreferenced after 4 years, no evidence of notability, dictionary definition of term, but I highly doubt that wiktionary will think this notable either. A phrase simply taken from a song isn't enough to make an article, songs aren't reliable sources. I recommend DELETE. - Wolfkeeper 17:56, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete as a non-notable term. Seems more suited to urban dictionary than wiktionary Bfigura (talk) 18:55, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename to "C. C. Cowboys", covering the song itself instead of the pejorative term which was derived from the song. PanchoS (talk) 23:15, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

:That's not the topic the article covers though, would that even be notable? Unless it's changed by the end of the review it should be deleted, and possibly should still be deleted even then.- Wolfkeeper 23:36, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete Per WP:NOT "Dictionary entries" and/or "Usage, slang and/or idiom guides". Orderinchaos 01:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Clear Keep Imperiet is without much doubt the biggest Swedish post-punk band (lead singer Thåström was also singer in Ebba Grön, perhaps a bigger punk band in Sweden than the Sex Pistols were in the UK, this is no hyperbole). It was one of their biggest hits (Imperiet#discography), though not so big as to become an idiomatic part of the Swedish language, that would be a bit of an exaggeration(is there any song title like that in English? O.P.P.? Must be some more examples.) [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coca_Cola_Cowboys&action=historysubmit&diff=347849727&oldid=347849190 I have now rewritten it as a translation from sv:wiki], taking away the phony dicdef and the pro-Soviet slant.walk victor falk talk 04:52, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Also, per User:PanchoS, Rename to C.C. Cowboys, the correct name of the song. walk victor falk talk 05:04, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
  • :Sure go ahead with the move, but it's simply completely unreferenced, and doesn't appear to meet the notability guidelines, so in the meantime it still seems to be delete-worthy.- Wolfkeeper
  • :It's true that it might be very difficult to find English sources; on the other that's very easy to find in Swedish. And Wikipedia's policy is notable in one language, notable in all languages.walk victor falk talk 18:18, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
  • : There's certainly no requirement that it be referenced in English, but if it's not referenced (which is the current situation after many, many requests) then it can (and should) be deleted. FWIW the Swedish article is not referenced either.- Wolfkeeper 18:43, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment. From when the afd started until now, the subject of the article changed from a term to a song.--PinkBull 04:41, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
