Dictionary definition, unsourced since NOVEMBER FREAKING 2006. Absolutely no hope of expansion. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 19:46, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Delete from WP. This is dictionary material only. Once you have said what it means there is nothing more to explain, so no article. Borock (talk) 19:53, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Merge with Black Friday I think this could be best served merging and redirecting to the article on Black Friday, as that seems to be the major association, and let the rest go to Wikitionary. Angryapathy (talk) 20:12, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

:Good idea. Nothing wrong with mentioning it as a part of that. Borock (talk) 20:17, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

~~Transwiki to Wiktionary~~ While Black Friday is a somewhat-sensible redirect target it implies that doorbusters don't happen at other times of the year, which is false. In particular, I've heard phrases like "grand opening doorbuster specials" or "special inventory liquidation doorbuster specials" in months other than November. I have WP:PRODed Serverbuster. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:40, 30 November 2009 (UTC) Delete as it's already in Wiktionary. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 22:42, 30 November 2009 (UTC) Soft-redirect per Cybercobra below may be okay. How common is soft-redirecting to Wiktionary? If it's extremely rare then don't do it, if it's common, then do it. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 03:46, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Delete per WP:NOTDICTIONARY. I agree that serverbuster should also be deleted. A Wiktionary article exists for doorbuster. – jaksmata 22:38, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Merge with Black Friday per User:Angryapathy, and redirect. It is almost exclusively a Black Friday sale in the United States, and less known elsewhere. There is no harm in mentioning it, and it deals with the WP:DICDEF and WP:UNDUE issues. Bearian (talk) 23:14, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Soft Redirect to Wiktionary via {{tl|wi}}; it's not unreasonable for the reader to think we might have an article on this. I have seen the term used on days other than Black Friday, so redirecting there would be incorrect. --Cybercobra (talk) 06:16, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Soft Redirect as per above. I oppose a merge to Black Friday as doorbusters are not exclusive to Black Friday, and most of the world doesn't celebrate American Thanksgiving with massive retail promotions. -- Whpq (talk) 17:47, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Soft redirect per above. {{tl|wi}} is transcluded more than 500 times, so I'd say it's fairly common. Tim Song (talk) 06:21, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
