Delete - Wizardman (nom) pretty much says it all. Dicdef, slang, WP is not Urban Dictionary. _David ^WS _(contribs) 01:00, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Delete. The Word Detective, which is mentioned as a source and reliable in my experience says: "Hoopie as a derogatory term for natives of West Virginia is, according to the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE), in widespread use in eastern Ohio as well as in southwestern PA. Regional and state rivalries are often expressed in such terms, of course." It's not unverifiable, but still a a dicdef without any chance of expansion. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:51, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
