If the subject wasn't made up in school one day, then this is definitely a non notable neologism. RadManCF ☢ open frequency 00:02, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

  • Snow delete per WP:MADEUP. In addition, the article states the term was created by Martin Coutts, which also just happens to be the name of the article's creator. Erpert (let's talk about it) 20:51, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete I think snow is due too... "So what is Roosing we hear you ask?" They must have very good hearing because I never said a word about it. It is "renowned .... in the UK"? It is so well renowned in Merseyside that I have never heard of it - and can't find much (or indeed anything) of note on a certain well known search engine. Peridon (talk) 23:37, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep at least for a while longer and aggressively try to find sources. The article claims it has been around since 2002, so it is not brand new. Dew Kane (talk) 14:29, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment They probably would claim a longer history than 'created last year', bearing in mind what happens to things like that.... As to 'aggressively try to find sources', guess what I've been doing? And I've tried some odd places. Nothing. Apart from which, "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material", and "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it" - quoted from WP:BURDEN. I have the feeling that this is an attack on someone known to the creator of the article, someone with the surname Roose. I've not managed to identify the victim - if there is one. "Entrepreneurs"? No evidence of that either. The only Jordan Pilkington I can find of any note (more than just a name) is a Southport boy who was six in 2007. There is a Martin Coutts, journalist, but I don't reckon that this is him. Peridon (talk) 16:53, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete - no sources to really support anything in the article. -- Whpq (talk) 16:10, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete - Could find no sources. That the article asserts the concept has been around for several years is no reason to give it added weight; if anything it should make the case that there should be better sources out there. Narthring (talk • contribs) 01:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete/Comment It should be noted that this word already means "praising" in English. I see no sources, and certainty no way that this could be notable. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 20:03, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
