A grand total of...no Google hits (alright, there's a few in groups, but nothing particularly clear). Fuck this dead cat already. sjorford:// 21:02, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- It is absolutely ridiculous to suggest this article is worthy of deletion. "Fuck the dead cat" is part of Australia's rich cultural heritage, to suggest it is fit for deletion is an outrage and an insult.
- Delete Australia's cultural heritage is indeed 'rich' but sadly we must delete. --Lee Hunter 21:10, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Fuck this dead article. (um, delete...) Postdlf 21:30, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete with extreme deceased feline intercoursal prejudice. Sockpuppets, neologisms...will they never learn? Postdlf and Sjorford pretty much summed up my feelings on the matter. - Lucky 6.9 21:44, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Transwiki So I may be a sock puppet but this is NOT a neologism, it is an actual phrase used countless times every single day, a definition is needed if only so the tourists are less stunned when they hear it in use.
It looks like I forgot to list this on the main VFD page, so I'm relisting it on today's subpage. sjorford →•← 12:08, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Delete -- Must be localised slang I've never heard before. Longhair 13:30, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete not even one instance on Google suggests that this is NOT an even remoretely widespread term, and even widespread dicdefs shouldn't be kept anyway. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:49, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
- This has been in use possibly for a hundred years? Yeah right. Delete. Radiant! 16:47, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. No notable references cited from linguists or news sources. Zzyzx11 20:22, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Do not transwiki. RickK 22:23, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, not notable. Megan1967 23:34, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I think the cat is dead. Delete. Tygar 07:24, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)
- With no verifiability, delete this dead cat. I have never heard this term, ever - David Gerard 13:56, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, unless good, verifiable evidence of significant use is presented prior to expiration of VfD. This article has no references at all. The information is given on the authority of the contributor. Earlier VfD discussants performed due diligence and failed to find any evidence of significant use. This isn't Schrödinger's cat; it's unambiguously dead. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:51, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- It's not pining, it's passed on. This cat is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late cat. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up the daisies. It’s run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!! This is an ex-cat. Delete Jayjg (talk) 21:52, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Dicdef. Miss Pippa 22:08, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Is it a Norwegian Blue...? Way to go, Jayjg! Thanks for the laugh. No change of vote, though. :^) - Lucky 6.9 18:55, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
