RFV discussion[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

It exists. Encyclopædia Dramatica has a huge article on the subject, to which I link with the caveat that ED is a troll site with frequently offensive content: http://www.encyclopedia dramatica.com/Creepypasta  (u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 17:56, 15 September 2009 (UTC) It turns out that the spam filter prevents me from linking to the article; just delete the space between “encyclopedia” and “dramatica” in the URL I posted.[reply]
However, the only CFI-friendly attestation seems to be [1], and it's a very poor one because somebody is mentioning his unfamiliarity with the word. Equinox 18:25, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Deleted; striking. Perhaps it will be citable in a few years, depending on whether it catches on widely (or whether CFI rules change). Equinox 17:05, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
