Whac-A-Mole

[edit]

I'm not sure on this one at all - I'll let everyone else dicuss whether to keep or delete this one. --Keene 11:00, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

I want to say that I've seen this used as a description of someone popping up out of a hole recently, but I couldn't say where and I couldn't say with certainty it was spelled this way. --EncycloPetey 16:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
I see one generic quotation and one out-of-context for this uncommon spelling on Google Books. I wish there were some sort of RFQ process or something, but that would be foolish until the contestation of CFI is settled. The spelling whack-a-mole has attributive uses, modifying the head of a noun clause. DAVilla 18:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Right, but now that consensus seems to be that the referent should point to Wikipedia, we probably should not keep Whac-A-Mole, right? --Connel MacKenzie 21:34, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yes, of course. The entry for whack-a-mole is a completely different spelling, which was just a reply to EncycloPetey's comment. Being lowercase etc., that entry barely supports the one in question, Whac-A-Mole, which might, however, be worthy of inclusion on its own merits. The first line of my comment above translates to "I'm not sure, possibly yes." DAVilla 15:12, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
