Why nominate for deletion? It needs cleanup (I'll do this), but it's certainly in widespread use among instant message users

- The first page of hits at google groups:"his m8" includes, among others, these three cites: [1] [2] [3]. —RuakhTALK 21:54, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- Six cites added spanning 9 years, including two from text messages quoted in books. I trust this is sufficient? Thryduulf (talk) 22:20, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- A load of these got speedy deleted earlier. They could be restored and moved here, as they weren't "protogisms", but they might be rather hard to cite per our CFI. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:37, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- If by "these" you mean internet slang/text message abbreviations, then given how trivially easy it was to cite (deprecated template usage) m8 I think you'd be surprised at how many are citable. If this isn't what you mean, then I don't know what you are referring to and so cannot usefully comment. Thryduulf (talk) 22:55, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- EncycloPetey (forgivably IMO) deleted about ten, maybe fifteen internet/text message slang entries yesterday. I shall restore them and bring them here, using Special:Logs. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:32, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
