You are not really right Nawlin... See also [http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_was_nylon_invented_and_do_the_letters_NY_and_LON_stand_for_New_York_and_London]. I didn't make up this term. There is such a thing as a "[[NyLon]] commuter" to give you just one example. BTW I live in London so I know this term is widespread. Don't rush and delete this article just because. Can't you see it is used in the prestigious FT ? If they gave it a greenlight why erase it? The term already exists, we cannot do anything about it!

And it is not used ONLY in ONE FT article. Why are so biased not to say plainly incorrect as to this issue of the so called "one" refference? There're more than that. One, two..three...Learn how to count. It's [[arithmetics]]. Let me be clear: I'm gonna mobilise wiki users who are gonna defend the right of this article to exist.[[User:Apostolos Margaritis|Apostolos Margaritis]] 15:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''' Barely-sourced neologism. The first source, as [[User:JohnCD|JohnCD]] mentions, is for Nylon Magazine and has nothing to do with this term. It is merely referring to a common lifestyle of the two cities. The other source does not provide much to substantiate the often grandiose claims in this article, such as: "The term is often used by newspaper commentators on the both sides of the Atlantic, and has more recently gained acceptance as such." If it's "often" used by newspaper commentators, where are the sources? Maybe this term will take off some day, but I need to mention [[WP:CRYSTAL]] here. As it stands, this is mainly original research and speculative. Get some more sources, real ones, and maybe this article could stand.

NyLon
Appears to be a neologism for "New York and London", used in one Financial Times article. NawlinWiki 13:51, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Really? Is this article really vermin to you or something? Can't you really notice NyLon's extenive use in the media?
You are not really right Nawlin... See also [1]. I didn't make up this term. There is such a thing as a "NyLon commuter" to give you just one example. BTW I live in London so I know this term is widespread. Don't rush and delete this article just because. Can't you see it is used in the prestigious FT ? If they gave it a greenlight why erase it? The term already exists, we cannot do anything about it! BTW And there are plenty more refferences in the media ready to be added . Apostolos Margaritis 13:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
You've got NO RIGHT to decide arbitrarily what to delete or not just because it happens that you dislike an article. And it is not used ONLY in ONE FT article. Why are so biased not to say plainly incorrect as to this issue of the so called "one" refference? There're more than that. There is The Observer too. One, two..three...Learn how to count. It's arithmetics. Let me be clear: I'm gonna mobilise wiki users who are gonna defend the right of this article to exist.Apostolos Margaritis 15:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
NyLon exists and it is acknowledged as such even by German language sources
[2] London wiederum ist eng verbunden mit New York, sodaß manche schon von NyLon (New York-London) sprechen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Apostolos Margaritis (talk • contribs) 15:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Dude, chill...why the militant response? First of all, the nominator is not just "deciding on his own" to delete this article - the entire point of bringing it to AfD is so people can have a reasoned, structured debate about whether or not to delete it. And you're more than welcome to "mobilise wiki users", so long as you understand that this is not a vote and that they'll have to either prove the term is notable or work to improve the article....oh, and I'd suggest you don't use german on English wiki talk pages or add titles into AfD debates - it's bad form and doesn't help your case.
