Actually, the creator of the former Hooknose article agreed with my rationale and he personally merged it with the Human nose article, as I had suggested. It got trimmed down to one or two sentences, as I had also recommended, which is an agreeable compromise for a slang term which does have mild prominence in everyday discussions of human probosci.

You telling me to use the Sandbox and vandalizing my Talk page by putting a garish "Warning" icon is totally uncalled for.  I have never added "nonsense" to any Wikipedia article. If you try to slander me again I will have to report you.

If for some reason you decide to revive the Hooknose article, which seems to have been oddly close to your heart, keep in mind that you would be creating a slang article. You would thus be in violation of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_a_dictionary, which lays out one of Wikipedia's key tenets: "Wikipedia is not a dictionary, or a slang, jargon, or usage guide." Your vigorous defense of the Hooknose article displayed a striking unawareness of this basic tenet.  Perhaps you care to explain?

Looking forward to your response. Best,
