Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whacker
The additional links are helpful.  I'd still feel better if you had a reliable source (like a newspaper article) that specifically discussed or defined what a "whacker" is.  That said, it's '''your''' job, as the article creator, to make sure that the article is backed by |verifiable sources.  It's not other editors' responsibility to "call their local fire department" to verify an article.  Finally, the article is no longer tagged for speedy deletion, so there's no need to repost the hangon tag.  AFD discussions normally run for five days.  If there are reputable news sources, that should be enough time to find them
