message: *I'd like to comment that all info in this article (as of 02.08.06) has been taken from the two articles provided in the external links.  Please read these thoroughly before you consider changing any info in the article.--Hraefen 22:12, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *This info is almost word-for-word the definition in Urban Dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=coastie&defid=1615910, at the time of this posting it's Definition #3).  So if this definition was taken by Urban Dictionary, that's one thing (and it might be useful to note that here, just to clear up any confusion)--but if this is just a copy of the pre-existing definition, then please a) rephrase and b) cite appropriately.

replies: text: * If you look at the timestamp of that entry, you can see the definition at Urban Dictionary was clearly taken off of Wikipedia --Gameshints (talk) 20:39, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

message: *This article is in serious need of attention; it could do with rewriting for style, expansion (especially background), and further documentation (one of the two external links is broken).  As it stands now, it probably wouldn't survive WP:AFD, but I think it deserves a chance to live.  --CComMack 11:14, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *I removed the cleanup tag because 1) the info is almost all documented by the one external link 2) the writing is not the best, but hardly in need of "serious attention."  The part about the Mendota Beacon is all true, but the op-ed is no longer archived at The Mendota Beacon website.  If someone wishes to remove mention of the Beacon because of this, go ahead I guess.  But the rest of the article is verifialbe by reading the WSJ link.--Hraefen Talk 17:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *I removed the Notability tag because I re-fixed the WSJ link and cleaned up/added a couple more references. --Gameshints (talk) 21:26, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: As a student at a University in the Midwest who had not heard the term until today, I have to ask if the term really widespread enough to be notable?  One of the links given does not include the term "coastie" and the other is from several years ago.Lord Manwe (talk) 18:32, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: *I believe that the article should at least be changed so that it only refers to UW, rather than the Midwest as a whole, since all of the articles cited so far have been either from Wisconsin publications or have referenced it as a UW phenomenon. It would also be useful to have references that aren't written by students that use the term. Lord Manwe (talk) 06:47, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

text: * Sorry, I rolled back a little too far.  The source to the article is appropriate, but I feel the link to the video/song is not.  I just cited an AP article which has a linguistics professor estimating the term originated about 15 years ago.  The several additions which mention the video always seem to claim that the artists of the song created the term, which clearly they have not.  I don't know if it is underground marketing or a legitimate feeling that the song is important, but it should only be added 1) In that context that the song has added an anti-semitic definition to the term that was previously not there 2) Some sort of "in popular culture" section. --Gameshints (talk) 21:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Whether or not the article is sourced, WP:NAD still applies. Even moreso for slang terms. --joeOnSunset (talk) 05:23, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable? 

message: I have proposed this article for deletion because of WP:NOT#DICT. If this term is truly notable, perhaps it can be merged into the article for UW-Madison. However, I am not convinced that it is. rdude (talk) 23:18, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
