This article (or rather the one that was moved here) survived AFD in February 2005. As such, prod cannot be used. Grutness...wha? 01:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where was it moved from? We should have a link to the Afd discussion on this talk page.-gadfium 02:07, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was moved from Trevs, and you're right. Grutness...wha? 00:44, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I had "prodded" this article, completely unaware of the AfD for "Trevs" as there was no link between that discussion on that article and the present "Trev" article.

As for the article itself, unless there is some significant reason, a nickname really does not warrant its own separate article. It is simply not encyclopedic. As for the aspect of this article having to do with New Zealand slang, it ought to be be transwikied into the Wiktionary. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Fluit 21:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's no different to the article at Mick, which seems perfectly acceptable. Certainly there should be a major link to the Trevor article at the top, but I don't see that merging it is entirely necessary. Many other shortened names act as disambiguation pages for people with those names - frequently adding that the terms are also used in slang (see Sheila, Paddy, Charlie, Fritz, and Jock, for instance). There's no reason why this page could not operate in the same way. In rare cases, a personal nickname that has more widespread use definitely deserves its own article (see Jerry (WWII), for instance), thought Trev doesn't fulfil that criterion. I'd still favour keeping this and treating it in the same way as pages like Mick. Grutness...wha? 01:08, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Two wrongs don't make a right. Mick oughtta merge, too. Fluit 06:58, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Um I dont know how to edit Wiki at all, but wasnt the main character's name in Pay It Forward? isnt that notable enough to make the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.27.122.189 (talk) 22:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
