- Delete This entry is much more appropriate for Wiktionary, as it is little more than a dictionary definition. I would recommend merging any relevant info over to wikt:shufty. (It is notable however -- quite a few hits from online dictionaries on Google -- just not appropriate for Wikipedia.) tempodivalse [☎] 19:08, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not a neologism. It looks like a redirect to Digger slang#Second World War will inform not only readers, but editors as well. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 19:10, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary and therefore, such articles should not exits, perhaps such words can be added to appropriate articles later on. Parvazbato59 (talk) 19:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- delete as while it is a common British word, and has been in use for many years, there is probably little encycolpedic information that can be written about it. PaulJones (talk) 20:20, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and it seems unlikely that there will ever be enough information to make this an encyclopedia article. It should be transwikied if possible. TheDude2006 (talk) 20:26, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- delete Belongs on wiktionary. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 21:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Definitely a very long established British English word - and already in Wiktionary as 'shufti' which is the spelling I would use. Peridon (talk) 22:53, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Soft redirect to the Wiktionary - As pointed out by Uncle G, this is not a neologism. It is however a dictionary definition. I would prefer a soft redirect to the Wiktionary entry, or possibly a redirect to Digger slang#Second World War per Uncle G. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 16:52, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I can't see why redirect to Digger Slang when it's a British word. The Digger Slang article says it got there from British English, which got it from Arabic. Digger Slang is Australian. Peridon (talk) 18:09, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
