Seems to be a minimally notable neologism. Sources provided to attest to it's use but beyond the definition, what more would we be able to say on this topic? I think this dictionary-definition would be much happier if we released it back into Wiktionary, it's natural environment. Salimfadhley (talk) 18:48, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to an appropriate article that can cover this well-known and well-attested concept, probably Seduction community#concepts. More examples of mainstream sources that attest to notability of "the neg": [1] [2] [3] [4] --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:42, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
Transwiki to Wikitionary.Delete. Unlikely to expand beyond a dicdef. Could also be redirected somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I guess the aforementioned Seduction community target is alright. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:15, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTDICDEF. Wiktionary already includes this definition of neg. Gobōnobō c 17:35, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't notice that it was already on Wiktionary. I thought I looked there, but I guess not. In that case, deletion does seem like the obvious choice. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:42, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- Keep per substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Several cites in article to coverage of this subject. Candleabracadabra (talk) 00:32, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- Delete per Gobōnobō as WP:NOTDICDEF. "Substantial coverage in reliable independent sources" is not relevant when it is just a definition of a word. --Bejnar (talk) 23:51, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
