This looks like just a word from manga or anime world Arthistorian1977 (talk) 12:51, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Article itself needs cleanup, but that's not why we're here. The term has received some coverage in major news sources, so it's notable per GNG. APerson (talk!) 14:51, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: WP is not a dictionary. '壁ドン' is a rather marginal Japanese slang word that means "banging on the wall", and this word has at least two distinct applications: to banging on the wall to alert a neighbour, and banging(?) (really, 'pinning') a girl against the wall. Of course, for any Japanese word you may find an article which mentions it, but this does not make the Japanese word into an English topic.

Comment That a term is just from a specific area doesn't itself guarantee deletion. At the end, WP:GNG presides all. Refer to the reference list at ja:壁ドン (which ~~survived~~ was deleted by an AfD 2 years back at Sept 2013 and newly recreated in Aug 2014, presumably not similar to the deleted state) and the Japanese {{Find sources AFD}} for fuller consideration. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 07:39, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The source I see include expanded coverage from just a dictionary definition. I wouldn't oppose a redirect to Japanese sound symbolism though as I have heard the usage of Doki Doki (Heart throb) more. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:51, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This a fad that is along the lines of Planking (fad). The fact that it is limited to Japan (and therefore most potential references are Japanese) does not mean it should be deleted. The sources are certainly out there, as it has received a lot of mentions in mainstream tv over the last year. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:48, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't see this as being a simple dictionary term, this clearly has some developing social context and if it's being covered by the likes of Wired then it clearly has some notability.SephyTheThird (talk) 15:37, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
