Wibley[edit]

Neologism. At best should be moved to Wiktionary, but probably not. Kelly Martin 15:42, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

The "source" isn't actually a source, and is unverifiable. I cannot find any evidence that supports this word having this particular meaning, so it's not worth transwikiing this article. "Wibley" is a surname, but there's no need for a name disambiguation because there's no-one with that surname who has an article. I've put a redlink in Wiktionary:Wiktionary Appendix:Surnames wia-wiz. There's exactly 1 piece of evidence that I've found, a Usenet posting, that indicates that there's a thing called a Wibley. It says that it's a type of tripod head used in photography. But since it doesn't come up in the advertisements for "we'll sell you all sorts of expensive camera stuff" shops, I'm inclined to doubt this. The Usenet poster possibly meant Wimberley. Delete.
