Not notable; it's a dictionary definition. bobrayner (talk) 13:56, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – another color that's unsourced except for a mention in one book's color list, like most of the others. Dicklyon (talk) 05:58, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of significant use of this term as a colour name, let alone substantial coverage in reliable sources. Also, the article is no more than a dictionary definition, but Wikipedia is not a dictionary. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:00, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article doesn't show in any way that this color name is significantly used, or that it has significant color in sources- it's covered in a dictionary by the looks of it, which must be how we have a dictionary definition as an article. I can't imagine this article being expanded from a one-line dictionary definition into a full article.--Slon02 (talk) 17:25, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this and most of the others. This term may be used occasionally to describe a color which resembles that of a persimmon, but such usage is not common enough or notable enough to warrant its own article. --MelanieN (talk) 17:30, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
