This article is based primary on one source as a "male" alternative to the widespread Karen (slang) article. It certainly doesn't have the cultural leverage or universality of coverage. I'm struggling to see WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV as it seems that when searched, sources are not unanimous on what the male version of a Karen should be called (borderline WP:HAMMER). There's also an element of inherited notability here as the term has not become widespread or received coverage in its own rights aside from as a flip/variation of the wider slang/meme/language of the "Karen". >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 23:08, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

- Delete Agree with the nom.'s reasoning of lack of WP:SIGCOV. Page mentions Kevin which (as Kev) has more usage but no page. More importantly, I think WP:DICT - although slang, it is still essentially a dictionary definition. Wiktionary is the correct Wiki project for definitions of words.
