Removed entries [edit]

The following are ruled out (and none of them could, in the form given here, be the Dab entry for any of the corresponding links, even in the unlikely event of a hypothetical entry with such a link becoming appropriate):

* Malky - a Scottish term used to mean a beating, 'kicking' or even murder. (e.g., "Ye're gannae get the malky" or "I'm getting malkied tonight" (I'm going to get drunk/intoxicated).) It was a staple of the TV comedy series Rab C. Nesbitt. Malky is now widely used by Scottish youth as a word for headering^{[clarification needed]} someone, e.g. "I'm going to header you" would be said "A'm gonnae malky ye"

WP:NAD

* Malky - a popular Hebrew female name.

WP:DabRL

**e.g. Malcolm "Malky" Mackay, a professional Scottish football player with Watford

Dab entry only in event of evidence that he is extremely well known (cf. Elvis, Madonna (performer))

The following

* Malky - shorthand way of saying "Malkavian", a clan in the White Wolf computer game Vampire: The Masquerade.

could be replaced by

* Malky, a.k.a. Malkavian

if the Google hits on Malky Malkavian are accepted as verification (i take no position on that) and the thinking on "Malky" changes to show the term is taken seriously enough for a mention in Malkavian.
