There is no evidence in the article (or searchable on the web) that "Old Time" means "turn of the century". Since the claim is not sourced, the article, which is based on the claim, should be removed. Dan Bloch (talk) 21:50, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

- Delete as SYNTH. Mccapra (talk) 05:51, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - per above. The entire concept of the article, that the term specifically refers to a specific time period, is completely unsourced, making this WP:SYNTH. The only sources are for the "Popular Culture" section, and not only are none of them from reliable sources, they don't actually define the term in any meaningful way.

- Delete as WP:OR. "Old-time" and "old-timey" just refer to an earlier era, not necessarily the specific earlier era the article states, and there's no sources provided that address the term as specifically referring to that era. Egsan Bacon (talk) 18:34, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
