WP:NOT#DICTIONARY - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. A definition of this word already exists on Wiktionary. JamieS93 01:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Strong delete - per nom – Obento Musubi (C • G • S) 01:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong delete per nom. I don't see that this can have anything added beyond the definition. Anturiaethwr 01:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. per nom - already in wikitionary Fattyjwoods (Push my button) 01:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Soft redirect to Wiktionary as plausible search term for a dictionary definition. -- saberwyn 02:29, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Per below, whatever works to get this pointing to Wiktionary. -- saberwyn 06:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete; a soft redirect per Saberwyn would be useful for users who don't know much about Wikipedia, but are looking for information., but it should be at discombobulate, the present tense. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 02:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Comment: I agree. If a soft wiktionary redirect really should be done, it would be at discombobulate, perhaps redirecting discombobulated to discombobulate. At Wiktionary, like any other dictionary, discombobulate is the main term, not the past tense form of it. --JamieS93 03:15, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom.
  • Redirect per saberwyn/JMcC. It's helpful to point new users to wiktionary, and I don't think doing so violates policy at all. Bfigura (talk) 04:55, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom.--Berig (talk) 07:42, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
