As it stands, no more than a dicdef, and I can't see that it can be anything more. Already defined in Wiktionary. Emeraude (talk) 13:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. WP:WINAD is policy, and to expand on this would be original research.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 14:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Kakofonous (talk) 17:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep satisfies WP:Notability as it is a well established term. While I do not see this article ever being large, I do see it becoming a concise but well-written one in the future. Zidel333 (talk) 18:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

• That's exactly the point. A well-established term belongs in a dictionary.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 22:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. Definitely has potential beyond a dictionary definition (which it currently is). Mostlyharmless (talk) 02:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

• Could you please provide some evidence that this is the case without violating core content policies WP:NOR, WP:V and WP:NOT#IINFO?--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 07:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

• delete dicdefs, no matter how notable, belong in a dictionary not an encyclopedia. Travellingcari (talk) 20:01, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
• delete - def only. will never be encyclopedic. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 20:03, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. There's a separate project for dictionary definitions you know. That's where definitions of 'terms' belong, however notable.--Michig (talk) 20:55, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and Wiktionary already has an article regarding this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cuyler91093 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
