[edit] spannungsbogen

This article cannot possibly be more than a dicdef. Herbert uses it once in a quotation in Dune defining the term and attributing that quality to the Fremen, but never mentions it again. It already has an article at wiktionary. And besides isn't it actually a German word? Deepak 02:39, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, wiktionaried non-english dicdef. It is a German word, though, for "arc of tension" or "arc of suspense". I've seen it used to describe physical arches under tension, or the suspense of a story. The use in Dune is trivial, however. Sandstein 06:22, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Already extant in another Wiki. A one-off use in one book isn't really enough to justify an encyclopedic entry.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  08:30, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
