Civis

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Wikitionary already has an article for wikt:civis, and there's nothing in this article worth moving over there, in my estimation (e.g. the article here contains patent nonsense such as "However, it also implied a Roman Citizen, as contrasted to a military person", suggesting that Roman soldiers were never citizens). The article could be used to discuss Roman citizenship in general, but we already have an article at Roman citizenship for that. I am open to being persuaded that the article should either be redirected there or to wikt:civis instead of deletion, but I don't see any real benefit in doing either.

~~Roll back to the January 2008 version, which was a redirect to Civis media prize.~~ As others have noted, the word qua word is handled on Wiktionary. Cnilep (talk) 00:53, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The reason I didn't suggest that is because there are a whole bunch of potential plausible redirects here that the page could be set to (Civís (R to diacritics), Civish (R from misspelling), Civis romanus sum, Civis Center Timișoara, Civis (surname)); I don't think that any of them are obviously going to be what people searching for "Civis" alone are looking for.

In that case, turn it into a disambiguation page with short definition and link to Wiktionary, as well as those potentially ambiguous links. Civis media prize can be included as 'See also'. Cnilep (talk) 03:34, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
