WP:WINAD. A dicdef and I see no potential for growth. Delete. --Dmcdevit 2 July 2005 19:34 (UTC)
- Keep, more than a dicdef. Could be expanded to give methods of construction, techniques used for installation, history of design etc. Kappa 2 July 2005 19:57 (UTC)
- Not that I didn't expect your vote, but aren't we voting on what it is now, not what you thnk it might become? --Dmcdevit 2 July 2005 20:01 (UTC)
- Then why did you mention you see no potential for expansion? Anyway there is need for expansion here, but the current article provides a good start. Kappa 2 July 2005 20:10 (UTC)
- Well, I didn't, and I'm still not sure I do, but I may be wrong. But my question was whether one is supposed to vote based on the article's content, or based on the potential of the article's title? --Dmcdevit 2 July 2005 20:15 (UTC)
- The criteria for deletion generally point to the question of whether an article on the topic in question is inherently unencyclopedic, irrespective of content. A vanity page, for example, may never be encyclopedic even if the author manages to include 20 page of information about every detail of his life. A one-line article on a federal appellate judge (of which we have had a few), on the other hand, should clearly be kept because the topic is notable, and there is indeed potential for expansion. -- BD2412 talk July 2, 2005 20:30 (UTC)

- Delete unless significantly expanded before VFD ends. Radiant_>|< July 2, 2005 22:38 (UTC)
- Delete Should be moved to Wiktionary, as I believe as has already been done. The notion that this expanded and made to suit Wikipedia is implausible. --Alex12 3 3 July 2005 12:39 (UTC)
