The result of the debate was KEEP. And, by being BOLD, I shall redirect to clothing. Splash 00:19, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Accoutrement

• Keep Can be expanded beyond a dic-def. It is from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, and was only in existence for a few minutes before the vfd tag was added. Give it time. Sonic Mew | talk to me 00:05, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Nominator abstains I honestly don't see how it could be expanded. I'll abstain and let others decide. --Bayyoc 00:31, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Why not a redirect to clothing--it's present-day meaning isn't that separate. All the 1911 brittanica managed was a dicdef--I doubt we'll be able to do better. Meelar (talk) 14:28, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I think this could concievably be expanded. It's a stub, yes, but being a stub is no reason to be deleted. Fieari 23:41, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
• It could be expanded if someone knew the history of military accoutrements. What did ancient Roman soldiers carry with them for first aid, mess kit, emergency food, etc. vs. soldiers of the 1800, 1900 and today. RustySpear
