[edit] Off-line

Off-line (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Already transwikied. De-prodded with comment "article can be expanded beyond dicdef." Can it? (No opinion yet, let's see what folks can come up with) Pan Dan 03:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

  • delete as per nom. I can't imagine a useful entry for this. What's there is a dictionary entry, which is all the term really needs, surely, and Wikipedia isn't the place for it.Mister Pe 05:12, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete because wp is not a dictionary, I would suggest transwiki-ing to wikitionary but it's been done so delete it! James086Talk | Contribs 05:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. JIP | Talk 06:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, by all means, expand if you can, but I think it's not possible to get past dicdef status with this. - Mgm|(talk) 12:47, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • It is possible. Rename to on-line and off-line, per the introduction of the article. Keep. Uncle G 12:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Wow. Thanks Uncle G for a beautifully written and sourced (and, to me, interesting) article. Yet another topic many of us (including me) didn't think an encyclopedia article could be written about, until you got to work! Pan Dan 15:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment We now have the mind-boggling space-time twisting paradox that, theoretically, Online could be kept but Off-line deleted, or vice versa, yet they're the same article. Ahhhhhhhh! Because I do not want the universe to come to an end (yet), and because Uncle G's rewrite is a completely different article from either of its parents, I suggest speedy close of both of these AfD discussions.

  • Speedy Delete as per above. ~ EdBoy[p]\[m]/[c] 21:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep the article as revised and moved by Uncle G. In addition, I have two further recommendations, made below. AubreyEllenShomo 21:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect — The term is too peopular to delete. Zntrip 02:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as rewritten. Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
