[edit] deleterious

Apparently this is a recreation of a previously deleted dictionary definition. Durova 21:51, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

• Then speedy as per CSD:G4... I've added db-repost tag to the article. Jamie 03:49, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete then. --Cyde Weys _talk^contribs 04:15, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• GAH! User:Zoe speedied it, per CSD G4. Then User:Cyde recreates it as a redirect to Mutation. How does that make sense? Jamie 07:36, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• "Deleterious mutation" is the only encyclopedic context that deleterious is used in. I suspect most people looking for "deleterious" are actually looking for "deleterious mutations". If they are looking for a strict dictionary definition then, well, Wikipedia is not a dictionary! --Cyde Weys _talk^contribs 00:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] deleterious

This is another adjective with no obvious noun target for a redirect and with no scope for expansion into an encyclopaedia article. Wiktionary had had Wiktionary:deleterious for 1 month prior to this article's creation. Uncle G 11:29, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)

• Delete, agree. -- Infrogmation 17:53, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, already in Wiktionary. Megan1967 22:58, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Deleterious. Radiant_* 09:48, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
