[edit] Gettone

Dictdef (and non English at that). Complete article is: Gettone means "token" in Italian (whether telephone or else). Propose Transwiki and delete. RJFJR 01:23, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

• Transwiki then delete -- Jonel | Speak 01:48, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete foreign dicdef. JamesBurns 04:05, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. This article should be more than just a dicdef. Gettone also refers to a specific type of Italian phone booth token that was used as a means of payment interchangably with (I think) the 100 lire coin. It's known as a typical Italian item even outside Italy. Martg76 09:37, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• • I expanded the article a bit. Martg76 09:46, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep the rewrite. Italian phone booths are a good article topic. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:53, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm quite surprised it was known outside Italy, anyway I added a couple of informations. I know I can't vote hope adding a comment here is not inappropriate. Lacurus 12:56, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep now that it's clear that this is a cultural phenomenon and not just a word that means "token". Good work, Martg76 and Lacurus. -- Jonel | Speak 14:40, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep- cultural value. Gettone is also used in Toronto to refer to foosball, by the way. Larineso 16:05, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment- Maybe the title can be changed to Gettone Telefonico, sice gettone has another meaning (see above)
• Keep the rewrite.-Splash 16:28, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Italian (recent) history.--Poli 02:25, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable token. Israel used to use such phone tokens as well. Klonimus 04:34, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
