[edit] Ink Trace

Pointless; we might as well have a "ASCII/Unicode Text on White Backgroud" article. Borderline BJAODN material. Szyslak 19:52, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Keep or transwiki to Wikipedia. This is a valid term, has potential for growth and expansion, and is in need of cleanup. See also: http://home.howstuffworks.com/pen5.htm -- GRider\^talk 20:19, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Change of vote: transwiki to Wiktionary, do not keep on Wikipedia. GRider\^talk 00:27, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Pointless breakout of some fairly technical term which makes no sense outside of its context. The example cited by GRider is not an example of the term as defined in the article, but merely an ordinary English phrase containing the two words "ink" and "trace" in their ordinary dictionary meanings.

• Delete. Dicdef of a very specialized term. --Carnildo 20:39, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Concur. Delete Radiant! 12:27, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

• Um, yeah. Since it's incomprehensible, I don't really know how to vote. So why am I writing this? RickK 23:25, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Concur with RickK. Barno 23:52, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Note that the second definition of Patent nonsense is "Stuff that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irremediably confused that no intelligent person can be expected to try to make head or tail of it." Dpbsmith (talk) 00:26, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup and Transwiki. Megan1967 00:13, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Useless definition. Delete, don't move to Wiktionary. - Mike Rosoft 17:03, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
