Article listed on WP:VFD Jul 7 to Jul 15 2004, consensus was to keep. Discussion:

Dicdef for now. Not sure what kind of article could be written about this. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 23:14, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • The way it was, it was a dictdef. It still kind of is, but I added a section on the use of the word in Rhetoric, so it's fairly different from when you nominated it. That said, I abstain (because I have a vested interest and no ethos now). Geogre 00:37, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. Fascinating, and now very well written. Nice turn of phrase above, too. Andrewa 12:00, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, there are volumes on this topic, it can definately be expanded. siroχo 01:06, Jul 8, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep: an important semi-technical term in the social sciences that needs an explanation. Smerdis of Tlön 03:37, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep: The m:Deletionism tendency seems to run a little too free perhaps, where Cleanup would do better. -Stevertigo 17:29, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, very encyclopedic topic. -Sean Curtin 23:54, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Nice and informative. Aris Katsaris 17:05, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC) (Vote moved here from vfd main space by Graham ☺ | Talk)

yes, sorry my edit may not have been first class; feel free to change it, or change it back, and I may try again, more lucidly; the point is that the variants εθος vs. ηθος have to be discussed [1], I think it's all far from obvious, but I just have Frisk as a handy reference at the moment. dab () 21:54, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
