A list of dicdevs. Move to Wiktionary? Wyllium 20:08, 2004 Oct 13 (UTC)

  • Delete, definitely, and do not transwiki to Wiktionary. These are just words and their definitions, supposedly useful for people in the UK doing local history. Well, none of those terms are that obscure, IMO. As an 18th c. scholar, I've hit every one of them multiple times, and I'm hardly doing local history or in the UK. They're all terms every English speaker should know, but they're not unique or encyclopedic. Geogre 00:51, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete.Each of the terms deserves its own entry. And many, if not most, of them are of wider application than "UK Local", not to mention a ridiculous restriction to "History". Mikkalai 07:10, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep glossaries of terms are encyclopedic. Mark Richards 16:25, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
They are? What's a dictionary for, then, or a Glossary of? Geogre 17:09, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I'm confused. Here is a link to Encarta's article on Flaconry, which contains a glossary of terms, here is our policy stating that glossaries are ok to include, here is a list of glossaries that we already have. Obviously a glossary is not the same utility as a dictionary. Collections of specialist terms are entirely suitable for Wikipedia. Mark Richards 20:16, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Intrigue 20:33, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Interesting glossary. -- User:Docu

[edit] Definition of the cathedral close

I think of the term as referring to the physically contiguous land and all buildings and outbuildings of a cathedral. Sarum blue 01:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
