[edit] 24/7

Moved to Wiktionary as requested (wiktionary:Twenty-four seven). ral315 20:32, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)

• The edit history has not been transferred, and this page is not listed at Wikipedia:Transwiki log or Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Transwiki log. See m:transwiki for the process. Keep. Uncle G 20:51, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)
• Keep, this article has potential for expansion including the effect on staff health and safety, legal conditions and logistics. Kappa 14:59, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, in case someone didn't know what 24/7 meant they could come here. Although we expect everyone should know this some people may not. It is not copyright infringed and the website isn't having space issues. Although perhaps it should be moved to Wiktionary, but unfortanutly no one goes there in comparison to wikipedia.

* Delete - The edit history has been moved. This has about .1% chance of every becoming more than what it is, and if it every did I doubt they'd use 24/7 as the article name. Kevin Rector 17:36, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

• I don't see the potential for expansion that Kappa sees. All of the instances of this contraction in other articles could be replaced by the full phrase without loss (and indeed to the benefit of the article concerned in a couple of cases). And articles such as shopping hours are better disposed to discuss particular legal concerns. Weak delete. Uncle G 18:40, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
• Delete. Dicdef, with no encyclopedic potential. —ExplorerCDT 02:43, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
