[edit] Bags

Wikipedia is not a Wikitionary - Ratarsed 20:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Redirect to wiktionary. Pls note, there is no need to list this on AfD, just redirect it. Plus, who knows, maybe someone will make it into something encyclopedic one day, like backpack. Themindset 20:51, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Wiktionary. We can't do interwiki redirects on things like this. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 21:47, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I think the Australian/NZ usage is interesting if it can be verified. Irongargoyle 22:36, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
    • If you are interested in usages of words, then you are a lexicographer, and Wiktionary will welcome you. Wiktionary takes all of the word usage information that people have. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Dictionary articles are about words. An encyclopaedia article would be about a person, place, concept, event, or thing. Please name the person, place, concept, event, or thing that this article is about. Uncle G 00:48, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - I'm relatively sure it's used in some parts of the UK, too, although actually verifying it is beyond me, unless "my brother uses it all the time" counts :P BigHaz 23:10, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I recall its use in the UK when I was a kid 50 odd years ago. --Bduke 06:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I can confirm that it is used in Australia as claimed. The Macquarie Dictionary defines it as "--verb (t) (bagsed, bagsing)

(usually in children's speech) to make a claim for: I bags sitting on the outside. Also, Especially Qld, bar. [third person singular of BAG to put into a bag (as of a hunting trophy), used for all persons]" I bags suggesting that we can transwiki it. Capitalistroadster 05:55, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Transwiki to Wiktionary. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 09:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Move to Wiktionary. --Roisterer 11:25, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, it's already on Wiktionary: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bags
  • Comment can an admin please just use the {{Widirect|bags}} template and end this already. Themindset 22:50, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
