[edit] Canadianism

• Transwiki to Wiktionary. —Simetrical (talk) 04:44, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary or expand on it. I'm sure there is an interesting background behind Canadianism, the problem is whether anybody will research it. Croat Canuck 05:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary. Perhaps a redirect to Culture of Canada could work as well? - Mgm|^(talk) 12:57, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary. HistoryBA 14:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand, or possible redirect to Culture of Canada, as per MacGyverMagic WilyD 14:26, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki. Do not redirect or keep. It's a straight-up definition and rightfully so: "Ottoman" is an example of a Canadianism. Eusebeus 17:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary. Wikipedia is not a dictionary -- p_b1999 ^{(Talk|Contribution)} 01:06, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
• Per the article history, this already existed as a redirect to Canadian English until December 1, at which point somebody created what stands there now. Correct that it's essentially a dicdef (and I'm not sure it can ever be more than that), but I'd be more in favour of recreating the redirect that already existed before December than deleting.

• Do both. Redirect to Canadian English (as per Bearcat) and transwiki if need be. Luigizanasi 05:57, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Culture of Canada. The term deals with customs not language. This is likely what the editor of 1 December meant to do. -- Perfecto 18:33, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to Culture of Canada. Canadianism 04:35, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep!? Hello! I was initially responsible for changing this redirect: my intention was/is to add to it and treat it as a subarticle of sorts for some of the top-level notions in Culture of Canada, Canadian English (which can be pruned and also has a section on 'Britishisms'), Canadian French, Canadian slang (huge!), et al. A la dictionary (etc.): the term deals with customs and language, and the spartan definition (as is) is only meant as a placeholder until I can muster the time and cull and collate the other articles for germane information.
