[edit] Cerol

A dictionary definition in Portuguese: not appropriate for an English encyclopedia. I also can't find its meaning in a Portuguese-English dictionary, which suggests that it may be some kind of dialect or slang. Sietse 11:04, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

  • I don't regognize the language. RJFJR 17:26, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
    • Portuguese. It looks to me like a dictionary definition - the act of "cerolizing", whatever that is. --Diderot 18:02, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete as dicdef. The second line goes Confusion, tumult, incommodance, generalised disorder... Looks like were dealing with Brazilian slang, for which en:Wikipedia is not really the place. Physchim62 21:08, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete ASAP. If kept (by some miracle), it needs to be translated into English. Moncrief 22:23, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. 1) This is the English Wikipedia, 2) Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Carnildo 22:59, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Strong delete, unless there is a Portugese Wiktionary to transfer it to. Rlquall 02:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, dicdef (and doesn't even mention the most interesting definition of the term, a solution of crushed glass and glue used on a kite's string to be able to cut another kite's string, as described on kite flying). --cesarb 00:55, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to http://pt.wiktionary.org/wiki/Cerol (which doesn't exist yet) and then delete here. --Angr/_comhrá 06:29, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
