[edit] Confessio

This is a dictionary entry. It is the definition and an example. This has been transwikied, and should be deleted as the last step in that process. Kevin Rector 17:21, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)

• Transwiki and delete as dictdef. Katefan0 19:23, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, has potential for expansion, like what was in the Confessio of St. Patrick and other examples, when they started, if they are still used, what their purpose is, how they have evolved, etc. Kappa 21:07, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment if a person wanted to write about what was in the Confessio of St. Patrick it should go into Confessio of St. Patrick. How about, when someone wants to write about when confessios started being written, if they are still used, what their purpose is/was, how they have evolved, etc. they can start an article at that time. As it stands it is a dictionary definition (and Wikipedia is not a dictionary) with one example (which does not make it not a dictionary definition). Kevin Rector 22:29, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Current content is a mere dicdef and has been that way since this orphan article was created on 8 Jan 05. However, I can see a possibility that it might someday turn into a real article. I'm inclined to vote keep for now. If it is not expanded in a reasonable time, renominate without prejudice. Rossami (talk) 23:16, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Inclined to merge. This is just the Latin word for confession; other works properly titled confessio, such as the Confessions of Saint Augustine, are Englished that way normally. Unless someone wants to argue that confessio now is taken to represent a literary genre of its own, I would merge this data at confession, and add other notable memoirs called "confessions" there, like Rousseau's and Tolstoy's, as well. -- Smerdis of Tlön 00:07, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Confession. Megan1967 04:58, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• I think the idea of merging with Confession. Kevin Rector 14:24, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
• I think this could be made into a decent encyclopedia article, but this usually doesn't happen without a nudge, and the best nudge is usually a VfD. If it's expanded by the end of the voting period then keep. If not, delete, but keep it as a redlink and see if that prompts anyone to create a full article. Redlinks are good like that. -R. fiend 23:06, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect unless substantially expanded. -Sean Curtin 02:11, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
