[edit] Debunk

I think this can never be more than a dictionary defenition, and wiktionary already has an entry for it. Elpaw 16:48, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Do Not Delete It's still up to you guys, but I added a bit about the usage of the term and the etymology. I can also add a link to Wiktionary, which I think I'll do right now. Thanks.
  • Delete -- but without objection, I think this can be speedied, rather than VfD'd.. Chiacomo 16:50, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Sorry, I'm new round here. Elpaw 16:54, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Great, welcome to wikipedia -- thanks for being bold! I'm not an admin, but I'm going to change the tag to a speedy delete if you (or no one else) cares. --Chiacomo 17:08, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete is fine, but I'd like to redirect it to theory or something similarly appropriate. Radiant_* 17:28, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
    • Shall we mark it for redirect? --Chiacomo 18:07, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless someone comes up with a sensible redirect. This is an encyclopedic topic, but the current article is not a useful start. Kappa 18:25, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • KEEP new article, thank you Aristides. Kappa 23:18, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, still a dictdef. RickK 23:42, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
    • Even if you think it's still a dictdef, it has potential for expansion to cover notable cases of debunking, methods used, and people who do it. Kappa 00:30, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
      • Well, that would certaily be at Debunking, wouldn't it? And surely there would be a more descriptive title? RickK 04:13, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Debunker. That's a stub that could do with expansion. Megan1967 04:57, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Good find Megan, might be best to merge both and move them to RickK's idea of debunking. Kappa 07:05, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • As the root verb, this wants to be Keeped and debunker merged and redirected here. Purely a semantic point. --Simon Cursitor 07:21, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
    • I think Wikipedia standard would be to put this at Debunking. 66.60.159.190 16:21, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
