  • Expand or delete doesn't seem all that notable. Phyesalis 02:26, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Expand with sources and additional content but its notable in the fact this technique is used across the world in daily basis. scope_creep 17:05, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Currently the veriest definition of a dictionary definition, but has potential as an expandable article. Vafthrudnir 22:40, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Charest-Papagno … has gone so far as to coin terms—"cosmecare" and "desairology" (from the words "deceased" and "hair")—to describe the brave new worlds she has been carving out since she first published her Handbook of Desairology for Cosmetologists Servicing Funeral Homes in 1980.

  • Delete - or at best move it to Wikitionary. Pete Fenelon 01:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless someone actually expands article before AfD closes; otherwise, this is a dicdef. --A. B. 06:44, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
