The result of the debate was keep. Note that I deleted Form (philosophy). If you want to fork it off, that's fine, but you've got to fix all the incoming links to Form so that they go to the right place. howcheng {chat} 19:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Form

Protracted dicdef. --Smack (talk) 05:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I see no reason to delete the topic as a whole, which deserves a substantive treatment in more than a dictionary format. That doesn't say that it can't be improved. Then again, what article can't? NB. What Links to Form

PS. According to the Guide to Deletion, I do not think that Smack should have moved content to Form (philosophy) without prior discussion, and without preserving history and talk pages. Is this correct? It seems like a better way to proceed would have been to discuss the proposed reorganization first. Jon Awbrey 05:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. WTF!? — goethean ॐ 18:35, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Really, if people wrote a wikilink to form and saw it as a redlink, they'd think "what the bloody fuck?" JIP | Talk 19:00, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Protracted dicdefs are exactly what encyclopedias are for. Cnwb 00:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
