[edit] Galoot

Completing a VfD started by Matt.whitby. Looks like a candidate for Wiktionary. I abstain. Tobycat 18:24, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, but make it less like a dictionary entry. There is relevant information on the hobby of collecting used handtools which is not necessarily dictionary content. --InformationalAnarchist 18:27, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary. As for collecting, the phenomenon is certainly notable, as a type of human behavior. However, specific types of collecting are not, IMO, individually encyclopedic. Or do we think collecting vaseline glass or porcelain pigs is encyclopedic? Ken 03:41, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Galoot is dictdef. An article on just the Internet community, "Handtool Galoot" or some such, would encyclopedic. Peter Grey 15:33, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Wiktionary it's essentially a dicdef. JamesBurns 03:15, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. This seems like more than a dic-def to me.--Pharos 00:55, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
