[edit] handout

I should have nominated this straightaway. Wiktionary had had Wiktionary:handout for 21 months when this article was created. I think that there's not much to say about handouts except that they are handed out. Uncle G 03:09, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)

• Comment: I've rewritten the page. Though it needs more work and more rigor (well, any at all) I've indicated how I see the page covering an encyclopedic subject. Demi ^T/_C 08:39, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
• Keep rewritten page and expand. Mgm|^(talk) 09:35, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, thanks Demi Kappa 11:45, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Well done Demi for the work on the article. I am concerned about the current trend of nominating nouns which have encyclopedic potential. Just because Wiktionary has an article is no reason why Wikipedia shouldn't as long as it covers the topic in a way appropriate for an encyclopedia. Capitalistroadster 20:35, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • You may also be concerned at the trend of transiki-ing nouns with encyclopedic potential and then dumping them in CSD. I believe this is being done by a bot. Kappa 01:35, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
