  • Keep, important topic in linguistics. Kappa 23:13, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Kappa's votes are idiosyncratic. RickK 04:28, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • The origins and consequences of idiosyncratic votes actions, like idiosyncratic word uses, are part of the sum of human knowledge. Kappa 08:00, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. "Idiosyncratic usage" is not a technical term of linguistics. --Angr/comhrá 06:10, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
    • "Idiosyncratic" by itself is. Kappa 08:00, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
      • I'm not sure "idiosyncratic" is a technical term of linguistics. Linguists use the word, but I woudln't say they use it with any specialized meaning distinct from its everyday meaning. --Angr/comhrá 06:06, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, redir to idiosyncratic. Radiant_* 09:18, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • Um, at the moment, idiosyncratic is a redirect to idiosyncratic usage. (Up until eleven days ago, idiosyncratic was just a blank page.) Anyway, isn't there a policy or semi-policy that article names should be nouns, not adjectives? --Angr/comhrá 06:06, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as well as idiosyncratic inclusionists. :) Gmaxwell 21:33, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
