[edit] In lieu of flowers

In lieu of flowers (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable phrase, fails WP:NOT#DICT. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Redfarmer (talk) 23:51, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Why are we defining half a sentence? "In lieu of flowers" never appears on its own - something is to be given or done in lieu of the flowers. Why not any arbitrary sentence? It seems logical to assume the author doesn't know what "lieu" means and the article attempts to define it partly in context. That's (a) an odd thing to do, and (b) what a dictionary is for.

• Delete. It's either a dictionary entry or a how-to, but either way it doesn't belong. --Orlady (talk) 00:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
• (ec) Delete per nom. This looks to me like a copy of something concocted by a florists' organization: "The family may say that they don't want flowers, but hey! send some anyway." Deor (talk) 00:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
