[edit] Latin mnemonics

Latin mnemonics (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A list of mnemonics for remembering Latin is not encyclopedic. Prod declined. Mangostar (talk) 13:42, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Wikipedia is not a list of mnemonics. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 13:53, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Agreed, Wikipedia is not a list of mnemonics. --SimpleParadox 17:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - what I see instead is a well referenced article about the bits of subliterary verse and oral lore that once were a major part of most educated Europeans' and American's upbringing, and as such continue to resonate in literature and song. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 19:38, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, article has been heavily expanded since nom with substantial sourcing. It still doesn't have much structure as an article but that's an editing issue. --Dhartung | Talk 21:47, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. I looked, and I still didn't find the part of WP:NOT that says "Wikipedia is not a list of mnemonics". Where exactly is that located? Mandsford (talk) 01:27, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I have no idea what state this was in when the AFD was initiated, but as of now, this is NOT merely a list of mnemonics, it is an article about a concept that clearly exists outside of wikipedia. Well researched and well referenced, I see no reason for this article to be deleted. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 17:30, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Jayron. Transformed since nom. Johnbod (talk) 14:39, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
