Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Liking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was ambiguous.

The arguments are about equally split between "delete" (with the dominant argument being that it's already in Wiktionary) and "keep" - that it is expandable. Noting that the article was not expanded during the discussion period nor since and that the current version remains a mere dictionary definition (something explicitly listed on What Wikipedia is not), I am going to exercise my discretion to override the strict vote count and delete this version. This decision should not be considered precedent if the article is recreated as a substantial and encyclopedic article on the topic. Rossami (talk) 23:17, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Liking

  • Maybe wiktionary? Not encyclopediac. kweee 19:23, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Could be in wiktionary, but affiliated with "like", as a form of the verb "to like", rather than its own entry.EvilPhoenix
  • Delete. There is already a more defined like. This isn't necessary. Nestea 20:47, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, liking is a notable phenomenon, and like is full of other definitions. Kappa 00:23, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge/redir to like] per Kappa. Radiant_* 09:18, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep IF cleanup/expand. Liking is a notable topic in social psychology and this article could be expanded into such, which I'd do now if I weren't falling asleep at the keyboard. Marblespire 08:24, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete or redirect. El_C 23:11, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Kappa and Marblespire. —Markaci 2005-05-21 T 17:13 Z
