[edit] Lodging

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

This at best is a dicdef, at medium is a list of wikilinks, and at worst a spam magnet. SarekOfVulcan 20:31, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Transwiki - It's an expression of note in the UK, especially amongst the many anecdotes of variety performers over the years. It has a place, just maybe not in the encyclopaedia section. It's close though as the article could be filled out I suppose. --WebHamster 20:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - This is the central place for general info about lodging. It is clearly not a dicdef, as that would only explain what the word means. It is also a useful source and target of links for convenient navigation between lodging-related pages. The page was split off from sleep at some people's request. Alternatively we could create Category:Lodging.--Patrick 01:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep for disambiguation purposes per Patrick. Crypticfirefly 03:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:DICDEF and OR. The only thing that can be sourced here is the definition of lodging...and for that go back to the beginning. i said 04:09, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. This page has enough mainspace incoming links. Can be expanded too to get away from the current dictdef-ness. If not, this can still be turned into a disambiguation page. – sgeureka t•c 11:17, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as notable term and as a disambiguation page per Patrick et al. Bearian 17:41, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, unsourced and therefore just essay-like original research. This should be a category (populated by articles such as Hotel, Motel, Hostel, Dormitory, etc.), not an article. --MCB —Preceding unsigned comment added by MCB (talk • contribs) 06:44, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete dicdef, definition can be thrown on the top of the category page. Nuke it.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 03:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
