[edit] Pannage

When I saw this I wasn't sure whether to {{nonsense}} it, laugh, or ignore it. I'm 99% sure it's a joke, but still am not certain enough to call for a speedy. Stifle 12:46, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep It's in the OED 'the New Forest there is a period called Pannage time, when the cottagers have a right, for six weeks, to turn out their swine to enjoy the harvest under the trees.' Dlyons493 13:09, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Weird but true, the inhabitants of the New Forest had six traditional rights. Pannage was one of them. Bevo74 13:13, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Thanks very much for erring on the side of caution and not speedying it. - Mgm|(talk) 13:49, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • This is why nonsense is not a speedy deletion criterion. Only patent nonsense (which this article is not) is speedily deletable. Uncle G 14:11, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
    • And indeed it is why I did not mark it for speedy deletion. Stifle 22:33, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per reasons above. Incidentally, it didn't strike me as so odd - but tagging and reverting garbage on the Wiki has desensitized me somewhat. PJM 15:21, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep A very real, and very ancient tradition, well worth a page - MPF 20:27, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep per discussions. Close Vfd. Zordrac 01:40, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Okay, I'm convinced. I withdraw the nomination and it can be speedily closed, although cleanup/stubbing is warranted. Stifle 22:33, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
