[edit] Shieling

According to the OED "shieling" is a Scottish term for "a piece of pasture to which cattle may be driven for grazing" or "a hut of rough construction erected on or near such a piece of pasture". It doesn't seem to be any special type of "pastoral behavior or custom" (and even if it were, this article doesn't tell us what it is!). I don't think this article, currently an orphan, could ever be more than a dicdef. Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 14:55, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. A dicdef. A dialectal one at that. / Peter ^Isotalo 15:59, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki - it's a type of rough shelter. Check this article for details, and here for a Shieling song.Vizjim 16:02, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Can't even be a DicDef unless it's accurate. Right now it's just nonsense --Outlander 17:20, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
