[edit] Thick and thin (phrase)

Thick and thin (phrase) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The creator moved this from a perfectly decent disambiguation page here. It will never have enough substance for a stand-alone article. Wiktionary is not a home since it is a phrase not a word and the Wikiquote would only be suitable if a specific quote is found (the example is just made up). I see no merit in a redirect since the article title will never be the search term. If deleted, I will restore the previous version of Thick and thin. Delete. TerriersFan 01:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment You created the page Thick and thin, someone changed it, and now you want Thick and thin (phrase) deleted so you can restore your original version? Just revert. But now it's here, Delete. The disambiguation page isn't much better either, there is little point in creating a disambiguation page when no articles by that name even exist yet. Croxley 03:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• Move to Wiktionary Just a quick reply to the nom, but the number 1 bullet pointed policy of Wiktionary is that "it is a dictionary, thesaurus and phrase-book. So a phrase like "thick and thin" is perfectly acceptable as a Wiktionary entry. Dugwiki 17:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:WINAD after the article has been transwikied. Already tagged as such. As for the disambig page, a selective revert to a previous version should do. -- Black Falcon 05:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
• It has now been transwikied. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 16:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
