[edit] turgid

There's no scope for metamorphosis of this dictionary article about an adjective (that Wiktionary had already had for 4 months before the creation of this article) into an encyclopaedia article about a concept/person/place/thing, and no obvious place for a redirection (oedema isn't quite apt, considering that many of the ordinary dictionary uses of "turgid" within Wikipedia articles are in a metaphorical sense — describing prose or football playing as "turgid", for example).

• Delete. This is just a dictionary article. The only "turgid" thing I can think of is Turgidson in Strangelove. Jackson 17:13, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
