[edit] Just a dictionary definition?

Is this article going to be expanded by anyone soon or is it going to stay like it is, i.e. a dictionary definition and nothing more? If there's nothing more to say about this subject, we should consider deleting this article, since Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Just a thought. Jayden54 19:14, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I've added the {{prod}} tag to the article, which means it'll be deleted in 5 days if no-one objects. Let me know (here or on my user talk) if you have any objections. Jayden54 11:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I think Mahalo is one of those words that have additional meaning beyond a dictionary definition--like [aloha]. I will try and build it out. JasonCalacanis 17:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

That's fine, as long as the Mahalo.com article doesn't get deleted for lack of notability. I've left a message explaining how to help strengthen the article at Talk:Mahalo.com. Jehochman ^Talk 22:59, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Isn't "Mahalo" more of a concept than a simple translation to the English "Thank you"? For instance, I do not think Mahalo would be a word used to say thank you to someone you did not have a warm gratitude for. Conversly, in English we say Thank You to people whom we think are jerks. - Luck91, Mahalo :-)
