  • Icosasphere dictdef. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 05:58, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • QA/QC Dicdef. I have no idea what would go in an actual article about it, though that doesn't mean one can't be written. The Literate Engineer 04:57, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Italian Brazilian. dictdef. Grutness...wha? 03:23, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
    • This isn't an idiom. This is just an ordinary combination of Italian and Brazilian. Wiktionary only takes such things if they are idiomatic. Uncle G 17:47, 2005 May 13 (UTC)
  • Ghosting (prison) short dicdef, should be moved to Wiktionary, maybe encyclopedic if expanded.--Dmcdevit 21:45, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • The article is now ghost detainee and seems to be expanding to discuss the concept, not the word. Uncle G 00:20, 2005 Mar 28 (UTC)
  • Archive - largely definition. 81.155.168.239 20:30, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

    • Expanded to give better known meaning of term (and moved to more normal spelling (exy). Grutness|hello?
  • List_of_street_names_of_drugs - nothing more than a list of slang names. Cacycle 21:05, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Missense mutation - information on this page is largely redundant with that in point mutation and mutation articles; the page could be expanded to include mechanisms of creating missense mutations and the cellular mechansisms that respond to this type of mutation but not others . Courtland {2005-01-27 USA ~9:30 PM EST}
    • Not a dicdef. --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

        • Appears sufficiently developed. --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Nearly all the words linked from List of German expressions in English (anything that doesn't have more than a short definitional page).
