  • Delete, dicdef -- Zwilson 19:42, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Not a vote: Tom is best known as a name, surely, and as such the article may be expanded (as seems to be the trend with Eric and John) to include famous/important/articled people with that name. violet/riga (t) 19:58, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Ack! That sounds like the beginning of a bad trend I think we do *not* want to encourage. Delete --Improv 20:08, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Certainly not a delete. Also a disambig for tom-tom.--Samuel J. Howard 20:27, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep and disambiguate. Agree that it's not a deletion candidate. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 22:20, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: I think it is a candidate. Tom-toms are tom-toms and won't be searched by "tom." All the Thomases of the world known only by the name Tom? How many is that? So that leaves us with the dictdef tom turkey. Geogre 00:20, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Geogre, check out the article tom-tom and you will see that a tom-tom is frequently refered to as a "tom".--Samuel J. Howard 02:48, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
