Girlfriend

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --fvw* 05:33, 2004 Nov 28 (UTC)

  • I think it is a bit more than a dictionary entry, but if not, why not put it on Wiktionary:Girlfriend? Brianjd
  • Keep: More than dicdef, complements the article on Boyfriend nicely. (how ironic?) Wifki 07:13, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep agree with Wifki - Drstuey 13:02, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Another example of the deletion mania, making everybody lose time on futile debates. --Pgreenfinch 13:08, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • You only lose time if you spend time on a page you hate and enter comments designed to rile people up. Geogre 14:58, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
      • Oops, I'm so sorry I hurted you about the page you love. What about a deletefriend article ? ;-)). --Pgreenfinch 16:26, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Topic is encyclopedic, not just a word. --Hemanshu 18:12, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. This expands on the Wiktionary definition in a way that Wiktionary can't. --Idont Havaname 18:38, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep; too expandible just to consign to the Wiktionary. Samaritan 22:54, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, as with boyfriend. -Sean Curtin 23:05, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Incorrectly listed. Dr Zen 00:18, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep it. Fvw is batting about 50/50 this week. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 05:49, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Already listed in Wiktionary. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Delete. Rossami (talk) 01:57, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Have you read the comments above? This article definitely contains more than what is currently in Wiktionary. Brianjd 07:21, 2004 Nov 30 (UTC)
  • Keep, because Wikipedia is not a dictionary and this article is beyond the scope of a dictionary. --[[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 20:51, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Article as it stands isn't great, but I can't see how it's not encyclopedic. After all, why have an entry for marriage when we can just Wiktionary-link it? Lacrimosus 04:30, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete most of it: This article (apart from the sentence on the film) is nothing more than the definition and usage of a word. It belongs in a dictionary. Surely we can find more information on the film? Brianjd 05:34, 2004 Dec 1 (UTC)
  • Keep, as Hemanshu already brought up the "topic is encyclopedic, not just a word." -- Crevaner 10:12, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - Good points already mentioned above! -- Old Right 11:39, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Transwiki, merge, and redirect, or expand. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. We should have articles about the topic itself, not about a word. Either change the article to describe what a girlfriend is, rather than how the term girlfriend is used, or redirect somewhere (like relationship or something). anthony 警告 12:47, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete This article may have more words than the Wiktionary entry, but it still is nothing more than the definition and usage of a word. The Wiktionary entry gives the same information, just more concise. --L. Pistachio 03:27, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep and remove listing from WP:DA too. --Key45 01:25, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
