*'''Keep'''. The talk page indicates that this complicated etymology was broken out of the [[Witchcraft]] and [[Wicca]] articles. There's easily enough referenced information here to support a stand alone article; it couldn't be merged back without either loss of data or undue emphasis; and the etymology is complicated enough to warrant a full treatment. - [[User:Ihcoyc|Smerdis of Tlön]] ([[User talk:Ihcoyc|talk]]) 16:55, 27 August 2009 (UTC) |

*'''Keep''' - Beyond the scope of Wiktionary, although maybe this could be copied to Witchionary. Plenty of sources and encyclopedic content. --[[User:Explodicle|<span style="background:Silver;color:Black;letter-spacing:2pt">Explodicle</span>]] <font size="-2">([[User talk:Explodicle|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/Explodicle|C]])</font> 17:54, 27 August 2009 (UTC) |
