The result of the debate was - should be moved to Wiktionary and then probably redirected to Spanish verbs. - SimonP 22:26, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

List of Spanish verbs

• Isn't this more of a wiktionary thing? --W(t) 00:12, 2005 May 28 (UTC)
• Since none of the entries on the list will get an article, I'd say yes. Transwiki to wiktionary. Mgm|^(talk) 00:21, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to wiktionary then delete. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:28, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article is a good supplement to the very encyclopedic Spanish verbs article. But that article had simply gotten so big that it was preferable not to include a long list. If the article isn't kept, then much of its content will have to be put back into the main article. This is a clear case where a spin-off article is a good thing. Blackcats 19:03, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
• A simple dictionary. Unencyclopaedic. There's an easily editable dictionary, of Spanish and all other languages, over there, with active contributors adding Spanish verbs, Italian verbs, and many others. Blackcats is wrong that this content will "have to be put back". Just do your dictionary work in the dictionary and refer readers there. That's what it's there for. Delete.

• Transwiki to Wiktionary. Gonna list every verb in Spanish? RickK 22:30, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki, no question.Yuber^(talk) 01:08, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
• Extreme transwiki. Radiant_* 10:41, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge back into original article. However, I could be talked into voting to keep it if it focused upon irregular verbs, or if it tied to some sort of proficiency test, or if it were limited to verbs found the Swadesh list. If merged back, it should be pared down to only the most important verbs. --Arcadian 22:17, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki then delete. JamesBurns 11:20, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki. I could live with a more compact list in the article showing some "regular irregulars" (vowel-alternating) and other common irregular patterns. --Pablo D. Flores 01:45, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This once survived a Vfd. I never liked it, so what I did was to move it to Spanish verbs and greatly expand it, adding a lot of info about how Spanish verbs work. That way, this silly list didn't have its own article, but was just tagged onto the end of the good one, where I could keep it under control. However, I made the Spanish verbs article too big, and so someone split the list out again! We're back to where we were: with a list that nobody likes very much. I say let's just delete it. If we ever decide to put some sort of list of common verbs in the Spanish verbs article, this list is preserved in the history, so we can just pull it out at any time. — Chameleon 23:38, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• NO! don't get rid of it just attach it on to something else!!!!!!!! I'd rather not delete it...at least not entirely, at least just tack it back on to the Spanish verbs article. I mean, since this is a very incomplete list of Spanish verbs... and it is impractical for an extensive list to be placed here, I suggest that it should at least be considered that the article is not deleted, but have a section on its article on Spanish verbs.

• I have a compramise. I have moved it to Wiktionary and the link on Spanish verbs can be changed to this link. Also have a transfer where List of Spanish verbs is K-unit 01:47, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
