Gormless[edit]
Content is only Wiktionary material, concerned with word usage and etymology, specially motivates by the appearance of the term in the online comic strip User Friendly; as such, it approaches being a vanity page for readers of the strip (you may see comments in that respect at their site). A notice that the article was unencyclopedic was removed by another user, as was a previous move-to-Wiktionary notice. A Wiktionary entry already exists. --Taragui 11:15, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. While very detailed, this is still only a discussion of the meaning, origins and usage of a word. The expanded content should be added to the Wiktionary entry. Rossami (talk) 18:45, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- You mean move to Wikitionary Dan100 21:36, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Move to Wikitionary As one of the main editors of User Friendly's article, I agree with some of the comments which have been made, and as such feel that it would be better in the Wikitionary. Epideme 09:02, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
