Alternate

Was tagged for Proposed deletion, but Netoholic swapped it for {{disambig}} instead. It's still a dictdef (which is Wiktionary, in a much better state) and some vaguely related articles, none of which would be at this title. Cleaning up the disambig per WP:MOSDAB would leave "'''Alternate''' may refer to: {{wiktionary}} {{disambig}}". —Cryptic (talk) 05:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The purpose of {{disambig}} is exactly as it sounds, and not to provide dictionary definitions; that's why Wiktionary exists. I don't see anyway to turn this into a useful page, as there's really no point in redirecting "alternate" to things like alternator and alternative music (we already have alternative (disambiguation) for that). --Kinu 06:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary. smurrayinchester^{(User), (Talk)} 10:26, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  • A transwiki would be pointless; there's already an entry there that wouldn't need massive cleanup and rewriting, as this would. —Cryptic (talk) 17:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete a poor dictdef, not realy a dab page, and a better dictdef is already on wiktionary. DES ^(talk) 16:30, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
