During[edit]

Attempted dictionary definition (WP:DIC) with irrelevant wikilinks. KCinDC (talk) 19:27, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTDICT. Themfromspace (talk) 19:30, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not Wiktionary. Also, you don't need to link every single word. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 19:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
’’’keep’’’ - I agree with tenpoundhammer, but during is quite a popular word. I feel if this is rewritten as an encyclopedia article, it should be kept on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.231.251.0 (talk) 19:41, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Exactly how would you have an encyclopedia article about a preposition? —KCinDC (talk) 19:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - You could talk about how it's a bad word to end a sentence with. Jclemens (talk) 23:31, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTDICT (and I think we should add a speedy category for obvious NOTDICT cases). --ZimZalaBim ^talk 20:19, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Definitely a dictionary page thus a delete per WP:NOTDICT. coccyx bloccyx_(toccyx) 22:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete um, yea. JuJube (talk) 03:20, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I see your argument. However during is more than a word. It is a state you are in while something else is happening. There is a lot more to this than you think.99.153.87.60 (talk) 16:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, during is not a state. During is a preposition, not a noun, which is why it makes no sense to say this can be expanded into an encyclopedic article, and why the definition given is invalid. —KCinDC (talk) 16:49, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kill with fire. This dictionary definition is not an encyclopedic article, and it can be nothing more than a dictionary definition. B.Wind (talk) 02:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
