Per "Wikipedia is not a dictionary". Probably redirecting to Wiktionary is the best option here. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 05:21, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think it should be moved to Shrive. Clearly a notable subject. Should note shriving pew. As well as shriving-clerk, shriving-hand, shriving-mark, and shriving-sign. Plenty of coverage including in existing encyclopedias as "Shriving"&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi_7cj6rfbZAhUCQKwKHYu6A8IQ6AEISTAG#v=onepage&q="Shriving"&f=false here.

Comment: Article titles are generally nouns or noun phrases. Per WP:GERUND, the title Shriving is preferred to Shrive. (I have no argument one way or the other as regards deletion.) Cnilep (talk) 06:22, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- a dictionary definition at best; not suitable for a stand-alone article. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:41, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This is not an article, nor is it even a stub for an article. TechBear | Talk | Contributions 22:54, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
