Beta (climbing)[edit]

Oddly enough this is being nominated for the same reason that it was de-prodded. Wikipedia is not a slang or idiom guide. James084 13:13, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be inclined to keep, but given that nothing links here, Weak Delete. ::Supergolden:: 15:13, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Although I would like to see it expanded and cited. Cyde Weys 17:11, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Widly used term in climbing. Indoor climbing gyms use Beta Boards to descibe the route on the wall, defently not slang. Mike _{(T C)} 05:56, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, with the same hopes as Cyde. Widely-used terminology. ×Meegs 12:13, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Keep. I am a writer. This word in this usage probably falls under jargon? Wikipedia is my first source for current (unfamiliar, to me) usages, including this word. The distinctions made on this and other pages between slang, cliché, jargon, and dialect have helped me get my work done. Isn't that a good thing? I know a good climber; will ask him to expand if that helps the issue.
