I soft-redirected this to Wiktionary (wikt:Outside), but was reverted by Beeblebrox on the grounds that this shouldn't be done without discussion. I believe the article fails WP:NOTDICT, as it has no substance beyond a dictionary definition and I was unable to find sources that could be used as the basis for an encyclopedia article.

Comment: No comment on the article itself, but I strongly disagree with the notion that WP:BOLDly redirecting is somehow not allowed. Both WP:BLAR and WP:ATD-R make it clear this is allowed, though it can of course be contested. Curbon7 (talk) 20:40, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This seems like clear dictionary (not encyclopedia) material to me. As such, deletion or soft redirect as an alternative are appropriate. Cnilep (talk) 08:25, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'll do some additional research in historical records and other material to see if I can find additional references, but right now, I support a redirect. JKBrooks85 (talk) 20:59, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to wikt:Outside. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. FatCat96 (talk) 05:19, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
