This will never be more than a dictionary definition, and I prodded it to that effect. It does not belong on Wiktionary, however, which already has wiktionary:terra firma. —Swpb^talk 01:40, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge agree with above seems like a dictionary definition. It seems like this definition could be part of this article [1] or this one [2] to give greater understanding to the term. It doesn't seem to merit a whole article. The article also adds in "Solid earth science" which is surely a separate topic and I'd be in favour of this part not being included. Solid earth science may be worthy of an article by itself or a disambiguation page. But that is not the topic here. Thanks. Marksterdam (talk) 09:55, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Looks like more than a WP:DICDEF to me. Plus there are WP:RS. --Mr. Guye (talk) 02:51, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
