  • Speedy Keep per WP:SK. As noted above, this seems to be part of a bundle of nominations related to a geographical dispute and seem to have frivolous, irrelevant character contrary to WP:POINT, WP:HARASS and WP:DISRUPT. Warden (talk) 15:08, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment. @Warden: you are incorrect, and you clearly need to read WP:AGF. Please base your argument on the merit of the article rather than a personal attack against motivations. These articles are clearly outside the realm of any territorial dispute. Ansei/Tenmei has created hundreds or thousands of articles; Ryulong and I have nominated only a handful ones that do not belong in an encyclopedia because they are idioms and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. You may wish to consider reading that article as well. Bueller 007 (talk) 16:16, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: This AfD is part of a tag team event -- see here.
It is noteworthy that Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2013_May_31 includes so many articles in which the same writer invested time and research? --Tenmei (talk) 15:17, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Per previous comments, this appears to have nothing to do with dictionary definitions, but appears to be part of a pointy set of inappropriate AfD nominations. Acroterion (talk) 15:23, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Going with my comments on the other articles of this nature, it's more than just a dictionary definition. I say keep it.—Σosthenes12 Talk 16:53, 31 May 2013 (UTC)Sosthenes12[reply]
  • Snow Keep per WP:DEADHORSE 24.151.116.25 (talk) 17:04, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The merits of this piece as a sourceable subject are weaker than the others of this type up for debate today. Carrite (talk) 17:11, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It is obviously more than a dictionary definition as others have pointed out. JayJayWhat did I do? 21:00, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Keep Contains usage and origin sources, goes beyond dictionary definition. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:37, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Noted expression and cemented in culture. It is obviously more than a dictionary definition as others have pointed out. It looks to me like a case of WP:OVERZEALOUS. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:30, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Warden & ChrisG; not a DICDEF. Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:08, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This isn't just a dictionary definition, its a proper article, complete with references from reliable sources. Dream Focus 12:45, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
