Alternate
Was tagged for Proposed deletion, but Netoholic swapped it for disambig instead. It's still a dictdef (which is Wiktionary, in a much better state) and some vaguely related articles, none of which would be at this title. Cleaning up the disambig per WP:MOSDAB would leave " Alternate may refer to:  ". &#8212;Cryptic (talk) 05:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The purpose of  is exactly as it sounds, and not to provide dictionary definitions; that's why Wiktionary exists.  I don't see anyway to turn this into a useful page, as there's really no point in redirecting "alternate" to things like alternator and alternative music (we already have alternative (disambiguation) for that).  --Kinu 06:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wiktionary. smurray  inch   e  ster  ( User ), ( Talk ) 10:26, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * A transwiki would be pointless; there's already an entry there that wouldn't need massive cleanup and rewriting, as this would. &#8212;Cryptic (talk) 17:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete dicdef &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 04:50, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete a poor dictdef, not realy a dab page, and a better dictdef is already on wiktionary. DES (talk) 16:30, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
