 * It's an irretrievable mess, and WP is not a dictionary anyway. Prince of Canadat 12:10, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This article has 30 incoming links. Beating-up is unfortunately but significantly a fact-of-life nowadays, and so it should have an article. I have deleted a how-to section that someone inserted recently. If you think that it needs tidying, tidy it. There is more to this article than a dictdef. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:25, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Meh. Delete - nominator. Prince of Canadat 12:29, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This article has stood since 09:37, 19 October 2006. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:30, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * So what? Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 13:01, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment WW2 pilots would, I believe, refer to 'beating up' a ground target either an enemy one or (as a mock attack) a friendly one. I don't see this usage mentioned at all. But I don't see that it justifies an article either. MadScot (talk) 12:59, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Too much meandering dictionary material and OR. Colonel Warden (talk) 13:49, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as one should noy try to write coherent articles when beaten up.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 18:43, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Dictionary definition. brianlucas (talk) 18:54, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
