 * Keep - I created the page at 20:59 and you tagged it at 21:01. How about 24 hours to finish putting it together before you try and take it down. Look at my work.  I usually do good stuff.  I just got my first WP:FA and WP:FL this month.  Give me a fair chance to pull the page together.  As noted in the edit summary, I am creating this to augment Dime in support of Dime (United States coin) which is coming up for WP:TFA on April 10th.

 * I suggest you augment the article with a wiktionary tag. Dmcdevit·t 06:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Hey, that's a whole 2 minutes! Transwiki to wiktionary; it looks a dicdef me, even if a nice and detailed one. Tizio 13:30, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have checked the new version of the article, and it is still a dictionary definition to me. I have no problem in letting it stay here for some time (at least, it's a good dictdef), just I can't see how that can change it from being better suited for Wiktionary.

 * Transwiki to Wiktionary as a (well-written) dicdef, though it was incorrect of the nom to tag it for deletion while it was clearly under construction. Krimpet (talk/review) 18:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC) Keep to give the article more time to be developed and referenced first, then we can see whether it's a candidate for transwiki or not. Krimpet (talk/review) 19:24, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree the the wiki definition should be augmented with slang uses. However, WP has a place for slang terms.  Come back after I augment the page a bit.  Maybe it should be listified as a List of slang uses of the term Dime, but I think WP has a place for this article.  Again, reconsider after I have put this together.  As an aside, when I do new page patrol, I go back 10000 edits which is over 4 days because I don't think you should hassle people until after they have had a chance to cleanup their work.  You are already pigeon holing this into Wiktionary.  I think this will make a decent list when I get through. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 18:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This article is on the way to being more than a dicdef, and that it is careless to tag it this soon after creations. Nothing that is not absolutely obvious nonsense (etc) should be tagged that soon. DGG 03:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki and delete. Any article that begins with "Dime is a term with multiple slang meanings." is about solely word meanings, and not the encyclopedic concept behind the word's referent. The sections, "Usage"s are just more definition material. See WP:WINAD. Just because there are many definiteions does not make it encyclopedic. If you are planning a list of definitions, note that those are not encyclopedic either, as Wikipedia is WP:NOT "dictionary definitions" or "Lists of such definitions. " Dmcdevit·t 06:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article is far beyond anything that's appropriate for a straight transwiki to Wiktionary, and its extensive encyclopedic portions would be deleted in the process.--Father Goose 07:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
