Disfiguration
Content: disfiguration- an alteration in the original appearance of an object or person

Delete. Dicdef, and I wouldn't consider it the start of an article. Nothing has been or needs to be merged with the existing wiktionary definition disfiguration.
 * ''Vote changed to "keep" below. Kappa 00:34, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

(Note: CSD is full of dicdefs that already exist in wiktionary, and it seems like they will be hanging around for a while if they don't get Vfd'd). Kappa
 * Delete whether Wiktionary has it already or not. It's not as if wiktionary can't come up with simple definitions of common words if we don't spoon feed them. Same goes for many other such words that may exist in wikipedia. -R. fiend 15:32, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * They can come up with definitions, but we can still save them some time by transiki-ing any useful ones that we have. Kappa 15:57, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Article hasn't grown beyond a 1 line dictionary entry in 5 months, and Wiktionary grew an article independently. Delete . Uncle G 17:22, 2005 Mar 17 (UTC)
 * Merge to disfigurement. Well spotted, Jmabel. disfigurement thanks you, too. &#9786; Uncle G 22:18, 2005 Mar 24 (UTC)
 * Keep. As an historic form of judicial punishment, notably in the Byzantine Empire, as well as elsewhere, this is more than article-worthy.--Gene_poole 01:30, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually this is a good point. I'm changing my vote to keep, and I'll write something after the Vfd. Kappa 00:34, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep'' and allow for natural growth. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy)  05:35, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Gene Poole's comments. Capitalistroadster 13:18, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep topic, but isn't the correct term "disfigurement"? -- Jmabel | Talk 00:36, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Which I see we have. Looks like merge and redirect to me. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:40, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to disfigurement Kevin Rector 18:16, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
