This is fundamentally a dictdef; belongs in wictionary, not here. Article has been a stub for five years and is still essentially identical to the original version. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:53, 28 March 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete, is a dicdef of the word "droll", which already exists on Wiktionary. The addition of Steven Wright as an example is original research; Wright is described as dry or wry more often in Google searches. Abductive  (reasoning) 03:45, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. classic dicdef. If there was more content, I might suggest merging a mention of it to dry humor, or somewhere else, but there isn't enough for even that. The hatnote at Droll needs rethinking though. Can we just use a hatlink to Wiktionary? -- Quiddity (talk) 07:44, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment This could probably be redirected to the page that currently has the idiotic name "Deadpan", which is where dry humor and dry humour and deadpan humor and deadpan humour redirect to. That article itself is unsourced, and if nominated, can be excepted from Wikipedia.  Somebody decided that "deadpan humor" and "deadpan violence" should be combined into one article, hence the title that rhymes with, and stinks like, a similar collective for waste.

 * Delete. Simple dicdef. Szzuk (talk) 14:51, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect or merge into Deadpan, per WP:CHEAP. Bearian (talk) 23:13, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
