Esteem

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Dicdef which isn't even close to being a proper article, if one could even be written. PC78 17:11, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. DicDef. Herostratus 20:20, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This was created in 2003 and nobody noticed? How interesting.  But to get to the point, it's a dictionary definition and should belong at the proper entry on Wiktionary. ( [ →] zel  zany  - fish) 00:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment, why cant this become a useful article? It is linked from a number of articles, so I think calls to delete this dictdef would need to consider how to fix all of those.  I dont think self-esteem is an appropriate merge/redirect target as that meaning isnt what is meant on dignity. John Vandenberg 07:56, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: There are actually only seven articles that link to this one. That's not a lot, and those links can easily be removed if necessary. PC78 11:31, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I dont have a problem with a delete outcome, but my original question still remains: why cant esteem be an encyclopedic topic? if it is an encyclopedic topic, yet the current article is just a dictdef, then the current article should be expanded rather than deleted.

 * Perhaps it could be expanded into a useful article, but after four years it's not like it hasn't had its chance. At present it's a redundant dicdef, and that doesn't seem likely to change in the near future. PC78 17:26, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed it could become an encyclopedic article. A vast opus on differences in esteem among cultures of the ages. But without any interest, I agree it may as well be deleted for now. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:51, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary.--Mike18xx 01:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete A redirect to self-esteem seems pointless since it is an off-shoot of esteem, but we're still looking for esteem. Wikipedia is not dictionary. The Filmaker 00:48, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
