Expunge
Dictdef, already in Wiktionary. This page once was marked with, but someone removed it. A.M. 00:25, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete/speedy: There has been quarreling over speedy deletes of transwiki'd words.  Seems like it ought to be straightforward to me, but I think someone used a -bot, and someone else got upset with it. Geogre 03:12, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * That gets me upset whether people use a bot or not. Even I have nominated a "dicdef" for Vfd only for someone to point out its encyclopedic potential Kappa 18:19, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * It's the mis-use of the speedy deletion criteria that gets people upset. The 'bots have, really, nothing to do with it.  That has long since been sorted out, and has nothing to do with this article in any case, whose transwikification and deletion preceded the Wiktionarification 'bots.  When this article was speedied, back on 2005-02-18, its entire content was the 5 words "To erase or strike out.", which meets speedy deletion criterion A1.  It was only after it had been speedied and moved to pending deletion that what you see now was written. Uncle G 19:11, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
 * Delete. Dictdef, or thesaurus entry.--Absurdist 03:52, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Expunge. Grutness...  wha?  08:33, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Expunge (sorry, couldn't resist :-p). Jamyskis 14:07, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * This is a dictionary article on a verb, not an encyclopaedia article on a person, concept, place, event, or thing. No suitable infinitive&rarr;gerund redirects are apparent.  It was clearly created by Nobs in order to explain xyr use of the word "expunge" in Talk:Jesus/Archive 16.  Show Nobs how to make interwiki links to Wiktionary articles if linking to a dictionary article about a word is required, and Delete. Uncle G 19:11, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
 * Delete dicdef. -- metta, The Sunborn  03:32, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * seems like a joke created especially for this listing for the fun of the author and the voters. Should be deleted but is likely to be recreated. Irpen 06:41, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
