Delete- dictdef Burgundavia 07:11, 25 May 2004 (UTC) Keep - like many things that get listed here, this has now been expanded beyond a dictdef, IMHO. Burgundavia 02:00, 26 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Quite. Delete if not rewritten into a real article. -- Cyrius|&#9998 07:21, May 25, 2004 (UTC)
 * This word is something that I best know as a character in the 1989 movie The Little Mermaid. If there are any other stories with characters of this name, or common definitions related to a Wikipedia article that already exists, try making a dis-ambiguation page. 66.245.96.168 13:44, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. I have attempted to expand the page slightly. The word has some consequence in admiralty law, but I suspect it takes an admiralty lawyer to expound further, and there ain't much call for such in Indiana.  Probably also want to direct flotsam there also, and ligan.  Smerdis of Tlön 13:58, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Much, much better. Keep. blankfaze | &#9835 18:20, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Potential for expansion -- there is doubtless some famous flotsam &/o jetsam in the world. Wile E. Heresiarch 20:49, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
 * If you hadn't said this, I wouldn't have remembered, but there is--see article for details. Also, I moved it to flotsam and jetsam. Meelar 02:55, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - almost moving beyond a stub.--Henrygb 21:29, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Fascinating. Andrewa 01:49, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, agree with Andrewa. Meelar 02:47, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, fine now. Dpbsmith 23:57, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
