 * Delete Unless we want to get rid of WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary we should delete this article. (A case can be made to go the other way.) It could be mentioned in the article on the Italian language, although it might be asked why the English word for this topic is especially noteworthy even there.Borock (talk) 02:56, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NAD. Phuzion (talk) 02:59, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as a clear example of a dictionary definition. Carrite (talk) 03:41, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * A redirect to List of English words of Italian origin might be helpful. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:37, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I considered that, but then I clicked through and noticed that that list article comprises not just Italian words used in English, but also loanwords that have been adapted with English orthography. Powers T 14:35, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * We don't need this. We already have List of English words of Italian origin. Linguogeek (talk) 21:38, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as simply a dictionary definition. Neutralitytalk 00:38, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
