List of collective noun definitions. Without sources. Nicholas Perkins (T•C) 13:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki those that can be sourced to Wiktionary. Delete the rest. Will (talk) 13:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wiktionary- that's what it is there for Lurker  (said · done) 17:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per my reasoning at Articles for deletion/List of collective nouns by subject I-Z. --Fang Aili talk 14:39, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep perhaps the nom hasn't noticed, but wiktionary does not include such lists, just individual terms. And Exaltation of Larks is the source for notabiity of the topic--it includes living things in general. Lists are being nom.  without much concern foir what they contain or their purpose, using only the most general of arguments. DGG (talk) 08:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This is an annotated list of closely-related words, otherwise known as a "glossary", as permitted by the stand-alone list guideline. Strong keep if Wiktionary does not accept such lists, which would prove that it does not fail WP:NOT. Also, this should be kept per the WP:CONSENSUS of hundreds of editors who have contributed to all of the collective nouns lists since 2001, most of whom are not being heard from in these discussions.

 * Strong Keep per DHowell. Mathmo Talk 23:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
