Contested prod, not by me. This is a dictionary definition, and looks like it always will be; transwiki to Wiktionary Septentrionalis PMAnderson 16:48, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep No consideration seems to have been given to good alternatives to deletion such as merger with Size theory. Per WP:BEFORE, If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD. Colonel Warden (talk) 16:58, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Make mine Strong and immediate transwiki then. This article seems to have been created to move this definition out of size theory, which (with its related articles) are the only things that link here - or are ever likely to. Wiktionary exists for this purpose. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:08, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * My initial tentative conclusion would be to merge this into size theory and redirect it to that article. Maybe I'll say more tomorrow or the next day..... Michael Hardy (talk) 04:31, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Also appears in natural pseudodistance and size pair, which is why to put this definition in Wiktionary; but perhaps we can consolidate all four. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:42, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
