Playdate
Dictdef, and unlikely to expand beyond one. The content has already been transwikied; it can be found here at wiktionary. Picaroon9288 17:35, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, dicdef.--Nilfanion (talk) 18:33, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete, it's already been transwiki'd. It also has no potential of expansion beyond a dicdef, so I tagged it. ColourBurst 20:17, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * A5 reads: "Any article that has been discussed at Articles for Deletion (et al), where the outcome was to transwiki, and where the transwikification has been properly performed and the author information recorded." The article hadn't been discussed at afd at all; that's why I created this subpage. I just wanted to make sure that all steps of the process were followed prior to deletion.

 * Keep and restore since someone's already speedied it. I disagree with ColourBurst, there's plenty of room for expansion here, and all stubs start out as dicdefs. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. "All stubs start out as dicdefs" is wrong.  (Per WP:IAR, I'm commenting here rather than closing the AfD and suggesting that User:Badlydrawnjeff take it to WP:DR.)  Full text of the article was transwikied, in case anywone was wondering if something was lost.  &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 18:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Is it really wrong? Either way, the speedy was certainly premature. --badlydrawnjeff talk 18:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree on both parts:
 * Some articles do, and all should, start out with something more than a definition.
 * An article which consists only of a definition can be speedily deleted, without prejudice to re-creation if something more can be said. &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 18:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see any speedy deletion criteria for that. --badlydrawnjeff talk 19:00, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it would match A3: Any article consisting only of links elsewhere (including hyperlinks, category tags and "see also" sections), a rephrasing of the title, and/or attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title.  This particular definition does only consist of a rephrasing of the title.  &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 20:33, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
