Posthumous recognition
This is basically a dictionary definition. It was tagged for transfer to wiktionary 5 July 2006. On 18 September the tag was removed as having been transferred, but the article still remains and is still a dic def. Emeraude 19:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Nothing wrong with the article, we're just not a dictionary. EVula 20:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. A lot more can be added: are there cultural differences between posthumous recognitions? What are people posthumously recognized for? Are there notable examples of this? Where does the concept of posthumous recognition come from? The article is a stub with potential. Posthumous recognition is an encyclopedic subject, and I don't agree with the nom that the article is a dicdef. A  ecis  Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984. 12:25, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep & Expand While it is little more than a definition now, it is an expansive enough concept and topic to warrant an article and could be expanded. History of posthumous recognition could be added, one or two more examples.... --The Way 06:29, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep & expand. It definitely needs sources, but overall I see this as a worthwhile topic, and a fitting addition to Category:Death customs. --Elonka 19:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand -it can be expanded into an article of much more notability. Subject merits an article.  Cat tleG irl  '' talk 10:02, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
