Quite

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article gives two brief descriptions, with examples, of the grammatical category of the word. Why? Sounds like a dictionary definition to me. Amazed that there has been so little editing to it, and no log activity. Anyway... Delete. Milto LOL pia 05:01, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Minor update: I think this should be explicitly left open to recreation; surely such a common word has some encyclopedic, researched info on it somewhere on the internets, I just don't think it needs anything less than a fundamental rewrite, hence nominated.

 * Delete - Dictionary def. -steventity 05:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Nice definitions... for a dictionary. Flyguy649talkcontribs 05:23, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Buuuurn! Milto LOL pia 05:27, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Just turn it into a soft redirect to wikitionary. No need for AFD here.  Friday (talk) 05:43, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, removing an article, even to replace with something else, should probably get consensus. But can that really happen?  Just some template to another Wikimedia project?  That's despicable.  Milto LOL pia 05:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Meh. We probably didn't need an AfD here. Just be bold and move that bastard. Rock star  ( T/C ) 07:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Soft redirect per Friday. There's no extra information here that isn't already covered at wiktionary.  --Interiot 05:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Friday, but with no prejudice to completely firebomb sans AfD or even a disambig page if something encyclopedic comes up with the same name. Rock star  ( T/C ) 06:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No need for soft redirect here. Soft redirects to Wiktionary are only used for highly Wikified words (see WP:SRD), and "Quite" is not a highly Wikified word. Rock star  ( T/C ) 07:42, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - straight dictionary material. There are other dictionary-esque entries on WP, but those usually have some other cultural significance, such as some political neologisms. The article can be recreated if a female rapper named Quite bursts on the scene, or something like that. - Crockspot 17:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete its a dictionary definition. what more is there to say. Dixonsej 19:06 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delelte per as defenition -- St.daniel talk 20:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - "Keep" requires 2 less keystrokes than the other option, and I'm lazy- K @  ng  i  e meep! 07:13, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * "Delete per nom" would have required even fewer keystrokes than your explanation for keep. ;) Rock star  ( T/C ) 07:19, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * But delete per nom doesn't add anything new to the debate in the slightest :(- K @  ng  i  e meep! 07:49, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure it does, especially when the debate is between delete and soft redirect! :P Rock star  ( T/C ) 07:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, for now, as being a pure dictionary definition. Biruitorul 18:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * What Friday said -- it lacks content but no reason to delete it when it can redirect to wiktionary. SakotGrimshine 19:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Can't we just transwiki and be done with it? I'm not sure I'm in favor of a soft redirect anymore. Rock star  ( T/C ) 20:16, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * What's the difference between transwiki and soft redirect? SakotGrimshine 07:26, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe transwiki is just placing the text on this page onto, say, Wiktionary, and then deleting the corresponding Wikipedia page. A soft redirect does not redirect to Wiktionary immediately, but rather puts a link to it. If you want to see the template, see softredirect, or to see it in action, see: WP:DICK.
