Term (time)

The article is currently a dictionary entry (a list of meanings of a term), and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. I do not see any way an article with this title could be turned into a proper Wikipedia, encyclopedic article. I recommend deletion. Veverve (talk) 20:30, 9 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. Textbook WP:DICTDEF. There is nothing to say about this concept beyond a dictionary definition. Colin M (talk) 20:41, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree with this. However, could we transwiki (to Wiktionary, where dictionary definitions actually belong) instead? Chroma Nebula   (talk)   21:14, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * While I'm sure term could be improved, I don't think the prose of this article would be very useful for that purpose. Colin M (talk) 21:56, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Leaning keep as a WP:DABCONCEPT for multiple not-unrelated meanings of the term. I think this is similar to Time limit, and could conceive of these being combined into a more substantial article about the human phenomenon of setting periods of time for the duration or accomplishment of tasks.

 * Delete: Reads like a dictionary entry: the wiktionary entry on this is sufficient. Alpha Piscis Austrini (talk) 12:44, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
