 * Icosasphere dictdef. Sasquatch&#08242;&#08596;Talk&#08596;Contributions 05:58, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * QA/QC Dicdef. I have no idea what would go in an actual article about it, though that doesn't mean one can't be written.  The Literate Engineer 04:57, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Italian Brazilian. dictdef. Grutness...  wha?  03:23, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
 * This isn't an idiom. This is just an ordinary combination of Italian and Brazilian.  Wiktionary only takes such things if they are idiomatic.  Uncle G 17:47, 2005 May 13 (UTC)
 * Ghosting (prison) short dicdef, should be moved to Wiktionary, maybe encyclopedic if expanded.--Dmcdevit 21:45, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * The article is now ghost detainee and seems to be expanding to discuss the concept, not the word. Uncle G 00:20, 2005 Mar 28 (UTC)
 * Archive - largely definition. 81.155.168.239 20:30, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Strikes me as encyclopedic. --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Exxy - slang definition. Thue | talk 16:20, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Expanded to give better known meaning of term (and moved to more normal spelling (exy). Grutness|hello? [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]]
 * List_of_street_names_of_drugs - nothing more than a list of slang names. Cacycle 21:05, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Missense mutation - information on this page is largely redundant with that in point mutation and mutation articles; the page could be expanded to include mechanisms of creating missense mutations and the cellular mechansisms that respond to this type of mutation but not others . Courtland {2005-01-27 USA ~9:30 PM EST}
 * Not a dicdef. --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Phot - not much left to be expanded?
 * Not a dicdef. --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Why not? It's just a definition.--Dfeuer 02:37, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Signal_reference_subsystem -- J3ff 23:30, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Not a dicdef. --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Non-conventional literature -- J3ff 18:27, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Not a dicdef. --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Snail mail - it's a dictionary definition of a geek slang term. the main article on the postal system exists at Mail. An article on the term "snail mail" belongs in Wiktionary -- Tarquin 16:25, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Seems adequately encyclopedic --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Limeade -- recipe. SWAdair | Talk  04:20, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Reasonable stub. Keep. Guanaco 22:05, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Decimate -- Khym Chanur 04:55, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
 * keep, there are interesting things to be said about how the Roman armies decimated their own soldiers after losing a battle, pour encourager les autres Kappa 05:17, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * or redirect to decimation Kappa 05:21, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Not a dicdef. --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Cruft -- Khym Chanur 05:58, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * Not a dicdef. --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Thou: consider partial merge with Thou Emperorbma 09:16 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)
 * Not quite shore what to move. - fonzy
 * The etymology and a little bit of the usage section seem well oriented to being incorporated. The wiktionary thou is very sparse as it stands. Emperorbma 00:06 8 Jul 2003 (UTC)
 * Appears sufficiently developed. --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Nearly all the words linked from List of German expressions in English (anything that doesn't have more than a short definitional page). Note that the "see also" pages on French and Spanish words by and large are okay and don't need to be moved. (This was discussed on VfD and the consensus was to move to Wiktionary). --Delirium 06:35 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)
 * Secondary entry at concrete - SimonP 17:22, Aug 23, 2003 (UTC)
 * What's wrong with concrete staying? Seems to be more than a definition. Keep. Angela
 * You're referring to the "Something is considered concrete if it is ..." bit? I agree - that bit is more suitable for Wikipedia. Martin 10:19, 29 Aug 2003 (UTC)
 * Not a dicdef. --Dmcdevit 03:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Requests that have become moot

 * Periphrasis, Aquatic, Ardhamagadhi, Angela 00:23, 15 Aug 2003 (UTC)
 * I just did a stub for Aquatic that links to new stubs on aquatic animal, aquatic plant and water sports, AKA aquatics. Paige 14:01, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
 * periphrasis has grown to discuss the concept, not the word; aquatic has become a discussion of aquatics; and Ardhamagadhi has become a redirect to Prakrit. Uncle G 13:58, 2005 Jun 21 (UTC)

'All of the following are moot as they have actually been transwikied since their listing. --Dmcdevit 03:18, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)'
 * Credit default option. Angela 18:27, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)
 * Strongly recommend that this stays in Wikipedia. The intricises of explaining and pricing these sorts of financial instrument are much better suited to an article rather than dictionary definition. Pete 19:01, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)
 * Ok, I shall move it to Pages needing attention then. Angela
 * Fashion police --Robert Merkel 22:59, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
 * moiety, but don't use the definition there. Moiety is a standard English word meaning essentially "part", and its usage in Chemistry just follows standard usage, not any sort of specific jargon. --Delirium 00:01 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
 * JHOVE -- J3ff 07:58, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
