Is this worth keeping? - Kums 05:28, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Unresolved/lost VfD. Would be worth keeping if it explained what the heck it was. Cool Hand Luke 03:48, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- There is already a paragraph on this subject in the main Glasgow article. Delete. ping 07:37, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: A List Of article would be one thing, but this is another. Glaswegian slang is pretty deep, but the entries here are self-evident. A serious article about the subject would be a keep, but this is not it, and it would require an expert editor on clean up to make it worthy. Geogre 13:09, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I strongly disagree with this deletionism: deleting stubs is not the right way to go about achieving a full aritcle. Joe D (t) 00:56, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Deletion-ism? A stub that is untrue is not better than a redlink. A misstatement is not better than a silence. An inappropriate statement is similarly not going to take the place of a proper one. A discussion of the slang of Glasgow is conceivably quite interesting, if it is at least somewhat rigorous. A list, however, serves little purpose, and a self-evident list is worse yet.

- Are you saying that the information is factually inacurate? None of the above reasons are a problem if we move to Glasgow dialect and improve the article. Joe D (t) 01:19, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Move to Glasgow dialectMerge with Glasgow patter, add a proper introduction etc, cleanup list. Keep. Joe D (t) 23:00, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)Keep.Looks interesting and useful to me. It's in need of a lot of cleanup, as many people have noted already, but that has nothing to do with whether to delete it. Factitious 05:17, Oct 31, 2004 (UTC)- Glasgow patter looks like a better place for it. Merge, redirect. Factitious 09:28, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)
Keep: meaningful, significant, useful.Wile E. Heresiarch 05:42, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)- Merge & redirect to Glasgow patter. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:52, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
