Ghillie

This is pure dicdef (indeed a direct copy of Mirriam-Webster's). I see no potential for growth. It's already been transwikied. Delete. --Dmcdevit 04:54, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, dictionary definition. Megan1967 07:43, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, could be expanded to explain what a Ghillie's duties were, what they wore, and the technique they used to carry the chief across the stream. Piggyback perhaps. Kappa 08:58, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. If someone wants to create an encyclopedia article in it's place, they can do so after the dicdef has been deleted.--Halidecyphon 15:53, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• From "The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary," Oxford University Press, 1993 wouldn't that make it a copyvio too? Lots of good reasons to delete BigFatDave 21:56, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, dicdef, copyvio. Mikkalai 02:20, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, for all the reasons given above. There is already an entry on Wiktionary: [1]. --bainer 06:12, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
