Gwine

Archaic dicdef. I don't see how this could be expanded. Joyous 11:56, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)

• Delete -- I'm also concerned that the contributor may be purposefully adding racist comments and articles to stir up trouble. I'm going to go tag another contribution, maybe a couple of us should check up on the submitter's other changes as they happen. DreamGuy 12:27, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
  • I'd like to bump this up to speedy delete, as Geogre recommends. Another article this submitter posted and I marked has already been speedily deleted, so this one makes a good candidate too. I'm not sure how that's proper to handle though since it's currently being voted on. I'll be tacking a third one of his articles as speedy delete potential. The racism doesn't appear to be accidental but calculated to disrupt. DreamGuy 19:57, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete', a word used in a dialect isn't notable. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|^(talk)]] 13:01, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
• NPOV and transwiki to wiktionary --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway ^Talk ]] 16:04, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Speedy delete: "Gwine" is used by Mark Twain and Stephen Foster, both, as well as Joel Chandler Harris, but the contents of this are a racist insult. I don't believe it's worth the effort to do anything with this except kill it. Wiktionary can develop the term on its own, or not, but I don't want to reward the jackass who wrote this or take the slightest chance that he or she will un-NPOV it over and over again.

• Speedy delete nothing worth saving. A good definition would have to start from scratch.ike9898 22:58, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
• Speedy delete. Racism on that page. --Idont Havaname 00:45, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Speedy, and please note that this user has also edited from anon IP 67.9.136.241, as is apparent from the history of Edmund Hillary.--[[User:Bishonen|Bishonen (talk)]] 00:59, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Speedy deleted by me. Normally, if something like this happens (a VfD nom that I believe should be a speedy), I wait 24 hours to see if anyone has dissent before acting. 24 hours is long enough for junk like this to stay. Geogre 03:57, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• • Awesome. Much thanks. DreamGuy 04:11, Dec 1, 2004 (UTC)
