Friable

Delete. Already transwikified dictionary entry. Little possibility of expansion to a full topic -- Kaszeta 16:26, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

• Copyvio of http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=friable Kappa 16:35, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - dicdef already in Wiktionary JoJan 19:01, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Delete - An important concept that should be mentioned somewhere in rock description/mineral identification or the like. But as a stand alone article, I don't think so. Sandstone, coal, asbestos, tuff would all be described as friable. But perhaps just a parentheses -- like "Friable (crumbly)" -- would be enough. DanielCD 22:11, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
  • The concept is friability. This article title is an adjective. See Wikipedia:naming conventions (adjectives). Uncle G 04:15, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into an article or keep. Unless we start doing redirects to Wiktionary, short articles on technical terms being used in articles serve a useful purpose. If kept, it should be renamed to friabilty.-- Kjkolb 08:13, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Since it is a copyvio, delete unless rewritten. -- Kjkolb 09:36, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, we can't start merging copyvio material. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:19, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Aww crap, I didn't see that. Thanks, MGM. -- Kjkolb 09:36, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
