Drop dead
This is just a dicdef. We do not have articles for Get lost, Go away, Go to hell or other similar expressions. Shut up has a disambiguation page, but only for the various songs with that title. Nydas 19:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Del per nom.—msh210℠ 20:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as disambiguation page per Shut up: Drop Dead Fred, Drop dead date, Drop Dead Gorgeous and Drop Dead Gorgeous (TV series), Drop Dead Festival and Drop dead tuning (if it stays) could all use something here. -- nae'blis (talk) 22:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- None of those belong here, since none of those are apparently commonly known as merely "drop dead". See Wikipedia:Disambiguation. Uncle G 12:24, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Neutral It does give slightly more context than a dicdef, but I'm not sure if it could be expanded much more. We do have at least one page for a similar expression: Get bent. GassyGuy 23:25, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Disambiguify per Nae'blis. If we're feeling generous, maybe include the sentence or two here on that page. -- H·G (words/works) 23:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- CommentI've started the process of disambiguating the article. I'm still not happy withthe opening paragraph, but it's better than it was. -- nae'blis (talk) 01:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Grumpy Keep. nae'blis's efforts certainly help. Shenme 04:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep 216.141.226.190 11:53, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. None of the entries are known as "drop dead" and someone is not going to type "drop dead" for "Drop Dead Fred" if they are searching for an article. - grubber 17:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete dictionary definition and useless dab. -- Koffieyahoo 06:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Tychocat 09:28, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete clear dictionary definition. Vizjim 09:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, dicdef. --Terence Ong (Chat | Contribs) 10:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Ruaraidh-dobson 10:22, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. The "A to B: drop dead" history is useful similar to considered harmful. —Quarl (talk) 2006-07-26 12:23Z
- Trans to Wiktionary and Delete I like the rewrite, but it's inappropriate to disambig partial titles only, and the rest is a dicdef that belongs in Wiktionary, not here. Ziggurat 21:28, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
