List of terms in The Twelve Kingdoms

- Keep or smerge. First of all, what does this have to do with Wikiquote? It doesn't have any quotes. Second, precedent is generally to keep lists of definitions when helpful to understanding the other articles in the topic, or at least to merge them. As a general comment, if you (Zgo!!) want my delete vote on anything, you're going to need to use your main account and not an account with no contribs other than AfDs, and moreover, you're going to need to give a valid reason for deletion. — Dark Shikari talk/contribs 10:47, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or Merge, This has nothing to do with Wikiquotes at all, it is merely an informative article of terms relevant to The Twelve Kingdoms. — Exertim/contribs 4:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Transwiki - list of dictdefs. MER-C 12:08, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - Despite the nominator's intentions, delete as this is not an encyclopedic list. It would be highly inappropriate to transwiki, except to an anime wiki or something... Wickethewok 14:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to The Twelve Kingdoms. While some definition lists are useful, this definition list is basically referenced only from one or two articles, and the vast majorities of terms defined here seem to appear only once or twice in an article, so in this particular case it would actually be less cumbersome to define the terms at the point where they are used, rather than forcing people to follow cross-references to a separate article. — Haeleth Talk 14:21, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete If a place or term is mentioned in the article then it should be explained in that article. There's no need for this additional list. -- Ned Scott 05:26, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or Merge - I was the creater of this page. I prefer Keep, but I wouldn't mind a merge. The reason I created this page was to allow the readers of the understand some of the terminology in the Twelve Kingdoms and to facilitate the editors so they do not have to explain the terms everytime they write them down, which is often especially in the Characters section. It also shows the author portaits the books and anime as a diverse and cultural the world. This are not quotes. They are obtained from other sources and primeraly from the anime and books. If need to be merge, then most of the words will be removed, and only the most important words will remain. BTW, the only reason there is only two pages linking to this one is because there are only three pages of TTK (this one included), If more pages arrise, they would link here, because you need to explain the terminology. -- Guille2015 17:46, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete and define terms within main article per Haeleth and Ned Scott. -ave) 02:09, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete this list if full of dicdefs. Those who say that they're needed to explain complicates concepts in the main article need to learn how to use the footnote system. --Kunzite 16:01, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
