Thanks everyone for pitching in on this one. There is perhaps a consensus that needs to be reached here before I feel inclined to continue with some of our other (quite lively) "discussions".

Chris, you may already be aware that I was prompted to add {{subpages}} to this page but have decided it was not appropriate, as this is a (talk page for a) disambiguation page.--David Yamakuchi 21:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Removed and placed on talk page for further (possible) discussion:

deleted "Respect"

Sorry, David, but I deleted the article Respect -- it is very clear in all the guidelines that CZ is not a dictionary. It would be possible, I suppose, to write an article about respect, but we can't have an article that is nothing but a definition. Hayford Peirce 22:44, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Looking at the deletion history, it seems you have deleted Respect (transitive verb), not Respect. --Daniel Mietchen 23:27, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Well, I dunno what the history *shows*, but what I deleted was an article in the shape of an article called Respect that was then a longish definition of the word. I dunno what all the redirects and definitions have done to the record, but put your mind at rest, I deleted an article, NOT something else. Hayford Peirce 00:21, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Puzzled

What consensus is at issue?

I'm curious why this disambiguation page was originally imported from WP. As far as I can tell, there were no ambiguity problems at CZ with respect to respect. Once here, the page was left not in the R-template based CZ disambig format, but in the text-and-wikilink WP format; I believe our rules do expect imports to be improved within a short time of arrival.

I reformatted it, and Chris then removed the multiple song references. What problem are we trying to solve? --Howard C. Berkowitz 23:00, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
