Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Circa

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Circa (disambiguation). What I take from this discussion is that the dicdef article is not needed. But there isn't really anything one can merge into a disambiguation page, so I'm just redirecting it. I'm then also moving the dab page back to Circa because the "(disambiguation)" qualifier is no longer needed. Sandstein 07:33, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per WP:A5. It's already on Wiktionary: wikt:circa. Sungodtemple (talk) 12:25, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as suggested by FormalDude. Changing my vote. Would essentially be the same result, but some content could be salvaged to make the disambiguation text a bit more descriptive. Speedy delete per Sungodtemple. I might have argued for a {{Wiktionary redirect}}, but the disambiguation page exists and already features a link to wiktionary. --LordPeterII (talk) 13:35, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Whether a page has been copied to Wiktionary or not, the topic may still have encyclopedic significance: WP:WORDASSUBJECT. We've got several hundred articles in Category:Latin words and phrases, so the fact that this is an article about a word can't by itself be an argument for deletion. – Uanfala (talk) 13:19, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm, what exactly is meant by the proposal to merge an article into a disambiguation page? – Uanfala (talk) 13:25, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
are you suggesting to Merge and Delete with some of the additional content from the circa page being added into the disambiguation page and then deleting the original? – Greenhill90 (talk) 17:13, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
