This is a disambiguation page containing nothing more than partial title matches. There was prior discussion about deleting this page, but that discussion occurred when it was an article page. The debate was whether an article on a simple adjective was appropriate. Subsequently the article was changed to a disambiguation page. This doesn't make sense since the entries don't conform to policy for inclusion on disambiguation pages. It is best to delete this page altogether and either delete incoming links or link to an appropriate article if one exists. Coastside (talk) 01:56, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If we go to delete decision, do we leave a soft redirect to Wiktionary too? FMecha (to talk|to see log) 12:41, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a need to soft link to wiktionary. There are almost no incoming links currently, and this would only serve to encourage overlinking going forward.Coastside (talk) 16:38, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: some time ago, I started Draft:Proprietariness, intended to serve as a WP:DABCONCEPT for this term. I'm on the fence about whether it will work as an article, but if someone does want to pursue that, it would be the appropriate target for this term in mainspace.
