The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Lowercase form of AAB, I am sure FBI has been written fbi on many occasions, I don't believe that makes it a distinct term. - TheDaveRoss 16:38, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

- OTOH, if these are written in lowercase, it would make them even less intelligible because they would look like words... if I read "the aab fired on the approaching jet", how am I to figure out that "jet" is a word and "aab" is only an acronym (and for what?) if there's no entry for "aab"? IMO keep if attested, although I wouldn't object to converting it to a soft redirect like
{{altcaps|AAB}}or{{altcaps|AAB||anti-aircraft battery}}. - -sche (discuss) 18:13, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. My initial instinct was to send these to RfV to see if they ever are attested, but if they are, they are merely a miscapitalization of the acronym. I'm sure it would be just as easy to find sources where ELEPHANT or COMBUSTION is spelled in all-caps, but this doesn't make these different words. bd2412 T 04:06, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
