RFD discussion: February 2017[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


This is just a number. I can't even see any use for it to be on Wiktionary. Everybody knows that 146 is a number and there is no meaning for it or any special use for this number. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:20, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also: 145, 144, 143, 142, 141, 140, 139, 138, 137, 136, 135, 134, 133, 132, 131, 130, 129, 128, 127, 126, 124, 123, 122, 120, 119, 118, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153 and 154. These should be all deleted for the same reason. All these pages were created by IP addresses. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:56, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deleted per previous consensus against having entries for numbers over 100 without idiomatic meanings. bd2412 T 17:32, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Post-closing note: I seem to recall from my youth that 143 was at some point used as shorthand for "I love you" (based on the 1, 4, and 3 representing the number of letters for each word in the phrase). There appear to be a smattering of sources for this proposition, e.g., 2011, Dr. Brian Snow, Santa Claus and Little Sister: “I love you. Love always, Your wishful daughter, Lupe. P.S. 143” I put Lupe's heart down and wiped my eyes. I learned from the girls that “143” meant “I love you” from the old military days when messages had to be quick and cheap on Western Union. Can anyone else find anything for this? If so, I'll restore the entry for this idiomatic sense. bd2412 T 02:02, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BD2412 Before I close this, I have actually found more numbers that should be deleted that were created by IP Addresses:

Delete all these numbers for the same reasons. There is an endless pile of numbers created by IPs and bad users. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:43, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
