The result was keep. In its revised format as a disambiguation page, this seems to have overcome the original deletion rationale; if someone feels the dab should be deleted, it should be conisdered under its own merits. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Total garbage. The word "word" isn't even spelled correctly. Just a dictionary article with no encyclopedic content. Bueller 007 (talk) 08:50, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Remand to Wiktionary? Anything here salvageable for Wiktionary? If so, send it to them. If not, simply delete. Sven Manguard Wha? 17:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I've tidied up the poorly designed dab page. It originally pointed to Organization XIII but the term 機関 can refer to different things, as the page explains. This probably is a translation of the ja:機関, which coincidentally also has a Wiktionary tag on it. I've removed the dicdef translations since Wikipedia is not Google Translate [1], reformatted the layout and added another redlink entry - based on its Japanese page. There's also Fujiwara Kikan, Iwakuro Kikan and Hikari Kikan but I'm not sure how notable they are. They seem to be sub-branches of the parent redlink, though active in the Indian sub-continent. If anyone feels like adding them, feel free. Funny ^Pika! 08:45, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The disambiguation page could be valuable to some users now that formatting is in line with Wikipedia policy. Marechal Ney (talk) 22:53, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
