Originally prod'd as "Nearly a dictionary definition, cannot be significantly expanded beyond that definition." Prod removed by an anon adding an {{NPOV}} and {{dict}} tags. I still say delete, but it might be transwikied to Wiktionary, if someone there wants it. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:38, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. It's not even a neologism as it is not even a term in itself. Many things other than temperature have triple digits. Our peers at Wiktionary don't deserve to be saddled with this. Ifnord 20:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The article doesn't state what the significance of a triple-digit temperature is, other than it's over 99 degrees (Fahrenheit). What happens at 100 degrees Fahrenheit that doesn't happen at 99? --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 20:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Elkman. In 2006, we should all be using SI anyway ;) --Chaser T 20:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Triple digits could also be 110, 120 or 475 degrees. Using this designation does not impart any useful information. Ambiguous, un-scientific term. --Xrblsnggt 00:09, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, I still want to use this page just in case. Joseandricardo, 00:17, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is no reason why to delete this page.Even though Wikipedia is not a dictionary, it can be moved to Wiktionary but I still want this page..!! Joseandricardo (talk), 00:20, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I understand triple digits could be anywhere from 100 to 999 degrees, but I don't care.Please keep!!!!!!!! Joseandricardo, 00:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]- Comment: Joseandricardo, I indented your subsequent "votes", as putting 'Keep' more than once doesn't improve your argument any. If you want to add additional information/arguments indefense of the article, try using Comment. What is it, exactly, you want to use the article FOR? You haven't really said, except that you want it. Be persuasive! -- nae'blis (talk) 17:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete because I want to. Danny Lilithborne 00:40, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, please provide a more substantive response than "I want to." This is not a vote, it is a discussion on the merits of the article. -- nae'blis (talk) 17:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete WP:NOT -- Alias Flood 02:32, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Not what, please? Can you be more specific? -- nae'blis (talk) 17:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Definitely.Jose and ricardo 19:03, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]- Comment:I want to use this article for knowing the temperatures 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher since that's what triple digits means. Joseandricardo, 01:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- This article is mis-titled, and is actually about triple-digit temperatures. There's a meagre amount of secondary source material written on the subject of triple digit temperatures. They were blamed for deaths in France and in Texas; they are bad for computers; and they are noted as only ever having occurred once in London. Contrary to the deletion nomination, it appears possible to expand this article beyond stub status. However, it can be argued that there are better articles for writing about global warming, about temperature, and about the Climate of the United Kingdom. Weak keep.

- Move to Triple-digit temperatures per above. Hoxxy 12:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
