Dictionary articles II

• Autopsy (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
• Calculus (talk - history - links - logs - delete - protect)
• CPU (talk - history - links - logs - delete - protect)
• Heart transplant (talk - history - links - logs - delete - protect)
• Parachute (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
• Trephination (talk - history - links - logs - delete - protect)

These are all articles on dictionary words or concepts, many of which contain the exact same information as Wikipedia, (many are literally copied word-for-word). Wookieepedia is not a dictionary.

Keep

Parachute

There are a few instances of parachutes in the GFFA, so in the event of a keep decision the article will need to be reworded so it does not continue to plagiarize Wikipedia.

2. I'm guessing that the answer to Brandon's question is "no". —MJ— _{War Room} 06:41, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Keep

1. This one feels deserving to be kept actually. Unlike the other articles, it focuses on a specific appliance, instead of general concepts. QuiGonJinn ^(Talk) 12:40, October 20, 2014 (UTC)

Are there any noteworthy uses of parachutes where the use is in any way different from the real world? - Brandon Rhea^(talk) 19:51, October 19, 2014 (UTC)

3. Uncommon word or not, Dictionary.com exists for a reason. —MJ— _{War Room} 06:41, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

Keep

1. I think keeping this would actually be valuable. Unlike the others, it's not a commonly known word (I've never heard it before). I would say its relevance to Darth Vader also helps its notability and article-worthiness. - Brandon Rhea^(talk) 19:51, October 19, 2014 (UTC)
