Another page pending deletion that should not be deleted. It contained encyclopedic content about how bilge water was dealt with (from buckets to eletric pumps) and the reason for doing so (psychological as well as practical). In addition it mentioned a Khan of that name. This content is not in wikionary [2]. Kappa 13:55, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Keep, restore article and expand. Megan1967 08:41, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. There is definite potential for an encyclopedia article here. There seems to be a clear case to have another look at the Transwiki procedures. Capitalistroadster 09:39, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. Restore article and expand. The Bilges are a significant part of a ship/sailing vessel. Also we have numerous other articles describing parts of of a boat/ship and this is another supporting article. (Has this been put forward for removal because of lack of undstanding of the nautical definition as opposed to the popular/dictionary definition??) Ian 2005 Mar 21
- Keep Given time this article could expand considerably, the description for bilge is more than just a one-liner Graibeard 11:31, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
