Delete. This is not only WP:DICTIONARY, it's WP:COPYVIO -- a direct copy of text from the Random House dictionary. Nat Gertler (talk) 04:13, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Dictionary definitions have no copyright. Joe Chill (talk) 04:13, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're wrong there. Print dictionaries are copyrighted, and one cannot just copy their entries willy-nilly. And the dictionary.com page from which this article was copy/pasted bears an explicit copyright notice. Deor (talk) 16:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as copyvio (G12). So tagged. Deor (talk) 16:34, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as copyvio and dictionary definition. Maybe an encyclopedic article could be written, but it could be redirected to aerial tramway (which is where telpherage already redirects to). snigbrook (talk) 18:42, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
