Zhangj1079 ''has nominated this page for deletion for the reason:'' Article isn't necessary, as it exists [[:wikt:queue|on Wiktionary]] already. More of a dictionary definition than an article. [[User:Zhangj1079|Zhangj1079]] (''[[User talk:Zhangj1079|Saluton!]]'') 18:41, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

''Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that [[:m:Voting is evil|you shouldn't vote on everything]] and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.''

====Discussion====
*Other than the concept of people queuing in front of a supermarket cashier, or at a theatre/venue, there are also other concepts: 1)the stick/pole used for pool billiards 2)A French (probably pre-Napoleonic) measure for liquids (1 queue=360-411 litres) 3) In France: used staff in musical notation 4) A techical term used in binding books 5)A special military formation 6) A data structure used in computer science, modeled on the real-world queue 7) A part used in building musical instruments, esp. violins. So I think it would be better to adapt the page to reflect this, than to delete it.--[[User:Eptalon|Eptalon]] ([[User talk:Eptalon|talk]]) 09:09, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
::I have created the page [[Queue (disambiguation)]], which could replace the existing page. --[[User:Eptalon|Eptalon]] ([[User talk:Eptalon|talk]]) 09:30, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
:::Why couldn't all of these (as they stand) simply be cross-wikied to Simple Wiktionary? [[User:StevenJ81|StevenJ81]] ([[User talk:StevenJ81|talk]]) 13:45, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
::::At least some of them (I know for meanings 2,5,6) could do with a little explanation, they are 'encyclopedic' of sorts. --[[User:Eptalon|Eptalon]] ([[User talk:Eptalon|talk]]) 15:11, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
:::::Removed the one about billiards, which is "cue". What's the military one? [[User:StevenJ81|StevenJ81]] ([[User talk:StevenJ81|talk]]) 15:21, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Eptalon}} I updated the dab page so that it has actual links to terms with the word ''queue'' in them, and added a disambiguation template. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 22:36, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
{{od}} This leaves us with a disambiguation page with (currently) four entries, 3 of which are red links...--[[User:Eptalon|Eptalon]] ([[User talk:Eptalon|talk]]) 08:03, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
:That's ok, I think. I added an in-line wikt link (even though the template is also there). There's nothing wrong with having the dicdef at the top of a disambiguation page as long as the rest is there—especially if the dicdef represents the primary meaning. [[User:StevenJ81|StevenJ81]] ([[User talk:StevenJ81|talk]]) 13:17, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
*Getting back to the original topic: '''Delete''' as dicdef; overwrite by moving [[Queue (disambiguation)]]. [[User:StevenJ81|StevenJ81]] ([[User talk:StevenJ81|talk]]) 21:54, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
