This is a dictionary definition of the phrase Akimbo. It already exists on wikitionary. Unlike other positions, such as sitting and kneeling, which have some cultural significance to them (or health risks), this article is only an etymology of the term.

• Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Then move Akimbo (disambiguation) over; it has a wiktionary link. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:42, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete It's a dictionary definition with etymology, as stated. The topic may or may not be notable in an encyclopedic way, but right now there's no evidence of notability and no suitable content to keep. That said, if someone can find sources and produce an encyclopedic article on the cultural or other significance of standing akimbo, I will change my vote. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:05, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete there's a Akimbo (disambiguation) page that can be moved here and can give the dictionary definition / link to Wiktionary. Power~enwiki (talk) 05:30, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
