Delete. Nothing magical attaches about to the verb. We can also ask of somebody, for example. Equinox ◑ 01:10, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

rise above

Keep (or at least RFV). I don't see how rise covers figurative senses like "I know he's annoying you, but you should rise above it" (i.e. ignore it by being more mature). Equinox ◑ 01:11, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Yes, keep. DonnanZ (talk) 10:22, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

• Keep per the above, although I question whether there are really two distinct senses. bd2412 T 13:28, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Kept. bd2412 T 03:06, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
