Talk:Light-day

Dictionary entry
This is a dictionary definition. It should not be an encyclopedia article. It can be defined along with related units of measure in the speed of light article. -Eric talk 12:03, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Lots of pages could also be in a dictionary - including light-year. I see it as legitimate overlap.--GwydionM (talk) 16:35, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Many encyclopedia entries are also terms that are defined in dictionaries. Not all dictionary terms need corresponding encyclopedia articles. An article on the term 'light-year' makes sense as a place to describe the concept of expressing distance in terms of how far light travels in a given time interval. Substituting 'year' with other units of time measurement and making a stub on each one is unnecessary clutter. A simple list at the end of the Light-year article would suffice. -Eric talk 16:29, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
