Decillennium

 * – ( View AfD View log )

random collection of statements based around a dictionary definition. No sources. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Disputed prod. noq (talk) 12:21, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I can find no evidence of widespread use of this neologism. Originally the article consisted of just a dictionary definition, and then, after it had been proposed for deletion with "Wikipedia is not a dictionary" given as one of the reasons, the article was rewritten to add a string of random remarks, many of them using the word "decillennium". These remarks form no coherent whole, they are completely unsourced, several of them refer not to "decillennia", but only to millennia, even those which do refer to "decillennia" are not about "decillennia", but about other things and happen to mention "decillennia". In fact, the only part of the article which is actually about the concept "decillennium" is the first sentence, which is the dictionary definition which formed the original text of the article.

 * Delete. I concur with everything JamesBWatson says. This is a pure DICTDEF with a couple sentences worth of trivia added on which fails to make it any more encyclopedic (and which has only a verrrry tenuous link to the actual subject of the article anyway!) --Miskwito (talk) 19:04, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
