Per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not for dictionary definitions or lists of such definitions. Word definitions are to be explained in the context of an encyclopedia article and lists of words generally only occur for the use of disambiguation pages. Also, "Wikipedia is not a dictionary, or a jargon or usage guide." Dictionary definitions, however, are appropriate for Wiktionary. This is the kind of thing that Wiktionary is made for, and so they have been transwikied to Wiktionary and may now be deleted.
 * See precedent at, for example, Articles for deletion/List of surfing terms, Articles for deletion/List of theatre terms, Articles for deletion/List of aviation, aerospace and aeronautical terms, Articles for deletion/Glossary of sexual slurs, Articles for deletion/Royal Marines slang, Articles for deletion/RuneScape slang and terminology, Articles for deletion/List of gay slang words and phrases (second nom), Articles for deletion/Goth slang (2nd nomination), Articles for deletion/EverQuest Slang, Acronyms, Lingo, Articles for deletion/List of marijuana slang terms 2, Articles for deletion/Glossary of sexual slurs, Votes_for_deletion/Military_terms, Articles for deletion/Gambling terms, Articles for deletion/List of biomedical terms, Articles for deletion/List of Seinfeld terms, Articles for deletion/List of fighting game terms, Articles for deletion/Adidam Glossary of terms and concepts, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Magic: The Gathering terms, Articles for deletion/MechWarrior4 terms, definitions and abbreviations, Articles for deletion/List of Soul Calibur terms, Articles for deletion/List of terms in Shakugan no Shana, Articles for deletion/List of Zone of the Enders terms, Articles for deletion/Glossary of terms from the Kingdom Hearts series, etc.

Deletion after transwiki is therefore standard procedure. Delete. Dmcdevit·t 10:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It's been transwikied, so now delete. Again and again, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, or a dictionary or a list of terms. Moreschi Request a recording? 11:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It seems to me this information is organized with a specific topic in mind. Perhaps merging it to E-Learning in a glossary section might be appropriate. Bbagot 18:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The Wiktionary article is now cross-linked to e-learning with wiktionary. This seems more helpful than puting the list of words into an article. Dmcdevit·t 20:18, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per User:Dmcdevit as transwikied. I agree that a inter-wiki cross-link is more appropriate in this case. -- Black Falcon 18:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
