Inconvenience

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A fairly pointless page creation with a soft redirect to Wiktionary, and seemingly ineligible for CSD. It fulfils no purpose other than to divert or delay users looking for articles beginning with that word (and there are a lot of them), and would rarely if ever be searched for on its own. It therefore goes against the last line of the guidelines in which state:
 * "Do not place it on every possible word. Soft redirects to Wiktionary are to dictionary definitions, and generally Wikipedia is not a dictionary.
 * Only use it when:
 * There is no scope for a Wikipedia article at this title, and
 * There is no other Wikipedia page to which this would be an appropriate redirect, and
 * There is a relevant entry in Wiktionary, and (my emphasis...)
 * Readers search for it on Wikipedia."
 * I do not believe users would ever search for "inconvenience" on its own. Maybe other editors do? Nick Moyes (talk) 23:12, 4 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete To me fails the no scope for a Wikipedia article at this title criterion- haven’t made a study of it but would eat my hat if there’s no academic material on the subject of inconvenience in law, philosophy, literature, etc. Should have known; a glance at Google Scholar shows a number of economics sub fields engage the topic. Seems appropriate to delete until someone wishes to start an encyclopedic page. Innisfree987 (talk) 01:19, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * But WP:POINTWIKT makes it clear that the guidelines for what is acceptable as a soft redirect to Wiktionary is in the documentation for (which I pasted above) and which, to me, self-evidently does not meet its own 4th guideline. Nick Moyes (talk) 21:16, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * After considering the points presented on your other AfD, I've elected to strike my Keep vote from this AfD as well. Thank you. Operator873 CONNECT 02:33, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom's argument - surely this is a rare thing to search? (query - how did nom find it? ;) ) To a lesser degree I also agree with Nick Moyes - I wouldn't be surprised to see actual articles that would belong on this spot. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:17, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * To answer your question, I certainly didn't search for it! Why would anyone? I'm actually a New Page Reviewer and came across the ridiculously-named article, Merely, which I AFD-ed immediately using the inbuilt Page Curation tool that reviewers have access to. Checking the article creator's other pages always seems appropriate to me, and I came across this one amongst their otherwise weird, wacky and interesting contributions. I'd invite anyone who spends time here at AFD to consider volunteering at WP:NPP - we've got the backlog down to 3,400 unreviewed new articles. More help still needed, folks!

 * Ah, that makes more sense. I might try out NPP in a bit - however I only joined AfC a bit over a week ago! Between AfC, AfD, Vandal Patrol I'm lacking time to create as it is - think NPP might be a step too far!
 * I'm trying to think which one is on iffier grounds - merely or inconvenience. I do feel a need to go see the creator's other edits just out of interest. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:41, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
