This article is merely a glossary. Fbdave (talk) 23:21, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

, can you please not put it up for deletion while the in construction tag is still on it. Is is customary not to nominate an article for deletion minutes after it is created.  Nik ol ai Ho ☎️ 23:23, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

I noticed that my article was nominated for deletion a mere 33 minutes after it was created, while I was still working on it (and I did put an in use tag on it). Besides that, the reason for why it is nominated is that it is merely a glossary. Glossaries are in fact a thing on Wikipedia, for example Glossary of Christianity (you can find a list of glossaries at WP:WPGLOSSARY). Also, lists of words exist on Wikipedia, for example List of words having different meanings in American and British English: A–L, which provides a list of words and the related definitions — much like my article. This shows that articles which are lists of words with definitions are allowed on Wikipedia. I think my article is a good addition to Wikipedia, it provides a handy and interesting source of information. And it is not unlike other articles on Wikipedia, so I don't see why it should be deleted? Thanks for you time and work on Wikipedia.  Nik ol ai Ho ☎️ 00:10, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep. Article is under construction and "This article is merely a glossary" isn't a valid reason for deletion. Madg2011 (talk) 00:30, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - The guideline that should be read is WP:LISTGLOSSARY. I don't see a point in voting myself while the article is Under Construction, but in the end it will need to meet: "Some other, non-glossary lists of words can also yield an encyclopedic page, such as List of English words containing Q not followed by U, the condition being that reliable secondary sources for the topic can be cited."

 * Keep because glossaries have a place in Wikipedia. However, I am only !voting Keep because it shouldn't be deleted.  It is so customary to nominate articles for deletion minutes after they are created if they obviously need deleting.  Both user space and draft space exist for reasons, which include so that article space isn't cluttered with things that are under construction.  If an article isn't ready for AFD, don't put it in article space; don't just sloppily tag it as Under Construction.  Do your construction in draft space or user space.
