Beyond the scope of Wikipedia; this article looks like a dictionary entry instead. Ueutyi (talk) 04:43, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment should be a disambiguation page or article of wiktionary? EllsworthSchmittendorf (talk) 04:58, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

 * It's not disambiguation, because it only links to overabundance, and to plethora (which itself means "overabundance"). Plus, there are very few Google hits for "malagnorum" - does the word even mean "overabundance"? (Is there any evidence that such usage actually exists?)

 * The only place where the word appears in Google search are the scans of some old Latin books. Of these, three appear to be a personal or place name, the last some corrupted text caused by the scanner reading the text from the reverse side of the page. Speedy deletion under criterion WP:CSD, anyone? - Mike Rosoft (talk) 05:45, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is not an English word as far as I, or the Oxford English Dictionary, or even Google know. Cnilep (talk) 05:48, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete agree with Cnilep. No definition in Oxford Dictionary either. EllsworthSchmittendorf (talk) 08:21, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete To me, it looks more like a hoax than a dictionary entry. Peridon (talk) 21:30, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Another place it can't be found is Hartrampf's Vocabularies. I don't have Roget, so I can't check there. But I can check the Times English Dictionary - guess what? They've not got it either. Peridon (talk) 21:34, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It seems like a not very commonly used latin word, but combining prefix mal- and agnorum, the word means bad lamb. Ueutyi (talk) 21:51, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * If it is, Google Translate doesn't recognise it. 'Bad lamb' is possibly a bit obscure (actually, 'of the bad lambs' to be strict), and it would be a genitive plural, which is odd for a noun used nominatively. (OK, there is omnibus, but that was used as a dative on purpose - 'for all'.) Peridon (talk) 22:05, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
