Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipedia is not a dictionary


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   speedy close; nomination is actually for Wikipedia is not a dictionary and therefore opened in the wrong forum. I also don't see that XFD is the proper way to go about changing Wikipedia policy, and in looking at the nominator's contribution history I see no indication of any recent attempt to improve, discuss, or otherwise change the policy in question. I will therefore not nominate this page at MfD myself on procedural grounds as I ordinarily would, but will not object to doing so. Non-admin closure. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 16:32, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have been watching this for a long time. The majority of WP editors, and good editors too, do not have a mental grasp on this policy. Whenever it is cited, especially in AfD debates, 80% to 90% of the editors who weigh in have no understanding of the concept. (I am assuming good faith that they are not willfully ignoring it.) A policy that is not understood by the people it is supposed to guide is useless. It's time for this one to go. Borock (talk) 16:19, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Please note that there is no article called Wikipedia is not a dictionary. If you are trying to nominate the page Wikipedia is not a dictionary for deletion, that is a project page and must be listed at Miscellany for deletion. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 16:22, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I checked that out. I'm afraid that I'm Beating a dead horse. But in this case it made me feel better. :-).  Go ahead and undo it. Borock (talk) 16:24, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
