Wikipedia:Glossary

 * – (View MfD)

This page shows meanings of words. Because a glossary is like a dictionary, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 18:58, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, per all kinds of stuff. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:28, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. This page was made to explain Wikipedia jargon to new users; without it, new users would be confused what a "CfD" or "GA" is. Also, glossaries aren't dictionaries. Maka (talk 🎃 contribs) 19:42, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary is about article space, and what articles we create, it doesn't apply to Wikipedia space. This is a jargon busting tool to help editors, so clearly useful. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:48, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
