[edit] Economics glossary

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. See WP:NOT. Specificially, Wikipedia is not a list of dictionary definitions. I know that some glossaries exist, but they are significantly more specific than "economics". A glossary on as broad a subject as economics would simply become far too big to be manageable. I believe the terms in this glossary should be moved to their own articles, then this glossary should be deleted. Mat334 08:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete abusive list, unworthy of encyclopedic attention --Mecanismo 11:39, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
• I have merged the useful content from the list to other pages, and deleted some of the junk, such as the definition of abundance, which belongs purely in a dictionary. Now it is just a random list of a few terms. Please delete! Mat334 20:04, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
