  • Comment The word is mentioned in Wiktionary and American Heritage Dictionary . Can't see any concrete point against the article .--IncMan 14:57, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
    • Being a word mentioned in AHD and Wiktionary is no guarantee of a Wikipedia article. Dictionaries are about words. Wikipedia is about people, places, concepts, events, and things; not about words. Many words are not the titles of articles about people, places, concepts, events, and things. Further: Many words that are, do not represent distinct people, places, concepts, events, and things. (The converse is true, too. That something is the title of an encyclopaedia article does not warrant its entry in a dictionary. New Zealand general election 2005 is not a word that warrants a dictionary entry, for example.)
