WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_dictionary or a collection of lists. What's the value of this page? -Jcbarr 02:22, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia articles are not dictionary definitions, or lists of dictionary definitions, or mere collections of internal links
Except for:
I beleive this page is good for those who want to learn about literary terms they may not know about without having to find a 3rd-party list.

This page would be better if the elements were broken up into several categories. So many of them have to do with poetry, that it is difficult to find them for writing.

No, don't delete. This would be better if turned into a category, or perhaps into several categories. I guess the English majors don't have as easy a time figuring out wiki syntax as the computer science majors. All their lists are categories! --Metzenberg 11:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

NO don't delete this list; it will be a valuable in time. I've just added a comprehensive "Further reading" list and tried to clean it up a bit. I'll continue to expand it and clean it up now that I know that it exists. --WassermannNYC 15:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Someone needs to add "context", I came here looking for that page to give to someone as a reference but their isn't a literary page concerning "context" which seems very basic and necessary for completeness. Bryanpeterson 16:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Don't delete it! It is very informative for poets who are hungry for a further knowledge of how to use the terms in the list. ktn1
