[edit] God (word)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This is dictionary material. I'm nominating the following entries for deletion for the same reason:

• man (word)
• orange (word)

• Keep all. All three have far more information than would be appropriate for a dictionary definition. Wikipedia not being a dictionary doesn't mean Wikipedia can't have encyclopedia articles about individual words. —Angr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 22:33, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Note how rape (word), a similar article to these was deleted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rape (word). These should be deleted too. Etymologies are for a dictionary, not Wikipedia. RightGot (talk) 22:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep all -- these are not dicdefs. SeanMD80^{talk | contribs} 23:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy keep - spurious nomination by troll. See User_talk:RightGot, User_talk:RightGot/Archive_1 and WP:ANI#RightGot andy (talk) 23:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep "Orange", Delete "God" and "Man". "God" and "Man" are, per nom, just about etymology (with some irrelevant Tolkien material in "Man", which is already covered in Man (Middle-earth)): "Orange" is actually about the _word_, particularly about its famous non-rhymability.

• Speedy keep per andy. Jonathan 00:18, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
