The reason I'm asking is that some of the wanted pages are for words like "keep", which would be fine as dictionary entries but not much of an encyclopedia entry. Should items be removed from the list if they'd basically be dictionary definitions? --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 15:33, 26 November 2008 (EST)

:No, they shouldn't be removed just because they're basically dictionary definitions. They may start out that way, but over time they should be improved to be more than definitions. Since these pages will be linked to news articles, there is the potential for conservative/liberal insights for these words/phrases. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 15:45, 26 November 2008 (EST)

::I understand, and I'm not suggesting censorship of potential articles before they have a chance. Words like "valid" may be worth an article, for example. These would be the words on the current list I'm thinking of, which just don't seem to have potential beyond definition-stubs - I'll try to add a few of the others each week:
::: restlessness, enthusiasm, assess, anticipate, remind, celebrate, attempt, national
::: poise(d), provide, sprinkle/sprinkling, Hundred, insist, particular, reinforce
::: instigate, condemns, late, call, same, more, clear, keep, everybody, course
::: longtime, avoid, participation, despite, involvement, sleazy, impressive, creatures
