:There's no conspiracy at all, I have had no communications with anyone off wiki. I just think that this page is policy, for the reasons I have already given. It's a policy used to delete and change article, it's a near-absolute is not.- () Wolfkeeper   

 :The problem is that dictionary articles and encyclopedia articles don't work together in the same wiki. Roughly speaking an encyclopedia article pulls all the synonyms together into one article where the commonalities and differences can be discussed together more easily, because they have a lot in common, and the dictionary pulls them apart to separate articles, based simply on their name. That's why wikis have to be one way (encyclopedia) or the other (dictionaries), otherwise the articles fight. It's a hard policy. It would have been more obviously needed when the wikipedia was new, because people were a bit less familiar with the subtleties of encyclopedias and people were working out where to put things more; but it's still needed, it just was more obvious.- () Wolfkeeper
