Comment: The phrase is not a neologism.  In the first place, it's not a single word and the words are all quite ancient.   And in the second, a http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=h4VEAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA97 quick search shows the phrase to have in general usage back in 1848.  Our |policy on dictionary matters explains that we should group topics together by their meaning, not alphabetically.  This is not achieved by deletion.  If we wanted to consolidate the material, then we might merge into list of proverbial phrases and thence to the general concept of futility.  What we should not do is simply destroy the link as this would be |disruptive, |disrespectful to the contributor and unhelpful to our readership
