Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Verbosity
Google Scholar shows over ''25,000'' hits for "verbosity"; the first few pages of hits shows dozens of papers where verbosity is the main topic. Most of these papers are on the topic of the occurrence of verbosity in the conversation of older people; it is an active topic in gerontology and cognitive psychology. Verbosity is also an important topic in writing style; most style guides I have seen mention it. This is a highly notable topic. The article itself could use development of the psychological aspect and more neutrality in the style section. Many short paragraphs make the prose seem disjoined. But these are all surmountable problems of ordinary editing, per . A highly notable topic and surmountable article problems suggest keeping the article
