Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pwn (3rd nomination)
WP:DICDEF is commonly misuderstood as meaning that we should delete something.  It doesn't as the main point of that policy is that "In Wikipedia, things are grouped into articles based on what they are, not what they are called by."  This is harder than it sounds because editors are commonly too literal-minded to accept different words as synonyms.  So, we have separate articles for cacography; catachresis; eye dialect; sensational spelling; &c. even though these are closely related concepts.  Pwn has a similar meaning to words like domination; exultation;humiliation;jeer;victory;&c. but if we were to try merging it then there will be complaints about sourcing and synthesis.  It's best kept separate while the worst case would be merger into the glossary of video game terms.  It is our |policy that "there is no practical limit to the number of topics Wikipedia can cover" and so we need not stint ourselves
