Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of languages by number of words
This is a very problematic way of comparing languages, and constitutes , incompetently done. Example: The entry for Dutch, based on the 14th edition of the Van Dale lists the number of Words as 90,000. Had one of the contributors instead used the Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal the ''Approximate number of words'' would have increased fivefold, to 450,000. The aim of the article per https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AList_of_languages_by_number_of_words&type=revision&diff=734928550&oldid=734921007 appears to be to establish the POV that some languages are "richer"  than others. To use the word count in a dictionary for that is ahem, unscientific
