Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Closed community
Excuse me.  specifically states the major differences between an encyclopedia and dictionary. For Wiktionary, "articles are about the actual words or idioms in their title and all the things it can denote. The entry octopus is about the word "octopus": its part of speech, its pluralizations, its usage, its etymology, its translations into other languages, and so forth." For Wikipedia, "articles are about a person, or a people, a concept, a place, an event, a thing etc. that their title can denote. The article octopus is about the animal: its physiology, its use as food, its scientific classification, and so forth." The delete and move suggestion to Wiktionary certainly runs counter to Wikipedia policy. Also, not being able to find discussions of a concept is not a sufficient reason for deletion. Multiple sources describing the concept are available. I want to expand this stub at a later date
