*Per [[WP:WINAD]], lists of words and definitions are not encyclopedic. Indeed, as per [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Lists of words]], "''Article about "Words of <foo>" may be okay. "List of words of <foo>" to Wiktionary.''". We have an article about [[sexual slur]]s, but the list is not appropriate here. Common practice is to move these to Wiktionary, link them from the main Wikipedia aticle, and delete the wikipedia lists. So, '''delete'''.

* '''Keep''' per all the arguments for keeping on the list of words page. I see plenty of value in lists of this type. I also note this article has repeatedly survived AfD (this has got to be the 3rd or 4th nom) including the previous round in July by the same nominator. --[[User:JJay|JJay]] 01:29, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

**I see lots of value in this list, too. That's why it has been transwikied to Wiktionary where I will myself clean it up. But valuable is not the same thing as encyclopedic. Could you give a reason for why it is encyclopedic? [[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]]·[[User talk:Dmcdevit|t]] 05:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. What has changed since last July? There was no concensus then, there's no concensus now. This fully sourced list complies with [[WP:NPOV]], [[WP:V]], and [[WP:OR]]. No reason to delete. --[[User:Daniel Olsen|Daniel Olsen]] 01:57, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

**As above, could I ask you to provide a rational for why this is encyclopedic? It was transwikied a few days ago. I realize there wasn't found to have been consensus a last time around, but one of the principles of AfD and deletion in general is that it is inconsistent. It's inevitable. Can you give a ''reason'' for why there shouldn't be such consensus now? [[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]]·[[User talk:Dmcdevit|t]] 05:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' From [[WP:NOT]]: ''"Wikipedia is not a dictionary or a usage or jargon guide. Wikipedia articles are not...[l]ists of such definitions...usage guide[s] or slang and idiom guide[s]"''. [[WP:V]] and [[WP:NPOV]] are irrelevant, since they refer to encyclopedia articles. This is a list of dictionary defintions.
