Glossary of exercise terms

This article, although labeled as a glossary, seems more like a very random collection of elementary-level dictionary definitions. A double Prod tag that raised WP:DICDEF concerns was removed the article's creator. Warrah (talk) 21:07, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Response from the article creator. This weekend I stumbled across the inactive Health and Fitness project, which I decided I'd get going again. This article was in the "to do" box as a requested article, so I started it. I tagged the page {{newpage}} (which I see has been removed) as I was unfamiliar with the glossary MoS. The short entries were so I could build the page, and I removed the hasty DICDEF tag because I felt that the newpage tag made it quite clear that I was working on the article and was familiar with the appropriate guidelines. The addition of short "B" entries was so I could see how {{TOC}} worked. Ordinarily I would have started this in user space but I was hoping that the reactivation of the portal would encourage other users to take a look and start helping. I stronly disagree with this AfD and that this article is in anyway inappropriate, but I will cease further work until an outcome as I don't want to waste my time Thedarxide (talk) 07:37, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Inappropriate article for Wikipedia, basically an attempt at a dictionary (from A to B?). --MelanieN (talk) 03:23, 15 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

Delete per WP:DICDEF. Including glossaries would be a mess in WP. > RUL3R^>trolling_>vandalism 01:22, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then the following need to go - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents/List_of_glossaries Thedarxide (talk) 07:34, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: looking through the list here, I can see we've had a lot of AfD discussions on "glossary" articles, and there seem to be comparable amounts of keep, delete, and no consensus outcomes. I had seconded the PROD on this one, but would now say I'm neutral leaning toward delete if only because this does not seem like a particularly useful glossary. But if WikiProject Health and Fitness thinks it is, then who am I to argue. --Glenfarclas (talk) 05:39, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well a general decision would be nice, because Glossary of nutrition terms & Glossary of public health terms are on there too. Personally, I think the one under debate and nutrition would be useful, but public health terms leaves me stumped. I don't know whether that's an American term?
