Although this is a charming word, the Wikipedia isn't not a dictionary. This article is on the subject of stupidity which the Wikipedia already has an article on. The article cannot reasonably be changed to give an encyclopedic entry, since the topic is a word, extending it would only result in the addition of things like the usage of the word in history and so forth and its etymology etc. The Wikipedia is not about the usage of words either, except in the most general sense. The lexical companion already has that kind of information, and any more information should be placed in the more appropriate place. The Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary and is not about the meaning or usage of words. Given that the synonymous article exists, the article should be deleted. Given the scope of the article, this article cannot be saved.- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 15:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
