This probably doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Maybe Wiktionary is more appropriate. Ibn Daud (talk) 00:18, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy delete - I suspect this is an uncontroversial deletion. This is definitely not what Wikipedia is for. Interstellarity (talk) 00:27, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy delete Wikipedia is WP:NOT for this. dibbydib boop or snoop 00:32, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy delete - It is definitely WP:NOT - Aaqib Anjum Aafī (talk) 02:41, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy delete per everyone above. For the benefit of future editors who see this AfD after the page has been deleted, there is nothing in this article but a bulleted list of words starting with the letter X, with no definitions, pronunciations, or other dictionary-type content. But the list is not even in alphabetical order. I have no idea why this page was created. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:58, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy delete, possibly per WP:G2. This page is gonna be deleted anyway, but for the record, strictly speaking, WP:NOT is not a rationale for speedy deletion. I would say this is caught by WP:G2, as this seems to be a list someone created to test the editing functions of Wikipedia. I'll assume good faith and say they probably intended to create this in their user pages, not in article namespace. --Dps04 (talk) 05:32, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

- Delete: we aren't a dictionary. JavaHurricane 06:51, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy delete per the above. - Flori4nKT A L K 12:22, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
Pointy Keep. A quick search shows obvious passage of WP:LISTN. Tons and tons of sources discussing this as a group. But I don't know if that means this should be kept or that LISTN is broken. Probably LISTN is broken. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 13:01, 28 May 2020 (UTC)- Of course, the subject of this article is really "List of English words beginning with X", not "X word" in general, so a rename is also called for. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 13:28, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Deacon Vorbis, this made me smile. However, I have to nitpick. The lead section of WP:N, of which you have cited a section, explicitly excludes content that is listed in WP:NOT, such as WP:NOT#DICT. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:08, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

- Snow delete per everyone. This article is just a plain waste of space. Ajf773 (talk) 20:20, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
