This page shows meanings of words. Because a glossary is like a dictionary, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 18:58, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, per all kinds of stuff. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:28, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. This page was made to explain Wikipedia jargon to new users; without it, new users would be confused what a "CfD" or "GA" is. Also, glossaries aren't dictionaries. Maka (talk 🎃 contribs) 19:42, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy keep. The nominator provides a very strange rationale. Wikipedia is not a dictionary — right, so what? What does that have to do with the need for a page like this, or with the price of tea in China? Bishonen | tålk 20:00, 12 October 2020 (UTC).

- Speedy keep. Glossaries by definition are not dictionaries. To clarify the policy I suggest going to WP:VPPOL for your proposal. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:39, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary is about article space, and what articles we create, it doesn't apply to Wikipedia space. This is a jargon busting tool to help editors, so clearly useful. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:48, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
