This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen in all my time on
Knowledge (XXG). We don't delete articles because they are in rough shape I believe that is a core principle of Knowledge (XXG). Knowledge (XXG) is a huge base of knowledge, and we should not be deleting articles on huge topics. There are

Really I have no idea why broad and notable subjects like this are brought to AfD when so much else exists that needs to be cleaned out of here. This is exactly the type of topic that one would expect in a paper encyclopedia and we have to cover the basics before we think of approaching the realms
710:
Thanks for your input. As I see it, this should be the top-level article in a tree, outlining the general concept of adventure and then providing an introduction to related detailed topics like adventure tourism, adventure playgrounds, adventure fiction, etc, which would be dealt with in separate
314:. That may have been part of the motivation for creating the wiki page(which has existed for over 8 years!) I don't think WP:NOTDICT really applies; "adventure" is a very broad concept which could be covered in an encyclopedic fashion. Maybe something like

Yeah, a magnet for every kind of OR and vandalism, but not a topic that can be covered sufficiently in a dictionary. Comments such as "Paragliding has been popular for being adventurous" should be deleted right away, to set the right tone.

Wikitionary. It is just to complicated a term for a simple definition. This is nonsense.--

and improve. There is a significant literature, for example, on the psychology of adventure and risk-taking, which eventually this article I imagine could cover. --

520:
It is, indeed, currently a mish-mash. I suggest the odd list of "adventurers" is a failing here, and that it couldwell dwellon the "why" of adventure a bit more.
642:, even Britannica, a notable paper (and online) encyclopedia, does not have an article specifically for "Adventure", at least the last time I checked.

It is better to tag debatable statements for attention first. I had no difficulty finding a good source to support the statement about paragliding.

BTW - if the consensus is delete, could you give me a heads up and I'll import to
Wikiversity since philosophy of adventure is a standar part of
