remains a featured article, even if it is "about a word". My opinion remains that all of the basic grammatical particles of the
English language are rich in historic resonance and unusual features, and complications that want explanation in their usage, that go well beyond what a dictionary could
817:. This article goes beyond a dictdef; personally came here looking for "aye," lots of room for expansion here. Why is this Parliamentary usage in particular (votes/lobbies?) Also some languages don't typically use "yes/no" in the way English does, maybe should be covered here. --

This isn't a vote, it's a discussion, and it's quite common and well accepted for a nominator to state a position after the nomination. Not as common as letting the nomination speak for itself, but common enough that any admin will recognize it, which is the only reason it could
543:, although normally I don't think dicdefs have any place here, I consider these three to be basic concepts of thought rather than just ordinary words. Besides, deleting them would leave a very odd looking "primary use of this term was here" hole on their disambig pages.
873:- yes, I find it very unfortunate when good articles are deleted in AfD because "nobody's improving the article". If you find the article needs improvement, why not tack on a cleanup tag instead of sending it to AfD?

Knowledge. That would be fine, except for the fact that

Every single word is used differently in other languages! Either improve the articles or delete them, and since nobody cares to improve it, it should be deleted.

This article is very much like a dictionary entry, and should be changed to a disambiguation page with a brief definition on the top, such as the

That's an overexaggeration. But the ones that have not been worked on for quite some time (a few years) should be deleted.
