The result was Delete. While the opinions are divided, the delete opinions have the stronger arguments, with some of the keeps clearly incorrect. E.g. "it's a well-established basic principle that we cover what conventional encyclopedias do": has any other encyclopedia an article on "Abbreviations listed in the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica"? Apart from that, why has no one trouted Richard Arthur Norton and reversed his move-to-another-namespace-during-AfD? Fram (talk) 14:34, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't encyclopedic content; by definition it is dictionary material, and no improvement is possible. The previous AfD was a very weak close and if it weren't ten months ago I'd have gone to DRV instead. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 12:57, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This list contains totally arbitrary criteria for inclusion (what's so important about 1911 or the Encyclopaedia Britannica 11th edition as a place to find abbreviations?) and appears to be composed of nothing but original research. I can't imagine any third-party sources having ever commenting upon such a grouping of information so the subject matter also fails our notability guidelines. Interesting? Yes, so perhaps a transwiki is in order, but this material is definitely not fit for an encyclopedia article. The relevant policies and guidelines include WP:OR, WP:STAND, WP:V, WP:N, WP:IINFO, and WP:NOT#DIR. ThemFromSpace 00:59, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
