WP:NOT#DICTIONARY - unsourced essay that basically defines the noun. Article had a failed PROD. Toddst1 (talk) 16:17, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Submission withdrawn by nominator in favor of a complete rewrite. Toddst1 (talk) 18:00, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The White House even published an article called Philotimo. This is old Greek, and not as many citations are going to be found on the first page of a google search. That doesn't mean it can't be verified and isn't required by WP:V, it means verification requires more effort and maybe a trip to your library. That said, the "noun" is more than a word or WP:DICDEF, it is a concept, a philosophy from antiquity. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:41, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to add, just using the scholar link on this AFD should convince anyone. Regardless of how much work the article needs, the topic meets the criteria for inclusion. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:42, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
