:::I don't necessarily with the creation of '''Pedantry''' but it seems to me that would be a new article rather than a move of the current article. Certainly once it's created we can redirect, but until that's the case I'm not convinced [[Pedant]] should remain. <span style="font-family:Didot;font-size:90%;">[[User:Skipple|<span style="color: #063891">''' - Skipple'''</span>]] [[User talk:Skipple|<span style="color: #063891">☎</span>]]</span> 13:18, 12 May 2024 (UTC) |

Dictionary definition with etymology. Violates WP:NOTDICT. - Skipple ☎ 03:25, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Keep - I don't wish to be, er. pedantic here, but the criterion for notability is not whether the article is poorly-cited, but whether there are suitable sources out there in the world. Pedantry is unfortunately definitely a notable topic. Sources include the famous essay Of Pedantry by Michel de Montaigne, alongside a mass of modern research papers on a wide variety of aspects of pedantry. A good newspaper article is Why do pedants pedant? in The Guardian. There's plenty more out there. The article needs to be rewritten, but that's not a matter for AfD.
