Anyway, not that big a deal. So the next problem I have is that there don't seem to be any notability guidelines. Is the word "computer" notable? If so, why isn't there yet an encyclopedia entry for such a common word? There's certainly quite a lot that can be said about the word.
Well, is there interesting or relevant material published in a reliable source? How did we get from "difference engine" to "computer"?
And I guess if "Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary" is more explicit about being a formatting guideline, and not an inclusion guideline, that would then reflect the de facto policy.
Appropriate, although that language has been there probably since Larry Sanger.
