Since when is a Glossary NOT a List?

If I create yet another list for alternative medicine it will be deleted. The only reason that the List of terms and concepts used in alternative medicine was not deleted is because it was renamed Glossary of alternative medicine. It is seems that the criteria for inclusion on this list is quite a bit absurd from my very basic point of view. -- John Gohde 03:01, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Straw poll and discussion concerning what outlines should be called

A discussion is underway that may affect the name of this article.

See: Wikipedia talk:Outlines#Should articles named "Outline of x" be renamed to "List of x topics"?

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:06, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
