Location of similes

[edit]

This page does not belong in the appendix. The terms should be defined, included in Category:Similes (or in Category:Similes comparing adjectives and Category:Similes comparing verbs), and then this page should be deleted. Ncik 02:47, 17 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • I agree. I wrote this page ages ago, long before categories were well established. It was always intended just to be a place to dump them until such time as some other system came up to classify them, so categorising them is certainly the way to go. — Paul G 16:41, 17 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

@John Cross I intend to propose the deletion of this appendix once all the red links are gone (see here). I don't think there's much point in completing it; it's redundant with CAT:English similes anyway. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 23:28, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
