WF marked this for speedy deletion with the comment "nothing special here". It isn't the kind of thing that should be speedied, so I'm bringing it here. While I can see the argument that it's enshrining the obvious in list form, I'm not so sure, myself, that this should be deleted, especially since there are so many transwikis that are far more deserving of the honor (for some reason, the transporter accident from the first Star Trek movie comes to mind when I think about those...).

- Keep. What's wrong with an appendix collecting instances of a certain linguistic function? bd2412 T 13:57, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
- It needs a better title but it does seem to have a specific enough function to be kept. If it were just all nouns ending in -ness, a category would be much better, but it isn't. Renard Migrant (talk) 14:35, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
- @Renard Migrant See Category:English words suffixed with -ness, which is almost what you want, but is all that CodeCat will let us do. DCDuring TALK 14:45, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
