A tag on the article reads "This page has been copied to Wiktionary. Is it still needed in Wikipedia?" The answer is no - its unencyclopedic because its a dictionary-style list of words with little or no other analysis beyond dictionary definitions of those words.

- Merge back into Auto-antonym which could use a selection of the best, well-sourced examples. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:17, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- Ask the folk at Wiktionary if this would be suitable for an appendix - seems the kind of thing they're interested in (the "appendix" area being rather more varied than their normal entries), so may well be worth a transwiki. TheGrappler (talk) 20:04, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
- Make the page a soft redirect to wikt:Appendix:Contranyms. That page contains some of the same content on this one, plus a link to the transwiki-ed version of this one. Cnilep (talk) 15:00, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

- Absolutely keep, although merge is OK as a compromise. Speaking as a professional puzzler, this is an excellent topic to benefit from wiki fertilization, and, while such lists generally have a little lack of polish, any cleanup necessary is much easier than with some of these other rescue attempts. I don't believe soft redirects to Wiktionary are proper, and the title "list of" won't be a search phrase anyway. No, just keep like the last deletion debate. Nom ignores that the very selection of the two antonymous definitions from among several is the analysis that makes them unique. Tap me if you want help bluing the Dave Morice redlink. Might also drop "in English" from the title, on en.wikipedia anyway. JJB 07:15, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
