This article has no clearly defined topic. It's merely a definition of the adjectival title along with a bunch of examples of things that are (possibly) counterintuitive, mixed together with a little bit of personal reflection essay. At the very least, WP:TNT applies – there's nothing here to salvage. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 02:12, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or soft redirect to Wiktionary. Article is poorly sourced WP:OR/WP:ESSAY and given the topic, it's unlikely it could ever be anything else. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 02:46, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is true that we are not WP:NOTDICT. This topic requires more investigation. Lightburst (talk) 03:10, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not sure this helps, but here is an entry from the Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:20, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Transwikify. (a rarely used AfD option) by WP:SOFTREDIR to the Wiktionary page. The page already exists there and is in decent shape, and nothing needs to be salvaged from this particular page per WP:NOTDICT policy. Kingofaces43 (talk) 13:50, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
