All it contained was prefixes.
- Striking. Pointless request; in a minute I thought of two rhymes and added them. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 19:59, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter if it only contains prefixes. It would be like nominating a rhymes page for deleting because it only contains verbs. Renard Migrant (talk) 21:10, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, it does matter, since prefixes are always followed by one or more syllables in actual use, so the rhyme for the word is, by definition, different than the rhyme for the prefix. While it's true that poetic license will let you violate the rules by separating prefixes from words, it's also true that you can accent the wrong syllable and force rhymes. We don't allow such things in our rhymes categories, so we shouldn't allow prefixes, either. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:55, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
