It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, an annual sled dog race held in Alaska, USA. Seems to be way out of Wiktionary's scope --Rising Sun talk? contributions 20:51, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

- We can absolutely not. This is commonly used in AmE with no context. See e.g. [1], [2], [3]. I'm not sure what criterion applies to it, though.—msh210℠ 17:26, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- Keep, as it is what the town is known for. But perhaps a better solution is changing the def to something like, "A town in Alaska, famous for its annual dog sled race".--Dmol 22:11, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- See the cites I linked to above. The race itself is called "the Iditarod", colloquially. I suspect most Books hits, at least in fiction, for "Iditarod" will actually be for "the Iditarod", meaning the race. (I haven't checked, though.)—msh210℠ 16:42, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
