 * We wouldn't want an entry for "1918 influenza pandemic", because it's not in use as a lexical unit. It's what we call "Sum of Parts". This is a dictionary, not an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is interested in presenting information about the subject of a phenomenon that happened a century ago, in all of its aspects. We're only interested in providing information about the phrase "Spanish influenza" as a phrase. We provide links to Wikipedia articles so that readers can find out about the subject. We don't need or want to cover the same ground. Chuck Entz (talk) 13:31, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I am not a regular here so I am unsure about this. It seems like a single unbreakable unit of a term to me. Thanks for the response, I will think about this especially in context of Wikidata's management of the similar synonym lists.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  16:10, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Commentary on this issue from April 2020 by American cultural icon : May also want to see 's piece on euphemisms:  I'm telling you all, this is the fascist policies of the Communist Party of China attempting to instantiate its power on the English language. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 00:17, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
