I'm about to start disambiguating all the links to this page. I expect to find most of them link to the dictionary definitions meaning 'first appearance' but the dicdef is unlikely ever to be an article and it wouldn't be helpful to link them to debutante, so I suspect they may need to be unlinked in most cases. I'll report back if I turn out to be wrong. ~ Veledan • Talk 19:53, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I find very it quite strange when linking the word debut to end up on this page where not a word is mentioned about the usual meaning of the word. Adding it now. -- SergeWoodzing ( talk) 12:56, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
When linking the word debut in an article about a first time pertformance or publication, one arrived at this page without a short description of the common general meaning of a word [which] can be appropriate for helping the reader determine context (quoting our guideline again). Very surprising lack of information. I've only tried to improve the page according to that guideline. Nobody else can see the problem, and nobody else is really interested in solving it? I cannot understand why, re: both of those questions. -- SergeWoodzing ( talk) 17:14, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

I have tried to get help in resolving what I see as a very embarrassing WP problem. When linking the word debut in an article about a first time performance or publication, one has arrived at this page without a short description of the common general meaning of a word [which] can be appropriate for helping the reader determine context (quoting our guideline again). Very surprising lack of information. Can anything be done to keep the current short description of the common general meaning of a word which keeps getting removed? I have now been warned for edit warring in trying to keep it and/or trying to get help to solve the problem in some way. I apologize to anyone who feels I've been disruptive.

A short description of the common general meaning of a word can be appropriate for helping the reader determine context). It is used occasionally, especially for words with a common non-encyclopedic meaning. However, I agree with WhatamIdoing that this is not what Serge is describing. older ≠ wiser 17:39, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
