This is just a dictionary definition, sourced to an online dictionary. Ideally, we'd redirect to Americanophilia, which is what the article ought to be called if we are to have an article about this subject, but since that article doesn't exist I don't see what else to do. (Happy to support a redirect to an appropriate target if one can be identified) GirthSummit (blether) 09:55, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Even if it is currently just a dictionary definition at this point, this is a relevant enough topic that deserves its own page. More edits will be made. There are no appropriate targets where this can be added to which means that it, with some more additions, is a viable page. PiPhiTau ( talk) 15:42, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- PiPhiTau, it's possible that we should have an article on Americanophilia, and I wouldn't be averse to this being draftified while you work it up into an article with appropriate reliable sources, but as it stands it's a dictionary definition, sourced to a dictionary, which per WP:NOTDICTIONARY isn't really a valid article.

Alright then, I see you point, I'll finish it when I have time, GirthSummit PiPhiTau ( talk) 12:52, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- PiPhiTau, would you like me to draftify it for you?If you consent to that, we could close this discussion. GirthSummit (blether) 08:24, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Yes, I'm fine with that. PiPhiTau ( talk) 13:48, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
