WP:NOTDICTIONARY. This article is only a dicdef and the term is more fit for Wiktionary. The AfD 10 years ago resulted in zero improvement. Should simply be deleted, then redirected to the disambiguation page (which should be moved to Know-It-All). ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:43, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

- Soft redirect to wikt:know-it-all. Simple as that. ミラP 21:05, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- My reading of the 2009 AfD is consensus that the article has potential, based on earlier versions that were not mere dictionary definitions. I notice, though, that those versions assert that know-it-all is partially a synonym for smart aleck and partially for polymath. As ]
- Addendum: Given the number of incoming links from fictional characters such as Cliff Clavin and Oscar Martinez (The Office), a soft redirect is appropriate, as Miraclepine suggests. Cnilep (talk) 02:45, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
