This is the only page I've ever encountered with subdefinitions. While the definitions are alright, they need to be reorganized Purplebackpack89 (Notes Taken) (Locker) 15:25, 25 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

There most likely are other entries with sub-definitions... — This comment was unsigned.
They're extremely rare, but they are used. Renard Migrant (talk) 14:09, 5 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
I don't see a cleanup problem. There is some room for quality improvement in the definitions. For example, there is a missing sense, somewhat analogous to the economics definition, for marginal probability, but that kind of improvement opportunity characterizes many entries.

Subsenses are fine. The entry seems to have no (other) problems. - -sche (discuss) 22:00, 26 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
