There's a commented-out note that says "No Examples, please. For some reason they just devolve into complaints. This just defines the term.", and it dates back to before 2012; wouldn't surprise me if someone just added it on their own initiative.
Fast Eddie unilaterally deleted the examples because they devolved into complaining (I assume)

It appears nw09 went ahead and added examples anyway. Was that allowed, or no?

Yeah, I think we jumped the gun a little bit on that.
Since the examples were added back to Personal Dictionary without consensus, I mod reverted
Macron's notes
Can we come to a consensus then?
Since this was Eddie-mandated, I made the note visible instead of commented-out (similarly to more recently added definition-only notices) and added it to the Definition-Only Pages index since its absence from that index was due to an oversight. Overturning Eddie's fiat would require TRS.

Is there a reason why Personal Dictionary has no on-page examples?
