GG5: "いいこと【好い事･善い事】"
  Comments: 
Taking into account GG5's inclusion of it, and the fact that we roll 好い and 善い into the same entry, I'm inclined to keep it.

  Comments: 
I'm not sure 善い事 belongs in this entry.

The 国語s only have 好い事 and define it as "うれしいこと", "楽しいこと", "おもしろいこと", etc.  It's "good" in the pleasant sense rather than the moral one.
