How to prevent pagebreak in description environment

Question

I have a simple List in the description Environment.

\begin{description}
  \item [item] number one
  \item [item] number two
\end{description}

there is a new new page between the first item and the second. Is there a way to prevent this? I'd rather have the complete list coherent on a new page.

How do you want it to behave when there's more than a pageworth of items? — Brent.Longborough, Aug 01 '11 at 18:20

\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
\begin{description}
  \item [item] number one
  \item [item] number two
\end{description}
\end{minipage}

@Nico: Try add more and more items until the minipage gets cropped. :-) – Display Name Aug 01 '11 at 18:02
it seems the minipage is "eating" some vertical space after it. The next paragraph comes very close. Any solution for this ? – Ciprian Tomoiagă Mar 01 '18 at 03:29
Use \par after the minipage – Mar 01 '18 at 06:26
