var dataArguments = ['args1','arg2','arg3','arg4'];

var bucket =[];

$.when.apply($,$.map(dataArguments, function(arg){
    
    //here you setup and return an ajax request
    //for example
    var ajaxData = {term:arg, somethingelse:0};
    return $.ajax({
      type:"get",
      data: ajaxData,
      url: "something that comes from somewhere",
      success : function(serverData) {
        //do some processing on your serverData if need be
        //then push the results in the bucket
        bucket.push(serverData);
      }
    });
})).then(function(data) {
  //this is executed when all ajax calls have been completed
  //we dont really care for the data var here. Since we already processed our serverData and put it into the bucket
  
  console.log(bucket); //<-- contains your processed data
  
  //if your not doing a collection via the bucket variable
  //then the arguments var will contain all the arguments for this function, where each argument is basically an argument list 
  //for the success handler
  
  arguments //<-- iterate through this var to process all your results
  
});
