 * Substituting one word with another whose meaning is very close to the original, but in a non-reciprocal fashion; that is, one could not use the first, original word as a substitute for the second. This is the opposite of acoloutha.

Thread:User talk:Internoob/Can I get rid of red letter pluralization that automatically populates new pages/reply (5)

If there is a plural, the way you have it at Yakima is exactly right assuming Yakimas is the plural of Yakima. I assume that if it has a plural, it also means "a person of the Yakima tribe"?

If you want an easy way of adding entries for these plurals, you can use WT:ACCEL and install it by selecting, in Special:Preferences, under the Gadgets tab, "Add accelerated creation links for common inflections of some words." Does this answer your question?

Oh, right. In that case, if they are replies to what you posted, they should be found under the thing you posted. "New Messages" is kind of a counter-intuitive name because they're not really like emails or anything.

Talk:喀斯特地形

喀斯特地形
SoP. karst + topography. Delete. Tooironic 21:46, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I will have to disagree with you today Tooironic. 喀斯特地形 is actually a more formal name for 喀斯特. The two are nothing but the same (ie. NOT sum of parts), analogous to this is their English equivalents karst and karst topography - which mean the same thing. The word karst implies a topography and saying karst topography (which I think should be included in the dict btw) simply states it more explicitly. Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 12:37, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * So you're saying karst = karst topography? Then why add karst topography at all? Again, it's sum of parts. Melbourne = Melbourne city, birch = birch tree, etc. PS Please sign your comments in the future so I know who I'm talking to. Tooironic 09:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I am torn between the two to be honest. There is an entry for karst topography on the zh wiki, which also influenced my earlier mindset. I was thinking more along the line of an analogy to sparrows; what we commonly call a sparrow is in fact an English sparrow or a house sparrow. We don't call them house sparrows because it's implied. PS: Sorry about having forgotten to include me signature earlier, it was not a gesture of attempting to conceal my identity, it was more like - oh mine, it suddenly got busy at work and everyone was trying to distract me type of thing Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 12:52, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

 * That the term is used as a Wikipedia title is no reason for inclusion on Wiktionary. So far no one has provided any arguments as to why it should be kept. Tooironic 08:31, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:solid

solid
Rfd-redundant: We already have this as an adjective. Does it exist without a copula? — msh210 ℠ 20:23, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * 1)  Without spaces or hyphens.
 * Many long-established compounds are set solid.
 * Is solid never an adverb? We talked for two hours solid. Can't we add a more general adverbial sense to this, then delete it as redundant to the first sense. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:08, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Are "spell", "print", "write", and "set" copulas? If not, then it would seem to be classed as an adverb. "Solid" does not seem to be interchangeable with "solidly". This would seem to be a case where our ability and willingness to be expansive in our defining allows us to reflect subtleties ignored even by MW3 and MWOnline, which join most dictionaries in showing solidly as if it were an inflected form of solid. Collins finds the following distinctions for solidly in its French-English dictionary.
 * firmly [built, constructed, based] (solidement),
 * continuously [work, rain] (sans discontinuer)
 * unanimously (massivement) "to be solidly behind"
 * dependably
 * consistently
 * I'm not sure I understand what they mean in each case and whether every distinction is really worth making, but solid could substitute as an adverb, I think, for "firmly", "continuously" (time), and "continuously" (space). Neither "solidly" nor solid seem readily interpreted with each of the many sense of solid or at least the many (14 at MWOnline, 26 at RHU) senses it should have in a comprehensive dictionary as we claim to be. DCDuring TALK 15:37, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think they are copulas, yes (or maybe copula is the wrong word? See further for other examples, though, so you can see what I mean in case "copula" isn't what I mean). "It was written solid" is like "It was written big" or "Coffee is often drunk black in this house" or "The meat was eaten raw". Are such words normally considered adverbs? — msh210 ℠ 17:36, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I only have CGEL to consult. I wish I had Quirk et al, Biber, and Curme, too. They refer to the kind of use in your three examples as "predicative adjunct". (It applies to a much wider range of verbs than the most inclusive list of copulas I've seen.)
 * I suppose we have to resort to the tests of adjectivity.
 * Are two words that part of the same NP more typographically solid when separated by an en-space than an em-space? (I can't answer that.)
 * Is it gradable? (I can't answer that, either.)
 * Can "solid" in this sense occur correctly predicatively after "become" (no), "feel" (no), "seem" (no?), "make" (yes?)?
 * Can "solid" appear attributively modifying a noun? "in its solid form, 'whitespace'" (yes).
 * Can it also be unquestionably an adverb? Possibly. "Some dictionaries tend to spell solid. Some usually hyphenate. Others usually space." There is no obvious noun. (One can almost always infer the existence of an "understood" noun.) It may not be attestable as an adverb though. DCDuring TALK 19:29, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

 * It looks cited to me, but I would probably say "substantial" rather than massive. Kiwima (talk) 10:15, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
 * That would be an improvement, IMO. DCDuring (talk) 13:51, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I made it "Large in size, quantity, or value" (taken from a def. at substantial) and added massive and substantial as synonyms. It is always a problem to rely exclusively on one-word definitions using polysemic words. Having a string of them often doesn't help. DCDuring (talk) 13:59, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

be solid for/with
Chambers 1908 has these (glossed as US English): be solid for, to be hearty or unanimous in favour of; be solid with, to have a firm footing with. Our adjective sense "strong or unyielding" seems to approach these, or maybe even covers them. Equinox ◑ 13:00, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:garden hose

garden hose
Wikipedia page notwithstanding, this is sum of parts: a hose one uses in or is found in the garden. Can be re-expressed as "yard hose", "backyard hose", "outside hose", etc. Delete. ---> Tooironic 09:44, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Not "sum of parts" as mentioned in the edit comment when created. Narrows the meaning of "hose" to just the "water" use, i.e. the phrase does not mean "stockings worn in the garden" or "a tube to hold up tomatoes or other vegetables in the garden, much like string or wire is usually used". A garden hose is also usually used to carry water, not other fluids. It also is a synonym for "hosepipe". The test is whether a person who is reasonably fluent in English and knows the component words would reasonably be able to figure out the meaning of the term without prior knowledge of it. Facts707 09:52, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

 * "yard hose" and "backyard hose" should also be there as alternative forms, although they are much less common according to Google. "Outside hose" should probably not be defined - it does not appear to mean a garden hose necessarily and could be any hose designed for outdoor use, including stockings (i.e. the meaning can only be determined by the context).

 * One can readily understand that "hose" - in a "garden" context - could easily refer to "a flexible tube conveying water" (indeed, it is the most common sense, and the Wiktionary entry for it reflects this). By your logic, we would include any common collocation as long as at least one of the words had more than one meaning. ---> Tooironic 12:10, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Right. Delete. —msh210℠ 16:25, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

 * My criteria are not ‘can someone easily work out the meaning of this?’, but rather ‘are these two words often used together in this language to designate a single specific idea?’, which is what I mean by idiomaticity and I suppose what I mean by a ‘set term’. Is this one? Maybe...the Wikipedia article is under this name, but on the other hand most people usually probably just call it ‘a hose’, so....I will abstain, I don't think it does much harm but equally I don't think it's greatly required. < class="latinx">Ƿidsiþ 19:04, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep, I think. My parents don't have what I'd call a "garden" – they don't have flowers or vegetables or herbs or the like — but they do have what I would call a "garden hose". If I heard one of the other potential phrases you give, "yard hose" or "backyard hose" or "outside hose", I'd probably understand it (at least, given enough context), but they're not phrase I'd use, and I don't remember ever coming across them. —Ruakh TALK 19:16, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I would read this collocation as referring to a garden-type hose, a hose of the type usually used in gardening. When the audience includes a large portion of middle-class homeowners and their families, this is a handy way to refer to it.
 * But it does not seem to be a set phrase. If this were a set phrase, I would not expect "fire and garden hose" to outnumber "fire hose and garden hose" at bgc, as it does, by 175 to 18. Among lemmings, only Wordnet and its fellow travelers include this.
 * Delete DCDuring TALK 20:15, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * But if it is "a hose of the type usually used in gardening," then again the signification (the actual type of hose) will be understood only by those who already know it. The meaning seems clearly not compositional, since "garden" implies nothing about diameter or material.  And although a reasonable Martian might guess that a "garden hose" is a hose of the garden sort, only someone already familiar with the term and/or its referent could plausibly guess to what sort of hose it refers.  -- Visviva 07:08, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Ruakh, you're arguing that it's a specific type of hose that can't be guessed from garden + hose (like barbecue sauce). Maybe. But I don't think of it as a specific type of hose, just a hose whose primary function is in the garden.
 * I a way, it is a certain type of hose. In tables of data about hoses and hose material, "garden hose" seems to be how the industry refers to the tubing used to make garden hoses. Thus there may be an uncountable sense, restricted to use in technical and business contexts, that is "idiomatic": "tubing suitable for the manufacture of household garden hoses".
 * But a "garden hose" used for another purpose might be called a "hose", "water hose", or "garden hose" (a hose I have for gardening, a hose that was sold for gardening, a hose someone might use for gardening, a hose of the most common type). It is not obvious that this is an idiom. My evidence above argues against it being a set phrase. It is somewhat evocative, having been used by President FD Roosevelt in 1940 to justify US aid to the UK before US entry into WWII and in similes such as "would be like trying to put out a fire raging in a New York skyscraper with a pail and a garden hose.".
 * If the countable sense is wiktionary-worthy, should we be specifying what accounts for its being a genus of standardized products (mass-produced, standard lengths, standard end fittings, designed for normal household water pressure)? DCDuring TALK 11:18, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm wearing my house-coat and my garden hose. —Michael Z. 2010-05-15 06:47 z

Well, seeing that one of the meanings of garden is pubic hair, I can see how some people might be confused. But the vast majority of people familiar with the term garden hose know it to be a hose of a certain diameter that is typically used in residential settings or sometimes for cleaning of windows or floors of retail stores, etc. That's what the entry is for, to show that the phrase has a particular meaning that is more than just "sum of parts". Incidentally, I had never heard of the term hosepipe: which apparently is a synonym of garden hose. Had it been "hose pipe", would the arguers for deletion here have argued that phrase is merely SoP since everyone knows it's just a hose connected to a pipe? Facts707 07:23, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm. We don't have hose bib, power washer, or power washing either. Does anyone think these are SoP? Because I plan to add them at some point when I have time. Facts707 08:29, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

On closer look, yard hose does not necessarily mean garden hose and could mean either a hose in a residential yard or a hose in a train yard. So entry not useful. Similarly, backyard hose seems to just mean a hose in someone's backyard as opposed to one in the front yard. So no point in that one either. Facts707 09:57, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

 * And a garden hose is a hose used in a garden. (And that entry is looking more encylopedic by the day.) ---> Tooironic 23:24, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Move to Wikipedia DCDuring TALK 01:41, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Keep. If none of my other arguments are sufficiently persuasive, I think we should keep it because it is a synonym of hosepipe:. Do we have a policy on this, similar to WT:COALMINE? Facts707 15:37, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

We also have front yard, which an English speaker could presumably figure out from the two words separately, but which is apparently deserving of an entry. Facts707 15:39, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

 * When I acquired my current house, it did not have a garden, but it did have a garden hose. And by that I mean no more or less than "the kind of hose they will sell you at the hardware store if you ask for a garden hose."  That such an understood meaning of the phrase exists seems like the very definition of idiomaticity, but, confusingly, it also seems to be used above as an argument for deletion.  To break it down:
 * Not all garden hoses are in or of gardens. Anecdotes aside, there are numerous non-garden-related quotes on b.g.c., e.g. "Use a garden hose to insulate electric wire."
 * Not all hoses that are in or of gardens are garden hoses. There are other types of hose that are used in gardening contexts; differing approaches to irrigation, for example, may involve either a soaker hose or a pressure hose.  It is even possible to envision a fire hose being used for irrigation/mulch/lining, but only in the most far-fetched scenarios would it ever be referred to as a "garden hose" ... even if the fire hose had been purchased specifically for garden use.
 * I can see no reason not to keep. -- Visviva 07:08, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Nonsense. How about “I'm using this fire hose as my garden hose?” Garden hose is the normal kind of hose used in the garden. If a guy once used a garden hose at his shop, that doesn't suddenly make the term idiomatic. The SOP term means “hose for the garden,” not “hose never ever used outside of gardens.” Delete —Michael Z. 2010-06-03 19:41 z

I don't know of English usage, but in Finnish puutarhaletku (calque of garden hose) refers to a certain type of hose, i.e. a hose designed for low pressure water distribution outdoors (does not tolerate heat, chemicals or pressure but is resistant to UV light and has a light armoring that looks like a net). The name comes from the principal use of this type of hose, but it is called puutarhaletku even if used for some other purpose. Of course I might call any hose that I happen to use in my garden puutarhaletku, but if I go to hardware store and use the word there, it has a specific meaning. If that's the case in English, the entry should probably be kept after rewriting the definition. The second definition is by far too specific. --Hekaheka 03:31, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

keep per WT:COALMINE as gardenhose is attestable. -- Prince Kassad 18:53, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * However attestable it is, it is neither attested nor is it in any OneLook reference. DCDuring TALK 20:17, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That would be an issue for RfV if you really want to challenge it. -- Prince Kassad 20:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Invoking WT:COALMINE without support of either authority or attestation seems to me to debase our processes. The point of these efforts is to improve valid entries as much as eliminate suspect ones. If the argument depends on WT:COALMINE than the premises of the argument should be sound, as they are not yet in this case. If we are to maintain some kind of lexicographic integrity, we should by default be citing entries that are not in other dictionaries. It is all the more necessary to avoid having entries of questionable value be made for rhetorical purposes. DCDuring TALK 22:24, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * In this case, garden hose appears in COCA 275 times, and gardenhose appears 0 times. I hope that whatever Google hits there may be do not prove to be scannos or blunders. DCDuring TALK 22:28, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * At BNC "garden hose" appears 17 times and "gardenhose" appears 0 times. Is there another term used in the UK for such a hose? DCDuring TALK 22:35, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * At BNC hosepipe gets 70 hits and hose pipe gets 15. Our entry says it is synonymous with garden hose. DCDuring TALK 22:40, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If it makes you any happier, I've cited gardenhose. -- Prince Kassad 22:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * And cited it well for its existence, I think. I am indeed sooo happy now. Thank you. DCDuring TALK 04:10, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

 * I note that the countable sense for garden hose is ridiculously overspecified for a dictionary definition: "A length of hose as above, usually with a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other end, which can carry water from a hose bib (a water faucet or spigot usually located on an exterior wall of a house or other building) for use on a garden or lawn." It is extremely unlikely that anyone could cite such a definition because the large number of attributes and accompaniments specified. Wouldn't a definition like "A length of garden hose as above, usually used to convey water, as for watering a garden." be better. I expect that further improvements are possible.

 * I don't understand your rationale. What are you saying?
 * That we should suspend our standards because of effort?
 * That those arguing against inclusion are being unserious?
 * That any attestable phrase that uses the word "dream" in the sense of "a hope", "an inspiring vision" thereby merits keeping?
 * Or that all allusions (or all pretentious, misleadng, jocular, or jesting words) should be kept because they are intended to imply something about the speaker?
 * DCDuring TALK 17:24, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * From experience, when editors use clearly idiomatic it means it's not clearly idiomatic, so extra emphasis is needed to make people think it is. A bit like when editors use in edit summaris clearly not SoP. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:33, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * When people hear the phrase "I have a dream" followed by a broad aspirational statement (or even merely intoned as though a broad aspirational statement is going to follow), they understand that the speaker is not referring to a dream during sleep in exactly the same way that they understand a speaker not to be referring to a literal dead horse being beaten. Furthermore, if I were to say, "I have a dream that all the spoons in the sink will be washed and put away", you would instantly understand that I was not explaining a dream during sleep, but that I was making a joke by implying that washing the spoons and putting them away was some grand aspiration, achievable only in some sort of ideal future. The joke is impossible to understand without an understanding of the idiomatic meaning of the phrase. bd2412 T 18:06, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Right. That's why we have Wikiquote: to be repository for expressions that might have that kind of allusive content. Are you now suggesting that any expression that bears some cultural meaning should be part of Wiktionary? For me the oeuvres of The Talking Heads, R.E.M., The Temptations, Frank Sinatra, Cole Porter, Rogers and Hammerstein, and the KJV are full of such terms. It has been suggested that we might have catchphrases, but no one has yet made a proposal to amend CFI to make it clear that we had such a consensus, nor is it clear that there is such a consensus.
 * For now, I think we need to confine ourselves for the most part to denotation and skip connotation, irony, and novel metaphor.
 * I could see us providing a link to Wikiquote using, at least after it is modified to allow such a reference. DCDuring TALK 18:43, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The phrase "I have a dream" would not qualify for individual inclusion in Wikiquote, except as part of the much longer quote into which it was incorporated by Martin Luther King, Jr. It is not a "catchphrase" in that sense. A person coming across this phrase being used in the jocular sense and being confused by its import would turn to a dictionary, not a book of quotes, to determine its meaning. The bigger picture is that it might be useful to people who would look for this sort of thing in a dictionary first. bd2412 T 18:51, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think we can protect people from not getting jokes. It would be easy enough to provide a link to Martin Luther King, Jr.. or to I have a dream. We also can and do keep citations for items that fail to meet CFI in the opinion of participating contributors. At some point we might have default search hit citation space as well as principal namespace. DCDuring TALK 19:11, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It is more than just jokes, though. The phrase is widely used in speeches and essays, and sometimes they border on whether the speaker is being serious or ironic in use of the phrase. bd2412 T 21:26, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

The deletion of this entry is out of process and should not stand. It says right at the top of this page, "Entries and senses should not normally be deleted in less than seven days after nomination" (with discussions often taking weeks to arrive at a correct resolution), and that time has not passed. Is there something about this entry that requires such unusual haste? The discussion is still ongoing. bd2412 T 02:00, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Agreed. The discussion is ongoing and not an easy consensus either way.  As such, the entry should stay for a while yet.  Restored.  I take no position on whether it should be eventually deleted or not.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 02:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Here is, I think, an example of the sort of usage which sits on the border between serious and sarcastic, which can only be properly comprehended if the idiomatic sense of this phrase is understood: This is not a neologism, and is not strictly speaking sum-of-parts because the combination implies something not conveyed by any individual parts, a grandness (perhaps grandiosity) of scale. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:22, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 1995, Sidelines, vol. 2-4, p. 34:
 * I have a dream that one day donors and beneficiaries will reach for one another with open hearts and open hands, and no questions asked. I have a dream that donations will flow like milk and honey and no strings attached. I have a dream that the oppressed will travel the highway of freedom in BMW's, preferably in 740s, but if need be, in 318s (as long as they have fuel injection).

In light of the phrasebook discussion, I think we should consider an appendix for phrases like this one, falling short of qualifying for individual inclusion in Wikiquote, but having a particular connotation that is only fully comprehensible in historical context. bd2412 T 17:42, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Keep, clearly goes beyond a mere quote as a literary device. DAVilla 11:27, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Delete, I think the search function would nicely bring up Wikipedia for the MLK speech:, where it is well covered (and MLK's speech certainly inspired many writers and speakers). But otherwise, it's just noun sense 2 of dream (a hope, a wish). We have a dream, she had a dream, he had a dream, they had a dream... Where do we draw the line? I don't see any idiomatic, figurative, or even "set phrase" of the expression. The author of the Sidelines quote could just as well have said, "I hope that..." or "I wish that", or "I would be wonderful if", or "It would be my dream if". Also, I don't think the phrase necessarily means "on a grand scale" - a child could use it such as "I have a dream about getting ice cream after basketball practice." In other words, any grandness or altruism in the phrase is only detectable by context, not by the phrase itself. Facts707 21:35, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Delete, the phrase can surely be shortened to I dream without loss of meaning to the sentence it is in, indicating it is not idiomatic. Spinni ng  Spark  19:04, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

quite a few
Sum of parts. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:24, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Possibly comparable: quite a lot, rather a lot. Equinox ◑ 18:54, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Which sense of quite is this referring to? Polarpanda 22:56, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't get the grammar of this expression in our PoS framework. What part of speech is "quite"? If it really is an adverb, what adjective or verb or other adverb would it be modifying.
 * Cambridge Advanced Learners, Macmillan, and Collins COBUILD (all aimed at learners) show it as a "predeterminer". Some other dictionaries show "quite a" or "quite a something" as an idiom. We need to have a usage note and perhaps a category for predeterminers if this all "quite a" expressions are not be be considered as idioms. I don't yet get what CGEL says about these. I would favor accommodating all predeterminers within our existing PoS headers until we have evidence that a large proportion of normal users (at least of learners) are being taught this grammatical category. We could use redirects from some of the most common examples, such as those Equinox refers to. DCDuring TALK 01:07, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep at least "quite a few". It is not evident from the parts that it means more than a few. --Hekaheka 06:20, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Err on the side of keep both. Merriam-Webster Online has both. --Dan Polansky 10:45, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Striking as no consensus for deletion. Voting for deletion: Mglovesfun. Voting for keeping "quite a few": Hekaheka, Dan Polansky. Voting for keeping of "quite a bit": Dan Polansky.

These are only few clear votes, but the nomination has expired months ago, without getting enough clear votes for deletion. --Dan Polansky 10:45, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Category talk:Individuals

Does "Individuals" not mean "a specific individual"? Beatles aren't an individual, but they are (were) a group of four individuals. It gets tricky at that point. A group of 1000 is consequently made up of 1000 individuals. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:53, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Deletion debate
I am unaware of any sanction or consensus supporting inclusion of the members of this category. I recommend making this a hidden category, using it as a cleanup list to eliminate entries that ought not be included, depopulating it, and deleting it. DCDuring TALK 16:15, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. —msh210℠ (talk) 17:01, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, at least deprecate it for new additions. Equinox ◑ 17:04, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

 * I'd say keep for nicknames such as JBiebs and Dubya. The current members, however, are a different story. — lexicógrafa | háblame — 17:08, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Put differently, let some individual people be included in their surname entries, such as Hitler or Einstein. On existing practice and existing regulation: From WT:CFI: "With the exception of geographic entities (for which see the section "Place names"), there is no agreement on specific rules for the inclusion of names of specific entities." I am unware of a consensus that supports exclusion of all individual people from all sense lines. --Dan Polansky 20:04, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The longstanding practice of only including only given names and surnames of individuals reflects a longstanding consensus, as does WT:NOT and numerous deletion decisions of individual names. Actual individuals are incidentally included, usually in WP dab and other links. DCDuring TALK 22:04, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I actually think we should keep it (at least for now) as long as we have some individuals like Plato, Socrates etc. Since these are all one word, they're harder to delete than say, David Cameron. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:00, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't they be kept anyway, as names (like we have Smith), without reference to specific people? Or was nobody else ever called Socrates? Equinox ◑ 17:21, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * What I'm saying is as long as we have enough specific individuals to merit a category, keep it. If we delete all of these (which I don't oppose) then this category should go as well. See Socrates for the second question. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:25, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You mean Socrates (disambiguation), right? --Yair rand (talk) 17:32, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well yes, was just quicker to type Socrates. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:37, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bad name for a category, and a bad choice of entries. Biblical characters, for example, already have a Category:Biblical characters. Giving it a new parent would be enough. Also, I don't like to see people defined by their actual surname. However there's a need for a more limited category named, for example, "Historical characters" - really ancient ones with one-word names,like Plato, Euclid, Confucius that are outside categories yet. A category for nicknames would make sense too. --Makaokalani 16:07, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Einstein and Mother Teresa are not historical characters, and this "longstanding practice" spoken of was a rules-first approach that has not, in fact, been carried out in practice. DAVilla 21:41, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * History is not limited to "really ancient" periods. Einstein and Mother Teresa are historical characters, for that matter. Anyway, we don't have a Category:Historical characters but a Category:Individuals. It may be better to have the former and not the latter, just in case we include names of famous animals such as Laika. Keep any of these categories to help with the organization and navigability of names of individuals. There is already a consensus pro-keeping the category. In addition, the few pro-deletion arguments above seem based on the assumption that we shouldn't include names of individuals at all, which is not inherently true and possibly merits to be discussed further, probably outside the scope of a mere RFDO thread. --Daniel. 10:20, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Kept --Daniel. 13:18, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Counts: 4 deletes (3 of them not boldface), 4 keeps. Mglovesfun is not counted, sounds like a weak keep, but I erred on the side of counting him as abstain. --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:20, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

 * 2) * 1777, Robert Dick [ed.], The North-British Intelligencer, volume 5, “A Letter to Adam Smith, LL. D. on the Life, Death, and Philoſophy of his friend David Hume, Eſq.”, page 134, footnote §:
 * § Treatiſe of Human Nature, L. 467. In the P. S. to this letter, a view will be given of the Humian ſyſtem, taken exactly as it appeared to its author at ſix o’clock in the evening.
 * 1) * 1800, Charles Lamb in his executor--editor Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd’s 1837 Letters of Charles Lamb, with a Sketch of his Life, volume 1, chapter VI: “Letters to Manning, after Lamb’s removal to the Temple”, pages 190–191:
 * I am reading ‘Burnet’s own Times.’ […] He tells his story like an old man past political service, bragging to his sons on winter evenings of the part he took in public transactions, when ‘his old cap was new.’ Full of scandal, which all true history is. […] None of the cursed philosophical Humeian indifference, so cold and unnatural and inhuman!

 * [H]e who would educate a young man in the principles of Unitarianism will, in all probability, educate him in the principles of infidelity. The reason is obvious. In order to reduce his religious creed to the level of Unitarianism, he must educate him in that “freedom of inquiry,” which teaches him first to dispute and then to reject all the leading features of Christianity, upon the very same grounds, and on the same principles, on which the Deist rejects the probability of a revelation, and upon which, if pushed to their full extent, the Humian will question even the being and the attributes of God. Disputandi pruritus, animi scabies.

 * We materialists, after Engels, term the Kantians and Humeans, agnostics, because they deny the objective reality of the source of our sensations.
 * 1) * 1973, Northern Illinois University, The Philosophy Forum (Gordon and Breach Science Publishers), volume 14, issue 1, page 54

Template talk:proscribed

Template:proscribed
I was considering a merge with. Obviously these aren'y strict synonyms, but most of the time they're gonna overlap, and I find the parent category of proscribed (Category:Disputed usage) a bit problematic. I'm unsure, but isn't that why we have these discussion pages, to discuss? Mglovesfun (talk) 10:05, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Striking, lack of input. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:24, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

RFM discussion: September 2012–April 2013
We're not a proscriptive dictionary, right? So why are we labeling senses as (proscribed)? I suggest that we merge this with the more descriptive. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:39, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * We don't proscribe. indicates that many people proscribe it not that we do. Nonstandard is not the same thing as proscribed. In English, for example, there is no standard so it makes no sense to label things as nonstandard but there are words that are proscribed. In other languages, there can be words that differ from the standard but are not proscribed. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 06:30, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

 * That's mostly right. We do label things as "nonstandard" in English (e.g. hoi polloi's second sense). But "proscribed" is different in that it means, as you note, that some other authority (not us) actually proscribes the usage. On good days, we even specify which authority in usage notes. - -sche (discuss) 07:11, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * In English, from a descriptive perspective, "nonstandard" and "proscribed" are potentially useful. It is objectively true that some people view certain grammar, spelling, and pronunciation as "bad English", which we soften to "nonstandard" or "proscribed". In some ways, "proscribed" is better because it more readily causes a user to ask "by whom". This forces us to get outside of our own idiolects and find some support for the tag. On what authority do we label things as "nonstandard"? Where is the standard? We have a lot of trouble even doing something as simple as labeling something a common misspelling, rather than an alternative spelling, but there are plenty who view some spellings as simply wrong.
 * Moreover, I am reasonably sure that many users want such information. It is one of those areas that leads users to put comments on talk pages, Feedback, Info desk, and TR.
 * Empirically, I think we would find that "proscribed" seems mostly to be used for matters of grammar and style on which we can find authorities to opine and "nonstandard" seems to mean we are relying on our own unsupported community opinion. DCDuring TALK 10:03, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * We should describe usage as well as definition, so things like formal, colloquial, slang (etc.) should be noted. I do struggle a bit with this. I never use it, and use nonstandard. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:32, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

 * The problem with labeling a sense as "proscribed" is that, as Metaknowledge implies, it makes it sound like we are proscribing it. I prefer to write "sometimes proscribed" or "often proscribed", which I think makes it a bit clearer that we're talking about other people's proscriptions. And probably "condemned" or "criticized" would be better than "proscribed". —Ruakh TALK 19:42, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I am adding to capture one class of "proscribed" or "disputed" usage. See WT:TR. DCDuring TALK  15:47, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

K This is useful. Proscribed is stronger than nonstandard, and implies some different qualities. (Loosely is quite different, implying that a given definition is being applied less strictly.)

 * Nonstandard is omitted from standards, while proscribed is prohibited by them.
 * Nonstandard may be casual but correct, while proscribed is considered wrong.
 * Nonstandard may be acceptably used to reflect regionalism, dialect, or jargon, while proscribed reflects broken language.

As with other labels, qualifiers sometimes, often – or more often rarely or chiefly – convey the frequency of the usage. It’s incorrect to try to use them only to assign blame elsewhere. If someone wants to know exactly what the label means, the glossary is a click away.

It’s lexicography, not physics. Word usage is a series of greys, not black and white, and the dictionary benefits from editors’ opinions, moderated by the wiki process. —Michael Z. 2013-04-02 16:21 z
 * But we apparently don't have enough English contributors, at least ones who care about this, to actually keep this from being used improperly. About a third of the applications in English seem wrong by my lights. If we can't maintain it, should we permit it? DCDuring TALK 17:29, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
