I have added readings to braille characters as I've been able to confirm them w something better than the flawed UNESCO documents. In the case of Bharati braille, I have not included the divergent Sinhala readings, so that still needs to be done.

This is just re- with the 'e' elided. We don't have an English entry for to cover things like cited as cite + -d. Rhabiller for example is with the loss of the 'e'. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:36, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * We do now. Also, "cited" could be interpreted as cit- + -ed (with the final -e deleted before the ending), but "rhabiller" clearly shows a different form of the prefix. 2.203.201.61 03:37, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

RFD discussion: March–July 2022
German. Not a prefix. The supposed derived terms are clippings. You can't just reanalyze the part that remains after clipping as a new affix if that affix has never occurred outside of these clippings. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 12:39, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. It wouldn't surprise me if could be attested as a clipping of her (compare ), and I suspect  is attested as a variant of  (ety 2), but those are clippings as is rein etc, as you say; they don't readily translate into a prefix .

 * I am surprised that anyone would object to adding adjectives such as: "German-Canadian/German Canadian", "English-Canadian/English Canadian", "Italian-Canadian/Italian Canadian", "Indian-Canadian, Indian Canadian, Indo-Canadian" to the English-language Wiktionary. There is often a difference in spelling or form between the adjective and the noun when translated into other languages. Also in English we may say or write English-Canadian or French-Canadian when we actually mean "English-speaking Canadian", "anglophone Canadian", or "English-language Canadian" "this or that". (cf. de: deutschkanadisch/deutsch-kanadisch, Deutschkanadier, Deutschkanadierin; englischkanadisch, englisch-kanadisch, anglokanadisch, anglo-kanadisch, anglophon kanadisch; fr: canadien-allemand, germano-canadien, Canadien allemand, canadien anglophone, etc.) We need to add more words such as these (and their multilingual translations), instead of deleting them.

 * With all respect, how are they useful? And is it practical to try and attest them on an individual basis? To me it seems a standard sum of parts, i.e. several words that say just what they seem to say when combined. It appears similar to phrases like "quasi-[any adjective]", "semi-[any adjective]", etc. The biggest value I can see from these are for translation purposes, but I'm not fully convinced it's worth keeping them for that reason. Tempodivalse [talk]  17:34, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * They are useful for definitions given. These definitions are not obvious at all. But we must check these pages, and improve them: the WP page is spelt w:Finnish Canadian: are both spellings used ? for both senses? I don't know. These questions show that useful linguistic data can be provided.

 * I guess we'll have to agree to disagree that the compounded forms are clear as-is. This is perhaps a bit of a strawman, but: would Nauruan-Belgian or Monegasque-Tasmanian strike you as being useful at all, even if attestable for some bizarre reason? There are literally thousands of possible combinations to be formed. Tempodivalse [talk]  19:44, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. Assume that somebody reads it on a website, and wants to know what it means (it's clear that the sense is not obvious: he might imagine at least two possible senses). He might select the word and use WikiLook to get a definition. But only if the page exists! I feel that you think that there are more useful entries still missing, and you are right. But why do you believe that the site would be better without these pages? Lmaltier 19:57, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The pages just seem unnecessary. Anyone with a decent grasp of English would probably think to search for Monegasque and Belgian separately. I've seen not infrequently the combination of two adjectives via a dash. E.g.: "the architecture was quasi-baroque" ... "I'm sorta-okay today", etc. The terms do not change their meaning when combined into a pseudo-compound word via a dash. They are still separate words. And if they're separate words, they should not be listed under the same combined entry in Wiktionary. That's called "Sum of Parts". That's my reasoning, anyway; feel free to disagree or attack my not infallible logic. I'm a minimalist, so that might influence my opinion. :-) Tempodivalse [talk]  00:58, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * You're influenced by the fact that English is your native language. In addition to senses already given, you could imagine two other senses: person with a Finnish father (or mother) and a Canadian mother (or father). Or person with both nationalities.

I may eventually switch it back). Why I think the site would be better without the pages? Not because it's necessarily "harming" the project (they aren't), but because I don't think they fit the project mission and are redundant. In all the languages I know, these compound words can be easily figured out by looking up each half individually (i.e., канадско-финский, or kanada-finlanda).

 * Citations and other facts are allowed here. It is quite conceivable that there is some usage, preferably not in quotes, possibly in entertainment-oriented articles in News. DCDuring TALK 15:07, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Citations and other facts are encouraged here! Pingku's citation ("The more superstar they are, they harder they are to get to because they're so protected by agents, bodyguards, managers, ") is interesting, because there "the more superstar they are" clearly means "the more they're superstars", such that superstar there means "being a superstar". That doesn't accord with either of our adjective senses, and it's hard to imagine anyone using superstar as an adjective with that sense in a more typical syntactic frame: *"she's superstar", *"she's so superstar", etc. ("She's superstar" does get one relevant-at-first-glance b.g.c. hit, but it's in "she's superstar enough to ", where I think other nouns work as well: "she's fool enough to ", "she's liar enough to ", etc.) So I'm inclined to chalk Pingku's citation up to speech error caused by complex syntax. Even after thinking about it, I don't know a great way to "fix" that quotation to not treat "superstar" as an adjective — I suppose "the more of a superstar they are", but it's awkward because the they there is a true plural they, not a singular they — so it's not surprising that the speaker failed. —Ruakh TALK 15:28, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine
Unlike the German case, this can be easily analyzed as sum of parts. It is bad enough that we already permit almost one million number entries in German (a bot to upload all of them is currently underway), and we should not allow the same for English as well. -- Liliana • 20:15, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

 * I think most of the million German entries should be deleted, too. Instead an appendix discussing the rules for formulating numerals could be written for each language. If a robot can create an endless number of formally correct entries, they are not dictionary stuff. If there's no rule that says so, it should be written. We need to define a standard set for numerals allowed for all languages. It might consist of numerals for 0 to 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1000, and thereafter the numbers of the form 103n.

Talk:how one rolls

how one rolls
Probably just how + one + rolls. Can be re-expressed as "the way one rolls", "how does he roll", "how can you roll like that"?, etc. ---> Tooironic 12:25, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

leave everything on the road
This is the cycling version of the snowclone "leave X somewhere". The X can be "it", "it all", "everything", or some specific emblem of effort. "Somewhere" is usually a prepositional phrase referring to an arena of competition, such as "on the field". The prototype is probably "leave it all on the field".

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

 * How to edit a page is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.
 * Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including. There is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
 * If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide to Wikipedia users useful.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.

Regional Spelling Variation
Please stop adding UK spellings to lists where there's already a US spelling. I think most UK-English speakers know that connection is the same as connexion, so listing both just clutters up the entries. Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't create entries for regional spelling variants- just stop the "connection" ---> "connection, connexion" type of edits.

Also remember that we have lots of people contributing from all over the world, so switching entries from one regional spelling to another could be taken wrong- we don't need to start massive Pondian edit wars. The rule of thumb is, stick with the standard that the entry started out with- if the entry started out with color, don't change it to colour- and vice versa. Not that everyone follows this, and we all forget to think about such things from time to time- just don't make a career of "fixing" other peoples legitimate edits. Thanks, Chuck Entz (talk) 04:15, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:bang on

bang on
Called a preposition. This would seem to be bang: (just added) + on:. Same problem as many multiword entries beginning with all and certain other adverbs. DCDuring TALK 11:48, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Though it can be re-expressed many ways using 'on' as the last word, I'm not sure how we can cover this in a way that makes this sum of parts. Examples include dead on, and smack on. In other words, I remain unconvinced. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:13, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * right: is a fairly exact synonym for bang: in this usage. MWOnline doesn't seem to have any trouble. They use a non-gloss definition as they do for most simple prepositions: used as a function word to indicate a time frame during which something takes place  or an instant, action, or occurrence when something begins or is done  . DCDuring TALK  13:26, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, one of the usage examples uses on the dot: which is itself an idiom even in the opinion of the editors of MWOnline (one of the least inclusive of MWEs). But perhaps someone can attest to the spelling bangon: and invoke WT:COALMINE. DCDuring TALK 13:41, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * By fixing attention on the time aspect of the preposition on, we seem to be ignoring staple phrases such as Bang on the nose. and Bang on target. Not to forget the simple exclamation Bang on!!. -- A LGRIF  talk 14:49, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * bang on: is not part of this. BTW, it is not really an expression of emotion and thus not really an interjection by my lights. It is a colloquial ellipsis of a sentence and should probably be under the L3 header "Phrase".
 * I simply assumed that MG's problem with the definition of on: had to do with its temporal senses rather than its spatial senses. I usually find the physical sense of prepositions obvious, the spatial ones sometimes less so, and the more "grammatical" ones much, much less so. on the nose: and on target: are also themselves idioms. "Bang" seems to go well with other idiomatic (or nearly so) prepositional phrases like to rights:, on the spot:, on the mark:, and in form:. But it is also followed in its adverbial use by many other phrases headed by prepositions with spatial or other non-temporal senses such as "into", "opposite", "in line with", "in front of", "against", "next to", "onto", "over", "on top of". It is also occasionally followed by adverbs. To convince yourself you would probably need to avail yourself of the BNC. DCDuring TALK 18:41, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

bang on
Isn't "bang on" also an adjective? If you say "My guess was bang on" you mean "My guess was correct".--Arthurvogel 08:40, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Er, yes. — Pingkudimmi 13:45, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Um, are you sure? It seems largely NISoP to me as an adjective. See ["on" at MWOnline]. Our [[on]] seems quite lame and inadequate.
 * "Bang on" seems to me mostly just more emotion-laden and unusual than other adverb-"on" collocations and so is more likely to be remembered. I suppose that such considerations are potentially relevant to inclusion, but they are not part of WT:CFI. DCDuring TALK 14:58, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think on: has a sense to fit the Las Vegas citation, where would seem to mean "appropriate" or "fitting." If you can demonstrate such a sense (apart from this collocation), I will defer. — Pingkudimmi 03:11, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I think that is exactly the sense in the collocation "just not on". I'll be looking for it. DCDuring TALK 03:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Isn't that the same sense as in "spot on"? —Ruakh TALK 03:49, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * By Jove, another bang-on contribution from Ruakh.
 * In "spot on" and "bang on", the sense seems the same. In "right on", the sense of on may be virtually identical, but my experience with the 60s and 70s usage makes the whole seem idiomatic. In each of these the stress seems to be on the first word of the expression. In "not on" the stress seems equal on each. I think that is a feature of collocations of "not" rather than evidence of some distinction of sense. All four seem related to the idea of "on target", "on point".
 * Many dictionaries have right on:. A few non-US dictionaries have both spot on: and bang on:. We and UD alone have not on:. DCDuring TALK 13:34, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Only Collins Pocket among OneLook references seems to have the right sense of on as adjective: "tolerable, practicable, or acceptable". DCDuring TALK 13:54, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:back-

back-
Prefix. Sense: Situated, located, or toward the rear; backward or in reverse; in return; again.

The words using this purported prefix would seem to actually be compounds formed from back. backbite is from back (ahistorically, anyway). backfriend: might be from the other, unchallenged sense of back-. DCDuring TALK 02:28, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, if we remove the first sense, leaving only the second, wouldn't that cause confusion? Especially for words like backfill:? Leasnam 04:06, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * What about backformation, backdating, and others like them, indicating reversal in time? bd2412 T 04:34, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * All of those seem to be formed by compounding of the adverb to me. Is everyone really sure that even the "backfriend" instance is not a compound. Does "back" have a similar extended meaning to that sense of "back-" with the same dialectal distribution?
 * How is it less confusing to suggest that back- is a prefix? We could always remedy the "confusion" by adding a usage note or directing users to back in some way analogous to . DCDuring TALK 13:50, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * back-friend: doesn't seem to be limited to the sense of "false friend". Some scholars seem to think it is derived from back and spell it without a hyphen. A synonym would be shoulder-clapper, "arresting officer".
 * I believe this may be another etymology (not shown at the entry), where backfriend = "a friend who's got your back". Quite the opposite meaning to false friend. Leasnam 16:57, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Are there any other instances of a term derived using "back-" in the sense of "false"? There may be another way of avoiding all this confusion. DCDuring TALK 14:04, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I would say that backdate implies not only putting an earlier date on something, but in some cases doing so for purposes of falsification. For example, an author might backdate a manuscript in order to claim that his writing came before someone else. bd2412 T 19:07, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * But it isn't the back- part of the word that carries that meaning. The word backdate means merely "to put an earlier date on"; the fact that people often do so for fraudulent reasons isn't part of the meaning of the word, and certainly isn't part of the morphology of the word. —Angr 20:12, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:outland Germans

outland Germans
Renominating based on Talk:overseas Chinese. In my opinion, in the single worst outcome of an RFD debate that I've seen. Can be attested in parallel forms such as overseas Irish - heck overseas Catholics and overseas Muslims are also attested. It's not even limited to nationalities! Mglovesfun (talk) 12:36, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Also, regarding it being a translation or equivalent of "华侨": compare "overseas Germans" / "Germans abroad", and especially "outland Germans", the most direct calque of "Auslandsdeutsche". - -sche (discuss) 18:50, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

 * In fact, I am considering adding outland Germans (which I just created) to this RFD. It is distinguished from "overseas Chinese", however, in that it uses a sense of "outland" only used (AFAICT) in two other places, both of which are also calques: a calque of a Danish phrase, and calques of 华侨! "Overseas Chinese", on the other hand, uses a sense of "overseas" that can be used with every other nationality/ethnicity, and even, like Mglovesfun points out, with religions. I just added the sense to [[overseas]]. - -sche (discuss) 20:50, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

 * For what it's worth, I asked my wife (who is overseas Chinese) and she just shrugged and said "It's two words; putting it together doesn't make a new word". bd2412 T 19:03, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of outland Germans, but looking up outland it seems to be "foreign, from abroad" and Germans of course means more than one German, so it's SOP and easily decodable from its parts (as I've just decoded it). Mglovesfun (talk) 11:09, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Technically (and importantly), it's not "foreign, from abroad", but rather "native (not foreign) but living abroad". But note that sense of "outland" is (AFAICT) only used in three unrelated calques, thus I ask if we should have a sense of "outland", or only the three complete calques. - -sche (discuss) 23:15, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * "Outland" would itself be more of a calque (of German ) than natural-sounding English. Isn't  the term generally used for such phrases?  -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 23:21, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I say we keep outland Germans regardless of the presence or absence of outland, because it was clearly not formed as SOP outland+Germans, but as a calque of Auslandsdeutsche. - -sche (discuss) 20:30, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

There are many hits in Google Books for "inocubated" but, as far as I can ascertain, they are all scannos for "inoculated".  Please add inocubates, inocubated and inocubating to my suggestions for deletion.  Fortunately we don't have inocubation yet.    D b f  i  r  s   17:34, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, I have a similar problem with an inadequate internet connection, so cannot do extensive research, and I don't have access to the original books, but all of the hits that I found clearly meant either "incubat*" or "inoculat*".

 * Yes, that could have meaning if the surrounding text explained the method, but I believe that it is just an error and should have read "incubate" and that the "o" slipped in by accident.   D b f  i  r  s   20:33, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I see that various forms of this are being copied to the German Wiktionary as if they are genuine English words. I still insist that all the claimed "usages" are spelling mistakes, scannos or typos, and that the so-called "definition" is an imaginative invention.  I can find no evidence that the users intend a "portmanteau" word.    D b f  i  r  s   20:17, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

 * When asked about the goal, Maradona said that he did it "un poco con la cabeza y un poco con la mano de Dios", i.e. "a bit with the head and a bit with the hand of God", which means that he thinks he was lucky. Since then, the goal has been known as "hand of God goal". In this context "hand of God" looks more like an adjective than a noun. Anyway, I'm for delete.--Hekaheka 05:44, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

The definition could be "a deliberate handball, especially one to score a goal or save a goal" --Rockpilot 20:30, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That definition would definitely require some quotes:
 * AFAIK, the words refer to a specific goal in a specific game, not any goal made in a similar way.
 * There was no handball involved. The word "hand" refers to the invisible hand of God. Maradona pushed the goal with his head.

 * You are probably right, just provide the citations that prove your point! If you are right, Maradona's famous statement becomes just one example of usage. I proposed deletion because I believe the current definition is wrong or at least not properly cited. There's no proof that Maradona's famous goal would ever have been referred to as Hand of God but rather as Hand of God goal, which we luckily do not have. --Hekaheka 06:07, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

As for this entry — it's like the "adjective noun" entries I recently started a discussion about at the Beer parlour, except that there it's an adjective-specific sense of the noun rather than vice versa. The discussion there leaves me very unsure about how to know which such entries are worth keeping . . . —Ruakh TALK 21:31, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't think of menstrual blood as describing the blend of blood and endometrial matter. I separate them in my brain, but I don't know whether doctors do. I know in layspeak they're inseparable, but do layspeak versions of actual medical jargon warrant inclusion when the medical term is SOP? (note that at no point am I likely to weigh in on that question, just putting it out there) —  [Ric Laurent] — 12:15, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I believe that "menstrual blood" has the same meaning both in medical use and in lay use: it always refers to the menstrual fluid as a whole, and never refers specifically to its sanguinary component as you suggest. (The common phrase "menstrual blood loss" does refer specifically to the loss of normal-sense-of-blood, but that's because it's "menstrual {blood loss}" rather than "{menstrual blood} loss".) —Ruakh TALK 18:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:have a mountain to climb

have a mountain to climb
I don't think this is really an idiom, but a metaphor instead. ---> Tooironic 09:17, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. From and, this seems a common expression, one that, when rendered word-for-word in Czech in order to mean "To be faced with a difficult task or challenge", sound weird and non-native, and may not even be understood. The term is attestable, and it is not a semantic sum of parts. --Dan Polansky 07:36, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. It looks like a mere multi-word metaphor to me. Moreover it is a live metaphor that can be reworded in various ways. I wonder whether it is the translation of any English expression of the general grammatical construction that would seem "weird and non-native", ie, "have a NP to V", eg "have a car to sell". DCDuring TALK 11:57, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you voting outside of CFI? Or are you saying that the term in question is a semantic sum of parts? Great many idiomatic expressions are metaphors, including "add fuel to the fire"; being a metaphor does not make a term exclusion-worthy. --Dan Polansky 15:34, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

metropolitan area network
As it is, the definition suggests this is just metropolitan area + network. -- Liliana • 21:10, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

This should be undeleted IMO. Nine OneLook references (lemmings) have it. It has an acronym MAN. It fits into a naming scheme/family (LAN, WAN, MAN). DCDuring TALK 15:47, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

But actually, it is the action of deletion that needs supporting comments showing concensus for deletion. --Dan Polansky (talk) 15:54, 8 December 2012 (UTC) Later: On a second thought and reading, there are comments that seem to support deletion, so the closing was probably all right. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:00, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Arab World
this doesn't look particularly idiomatic to me. -- Liliana • 04:50, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

 * It does to me, though, like New World, Old World. It's not exactly a "world". It's a cultural area. We don't have "English World" or "French World" - countries where English or French is spoken. Admittedely it's controversial, since non-Arabs living in these countries dislike it or don't want to belong there. Keep --Anatoli 05:10, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

 * If a term is used widely in newspapers we should define it, that way people unfamiliar with it could find out exactly what it means. If not someone could think it means a world wide caliphate, a theme park, or something other than the middle east, which is in fact not all arab, so we should keep it.Acdcrocks 09:43, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

I chose "English" without any bias, perhaps because it's the English Wiktionary. The effort to replace "English" with anything else - "Canadian", "Mexican", etc. is minimum, although can also cause problems like using adjectives where a noun is required or incorrect ending or gender, etc. For example Polish uses instrumental case to make this phrase - Anglik -> Anglikiem, Angielka -> Angielką . --Anatoli 22:59, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per eighteen. Equinox ◑ 21:34, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * In accordance with "I'm eighteen years old", delete. I also think that I'm a Muslim, I'm a Christian, I'm a Buddhist, I'm a vegetarian, I'm an atheist, I'm allergic to nuts, I'm bisexual, I'm blind, I'm bleeding, I'm burned, I'm cold, I'm dying, I'm deaf, I'm divorced, I'm English, I'm fine, I'm full, I'm gay, I'm hungry, I'm horny, I'm hot etc. add little if any value to this project. We already have I'm. --Hekaheka 03:21, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Knowing translations for I'm + hungry does not allow you to translate (e.g. French has j'ai faim, "I have hunger", and not literally "I am hungry"). As it happens, that's the same with this phrase ("I have twenty years"), and any of them might have any kind of quirky idiom in any translating language. Just a thought. I mean, I kinda feel that you should know the basic grammar of a language before speaking it, but I'm probably old-fashioned. Equinox ◑ 03:26, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * A non-speaker of French can find this out relatively easily. First he checks hungry and finds a strange looking adjective avoir faim as one of French translations. He clicks that and the whole secret is revealed to him on the French page. I think this old-fashioned approach to using a dictionary is far better than adding randomly selected "I'm something" -sentences as individual entries. --Hekaheka 06:22, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * But that French translation is wrong. hungry: is an adjective, avoir faim: is a verb. SemperBlotto 07:16, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I know that, but if two languages have a different approach to a concept, like in this case to being hungry, it makes sense to make a link that shows the user the normal usage of the looked-for language. Also the adjective affamé is there, but "j'ai faim" gets about 20 times as many Google hits as "je suis affamé". --Hekaheka 21:01, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * And affamé is not the right translation, it's much stronger. Yes, it makes sense to mention avoir faim, but 'only if there is an explanatory note. Lmaltier 15:59, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Speedily delete as already having failed RFD. —msh210℠ (talk) 01:27, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

 * At least one of these complete phrases should be kept. It is handled very clumsily at old (#5) and in its translation section. If someone didn’t already know how to say it in a given foreign language, he would probably not be able to put it together from what is shown for most of the languages there. That section is virtually useless. If we have a complete phrase such as I&, then the translation section in old could be amended to "see translations at I&". —Stephen (Talk) 11:09, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * SGB, by that logic, why not hard-redirect the entries with numbers to [[I'm_..._year(s)_old]] and have the translations there? (In fact, why do we need "I'm"? But that's another issue.) —msh210℠ (talk) 17:59, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep, per Stephen. Keep at least one of these complete phrases as part of the phrasebook rather than relying on "I'm ... year(s) old". Given "I'm eighteen years old", the reader can figure out that he has to replace "eighteen" with other number word. Twenty is a round number, so "I'm twenty years old" seems to be a fit example entry to represent all the other phrases with different number word. "I'm eighteen years old" would also be a nice example entry, but it is now deleted. --Dan Polansky

 * Keep, per Stephen. Also, I don't see the Estonian or Ojibwe translation in I'm ... year(s) old. I added the Hungarian after some checking. "I'm twenty years old" in Japanese is a remarkable example. ("twenty years old") is not pronounced "nijussai" or "nijūsai" as expected (a number + sai) but "hatachi".

 * "I'm eighteen years" old is gone, so, one complete example is worth keeping for the phrasebook but no more than one. We have too many phrases like "I need ...". This could be cleaned up. --Anatoli 22:50, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

RFD discussion: January–June 2019
So this passed RFD in 2012. The logic to keep was basically: But I'm ... year(s) old shows the reader how to put together this phrase, and it's better at showing how to build the phrase with different numbers. If I were trying to say "I'm 19 years old" in Hungarian, the translation at I'm twenty years old (húszéves vagyok) is useless. I don't know which part means "twenty", so I can't apply it. But with the translation at I'm ... year(s) old (...éves vagyok), I can just plug in the Hungarian word for 19 in the ... — Julia ☺ ☆ 19:05, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * the reader could not put together the phrase by just the translations at old (#5)
 * "Twenty is a round number, so "I'm twenty years old" seems to be a fit example entry to represent all the other phrases with different number word."
 * Keep again: I find it better to have a representative phrase for the phrasebook than have an abstract parametrized phrase I'm ... year(s) old. The Hungarian translation would be more useful if húszéves vagyok had an entry rather than being a redlink; in that entry, each separate word would be glossed. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Hm. I would imagine there must be some languages where you can't just plug in a missing word (due to inflection, or adjacent words merging together, etc.?). I also have unpleasant memories of those old snowclone-type entries where we would put "X" as a placeholder in the entry title. But the twenty does seem a bit silly and arbitrary. Equinox ◑ 18:02, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Admittedly, twenty is arbitrary. It is round, to say the least. I'm eighteen years old was deleted; 18 would be a legally significant age in some countries, I guess, so it would be less arbitrary. One such entry is enough, I think, but I would not object to I'm eighteen years old being restored instead of the 20 entry. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:08, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep per Dan, but okay with moving it to a less arbitrary age. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  11:06, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

 * There is also a variant form at I am twenty years old, and if the final decision is to delete the page, then the variant needs to go, too. Inner Focus (talk) 00:19, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete, this is just as unlikely to be what a user looks up as the ... variant, and requires just as much work to re-work into the correct phrase. - TheDaveRoss  12:19, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
