Wiktionary:List of protologisms by topic/third person singular gender neutral pronouns[edit]

What is that doing there? This is a copy of the Wikipedia appendix, without attribution, isn't it? --Connel MacKenzie 00:09, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's in a harmless place - subpage of a protologism page. Some have attribution. It is clearly about protologisms too. --Jackofclubs 09:32, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep — useful and interesting. † ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 13:19, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kept no good reason for deletion.

Ableism[edit]

The use of self-feeding as an example to describe a form of pronoun is discriminatory against those folks unable to feed themselves due to disease or disability. It is problematic. I would recommend changing the verb to "love" - "xe loves xyrself".

Dead Link[edit]

The link for reference 6 is dead. Anyone know more about this paper or where to find it? --— This unsigned comment was added by 173.79.92.125 (talk).

it's on webarchive, i fixed the link. --Habst (talk) 16:46, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Attested pronouns[edit]

It is confusing (as recent edits show) that there's one list (this list) with a lot of protologisms and attested (but "proposed"/coined by some specific person/group) pronouns in it, another list for attested pronouns, and mainspace entries to boot. We should probably move all the pronouns which are attested and in the mainspace out of this list, and have it just be for protologisms, like the rest of WT:LOP. And entries should stop linking here and link only to the appendix of attested pronouns. I will do this later if no one objects or bears me to it. - -sche (discuss) 19:30, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What about "Ou"?[edit]

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-person_pronoun#Historical_and_dialectal_gender-neutral_pronouns --85.229.234.144 18:12, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, ou is also mentioned in Wiktionary (as obsolete or dialectal), but unfortunately without regional attribution. --91.79.227.114 13:08, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RFD discussion: March–April 2021[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.

The rest of LOP has been deleted through RFDO, but I didn't delete this page, as it's quite unlike the rest of LOP — much of it is referenced, and it may potentially have some lexicographical interest. I am inclined to delete it as well, but I thought it merited its own discussion. @-sche —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:03, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the terms which have references (which are thus more similar to the "dictionary-only terms" appendices than to the main LOP) also have attestations and are in the other appendix, of attested pronouns, while the remaining terms seem to be unused, so the utility is as low as the rest of the LOP. The exceptions are ho, tou and vey, which have references but aren't in the attested-pronouns appendix; I may copy those three over to a userspace list of "terms to determine later if are attested". Otherwise, my opinion on all the LOP appendices is that I don't really care one way or the other whether it exists, so abstain, leaning towards deleting for consistency with the rest of the LOP. - -sche (discuss) 23:36, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
