How often and how widely is this term used? Any source available?
How should I pronounce this word? Where's accent? The kana reads too strangely: choūkamina.
Should we use a wave dash, which is not a formal Japanese punctuation, instead of a normal chōonpu? More over, a chōonpu following a kanji looks very curious.
This is not widely used and should be deleted maybe. It's just a rarely used slang accidentally combined 超 and 神 (super+godlike; both are slangy usages), I guess. Electric goat 01:19, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
In response to the initial poster:
It is slang. The word was quite popular in early 2008 and used in numerous magazines. The morning news program Zoom In Super did a survey in February 2008 interviewing people about their knowledge of the word, which was my inspiration for adding the entry at the time.
Pronunciation is choːkami (na), regardless of any creative orthographic usages. I would not be opposed to the page being moved to 超神.
While I agree with you, the ～ was indeed used the above news broadcast as well as various magazines. Since then I have also seen 超神(な) as well, though.
It is just a transiently-used word, not established widely at all. No solid linguistic source could be found. You can find this word in this manner (super+godlike) rarely even in Japanese blogs. In addition, it's just a sum-of-parts. This expression sounds funny though, no novel meaning is appeared by this combination, isn't it? I don't know much about the editorial policy and convention of English Wiktionary yet, so I don't know this kind of words should be contained or not. So just FYI to the initial poster.

超 is an adverb meaning extremely and 神 is a slang adjectival noun meaning godlike. ～ is a variant of ー, the long vowel mark, and used here as an emphasis. The literal translation is extreeeemely godlike. This entry is not at all a word. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:03, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
If anything, the tilde is wrong, it should be 〜 (see usage notes). -- Prince Kassad 19:53, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Since Japanese isn't space delimited like English the lack of a white space ([[ ]]) doesn't mean this is a 'word'. So I think the nomination is intended to say 'this isn't a word, it's really a phrase and it's sum of parts as extremely godlike would be in English. --Mglovesfun (talk) 21:22, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
I actually don't know anything about this word. I just know that someone had marked this with {{delete}} and the case for its deletion looks plausible. —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 23:45, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
