Utopia

It's the name of a book, so it probably shouldn't be here. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 06:11, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

But this term has strong etymological connection with a common noun utopia. Wouldn't it be a reason for Keep? --Eryk Kij (talk) 09:44, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

The etymology is already clearly stated in the utopia entry, though. I would say delete unless there is evidence that Utopia is used as an alternative case form of utopia, in which case the definition referring to the book should be removed and replaced with {{alternative case form of}}. — SMUconlaw (talk) 11:21, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Keep. There is no policy to exclude every single name of a book. The applicable policy is WT:NSE. Since the name of this book gave rise to a common noun, I'd keep it; so as per User:エリック・キィ AKA Eryk Kij. --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:32, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect to [[utopia#Etymology]] (and change the link to this term in that section to a w:link). We already provide all of the relevant information there, so there is no need for a separate entry. bd2412 T 17:06, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
• Redirect per BD. Though we already have automatic redirection of capitalized terms in search boxes to the lowercase form, in this case, there may be in the future a section for the genus Utopia (really!), in which case a user my not get the point. DCDuring TALK 17:31, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Delete: a topic for Wikipedia, a mere etymology for us. But we do already have a bunch of book titles (fairy-tales and Dickens, mostly, I believe) so nobody will listen to me. Equinox ◑ 14:29, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

English sense deleted, but a new Latin sense has been added, so the entry can not be redirected at this time. bd2412 T 15:25, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
