RFD discussion: December 2021[edit]

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

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


Name of a not especially famous Web site. Equinox 14:21, 13 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Delete, I am sure it is not dictionary material, as we do not have Quora or Reddit ! ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 18:25, 13 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Is this not an RFV issue? WT:BRAND Fytcha (talk) 19:30, 13 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
The name is not a brand name but the name of a specific entity, so WT:NSE should apply. Websites are not one of the types of entities for which we have specifically decided that they are includible, but considering the fact that websites that are orders of magnitudes more popular have not got an entry here should be an indication.  --Lambiam 15:47, 14 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, you're right; WT:NSE applies, not WT:BRAND. Fytcha (talk) 16:21, 14 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Delete as it doesn't seem like there's much evidence that'd meet CFI that Wattpad as a verb, noun, etc. has entered the lexicon per our standards yet. PseudoSkull (talk) 19:37, 15 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Deleted free advertising. DAVilla 18:02, 21 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

It may suit us to call it "free advertising", but our sister project Wikipedia accepts it. It is doubtful for CFI reasons instead. DonnanZ (talk) 00:40, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Agreed: we have Greenpeace and Facebook because I guess they are famous enough. (I've never been a fan of these "organisation" entries.) But you really need to be big, and mentioned outside of brand context, to qualify for this. Equinox 00:45, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
