Looks SOP to me. As does at night, which I'd like to see added to RFD --One angry dwarf (talk) 02:37, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hi wonderfool. No, it's a set phrase. One would expect at the night. Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 02:46, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- (Or "in the night" (which is fine). You can't use "at" with day, daytime, morning, afternoon, etc.) Equinox ◑ 12:14, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- keep, at least as an adverb. Used alone, de jour may be used adverbially (same sense as le jour). de jour is also used to qualify a noun in some cases. Clearly, phrases such as hôpital de jour or oiseau de nuit are worth inclusion. Lmaltier (talk) 06:56, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- I've cited this as an English term. Keep in that language, as it's obviously idiomatic. I've no opinion on whether the French term should be kept, but it is useful for understanding the origin of the English term. Astral (talk) 04:34, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- Only the French was nominated.—msh210℠ (talk) 04:52, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- I just added English. At the time this entry was nominated, there was only French. So it was my understanding that the nomination would thus apply to the entry as a whole, not just the original language. Is this incorrect? Astral (talk) 05:09, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I think it is. The nomination was of whatever sense(s) were present at the time. Any senses added later were not nominated. Now, sometimes the nomination can be understood to apply to the added senses also — for example, if go up has senses "walk up the stairs" and "take the elevator upward" and is nominated for deletion as SOP and someone adds "take an escalator upwards" — but that seems not to be the case here. So unless someone specifically nominates the English term on this page (possibly in this section by saying he's adding it to the nomination), I'd say it's not included in the nomination.—msh210℠ (talk) 05:51, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
