コミュニスト

# [[communist]]

@Lagrium, not every English word has been borrowed into Japanese. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 00:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Easily attested: [1]. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 15:51, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Three quotations added from various sources. Cnilep (talk) 07:46, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

RFV passed. Cnilep (talk) 00:30, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

マイン

# [[mine]]

—Suzukaze-c (talk) 00:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

It's not common (except in reference to Minecraft or the like), but I found three quotations in various books. Also, the German proper noun Main is more common, so I added a separate etymology. Cnilep (talk) 05:13, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

エレクトリック

# [[electric]]

—Suzukaze-c (talk) 00:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Three quotations added from various sources, dating back almost a century. Cnilep (talk) 01:07, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

RFV passed. Cnilep (talk) 00:30, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

クリーナー

# [[cleaner]]

—Suzukaze-c (talk) 00:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

I found all these words from the Jisho dictionary. Lagrium (talk) 00:49, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

@Lagrium: What WWWJDIC ('the Jisho.org dictionary' does not exist) decides to record has little bearing on what we decide to record. I don't think these meet WT:CFI. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 01:51, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Probably マイン is not Japanese. チャージャー is sometimes appears as a part of name of battery charger. コミュニスト, エレクトリック, クリーナー are OK, but the meanings should be specified. クリーナー is a device, not a person. —Naggy Nagumo (talk) 07:42, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

@TAKASUGI Shinji, Eirikr: Do you want to weigh in? All the above terms are in the Weblio dictionary and are searchable in Japanese dictionary apps (such as "Imiwa", "Japanese"). Probably less common and unpreferred but valid, right? --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 00:27, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Attested: [3]. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 15:51, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

@Suzukaze-c: Do you wish to review some of your RFV's based on Shinj's responses or do you insist on quotations? --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 11:14, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

The results for those are numerous, so I won't insist on quotations. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 11:21, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

RFV passed. Cnilep (talk) 00:30, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

I added three quotations for クリーナー. See also コミュニスト and エレクトリック above. Cnilep (talk) 04:55, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
