Sum of parts: the corresponding English entry American imperialism has been deleted for the same reason. — SGconlaw (talk) 04:22, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Idiomatic. The short form 美 (the US) functions as a prefix to 帝國主義, making it one word, similar to 大漢族主義, 唯科學主義, etc. It has also derived its own short form 美帝. ---> Tooironic (talk) 02:30, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
- Not quite seeing your point. The term seems sum-of-parts because it is just 美 (měi, “short form of the United States”) (as you mentioned, used as a prefix) + 帝國主義／帝国主义 (dìguózhǔyì, “imperialism”). We are justified in having 美帝 (měidì) as an entry because that is a short form which may not be clear to readers, but not 美帝國主義／美帝国主义 (Měi-dìguózhǔyì). — SGconlaw (talk) 18:19, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
- I think 美 ("United States; of United States") can be viewed as a free morpheme / a word rather than a prefix; it can be used alone. Dokurrat (talk) 11:08, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
- RFD kept for lack of consensus. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 00:23, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
