黃人, 黄人

Not a word. Wyang (talk) 21:35, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, delete, the correct term is 黃色人種／黄色人种 or 黃種／黄种 (huángzhǒng) (abbreviated). --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 21:57, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

It's in the ABC Chinese-English Dictionary.  WikiWinters ☯ 韦安智  22:55, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

.. which is not a particularly reliable source. Concrete examples are needed. Wyang (talk) 23:09, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

There are other good-looking hits in Google books. I also trust ABC dictionary, which ships with Wenlin software. Tentatively keep for now. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 04:15, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Ok then. Although this is not the derogatory modern sense in the article... Wyang (talk) 10:15, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

If it helps, my Chinese professor did tell me that the term existed and that it was derogatory.  WikiWinters ☯ 韦安智  03:44, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

• Note: 黄人 (kōjin) is currently missing, but it's definitely a word in Japanese, albeit rare and possibly dated. Shogakukan's 国語大辞典 (Kokugo Dai Jiten) lists this as a synonym or possible abbreviation of 黄色人種 (ōshoku jinshu, literally “yellow race, yellow-colored ethnicity”).

I also see that Google finds many instances of 黃人 as Chinese, particularly in the image search (safe for work).  :)

Those pictures refer to 小黃人／小黄人 (xiǎohuángrén, “Minions; little yellow man”). Wyang (talk) 22:31, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

• Oh, phooey -- my humour was too oblique.  :)   Yes, if you look at the search box, that was even the string I entered into Google Image. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 23:26, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

• If you search further, you will encounter this usage in Chinese: [2] (18+ disclaimer). You will understand if you read 黃#Chinese. :) Wyang (talk) 23:38, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

• Keep until a RFD-relevant rationale is provided; "not a word" is not one. If the existence of the term is questioned, RFV is the proper venue. --Dan Polansky (talk) 13:38, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Kept. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 01:31, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
