Deletion debate
[edit]
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Using my favorite 'non-native learner comes to Wiktionary about a foreign language' scenario, this page would fare better in Wikipedia or an Esperanto appendix. It is a brand name and does not meet WT:CFI, after all. 218.186.8.242 04:24, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
- I would go for delete, though technically it's not a brand name, but a website name. We do include commercial brand names, e.g. Toblerone, Zumba, etc. Some citations might make it more convincing though. (BTW shouldn't this be in WT:RFV?) ---> Tooironic 09:59, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

- I didn't understand that a distinction is to be made between a product, brand, or organization that is in the realm of private ownership and explicit profit-making and those not. We do seem to make exceptions for sovereigns and their geographic instrumentalities and for cute and cuddly entities and sacred cows. A website that uses a name that is not registered as a trade or business name (if that is indeed the case here) seems as likely as not to be serving a promotional purpose, in this case, for the Esperanto industry (there being no associated population of native speakers of the language). We do not (or should not) include other language references, AFAICT, except for their attestable abbreviations (eg, OED. See WT:RFD#Oxford English Dictionary.
- Move to RfV for attestation as a brand name. DCDuring TALK 12:04, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
