Talk:astro

The examples in Citations are not nouns, except the third one where it appears to be short for astrophysics, or in any case is certainly not intended by the speaker to be a noun meaning "celestial body". Also, I don't think English language citations should be used to support this entry when there is no English language definition.— This unsigned comment was added by 99.241.148.166 (talk) at 23:59, 26 August 2013.

The examples in Citations aren't for anything currently in the entry. I think someone is planning to add an English section, but they want to provide evidence that it's in use as English so that it won't get deleted when they do add it (see WT:CFI). It's perfectly acceptible to do so, even encouraged. In some cases we even have Citations sections to non-existent entries. Chuck Entz (talk) 00:44, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
