- Being a trademark isn't in itself a reason for removal: we have things like Big Mac and kleenex. Equinox ◑ 14:13, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- There is incorrect definition also. It's website name and finnish dictionary does not contain word "Riemurasia" Veepeli (talk) 14:37, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- Speedy keep and move to rfv. It's on the wrong forum. None of what Veepeli is actually cause for deletion as having a separate word Riemurasia does not mean that riemurasia should be deleted. Nor does its absence from other dictionaries (Veepeli doesn't say which dictionary anyway). Renard Migrant (talk) 17:00, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- It's listed in Suomi Wiktionary. I have a hard job understanding Finnish, but what I could make out through cross references would seem to verify the translation of "vagina". Any trademark is normally capitalised anyway. DonnanZ (talk) 17:28, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- The Suomi entry was created in May 2008, and Veepeli has also been editing that today. The trademark wasn't registered until 2015, so I think it's a closed case as far as we're concerned. DonnanZ (talk) 18:01, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- Riemurasia company website www.riemurasia.net was created on 2003. It was before Suomi entry. Veepeli (talk) 13:55, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. No valid case has been made for deletion. —CodeCat 14:01, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- I smell a rat here anyway. DonnanZ (talk) 10:12, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
The word "riemurasia" predates the website which was opened in April 2003. I could find a music recording by that name from 1938 (by Matti Jurva ja Ramblers-orkesteri). There the word is used as synonym of gramofoni (“gramophone”). In the web chats "riemurasia" seems to be sometimes used as euphemism of vagina. I wasn't able to confirm usage of vagina -sense which would predate the website. --Hekaheka (talk) 15:22, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
- Further, the name of the company and the website are spelled with a capital "R". --Hekaheka (talk) 15:41, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep: a solid-written word, no space and no hyphen, is not traditionally considered to be a sum of parts. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:17, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

A Finnish entry entered to mean vagina. Challenged by User:Veepeli in RFD. Any attesting quotations meeting WT:ATTEST? Pinging Hekaheka as well. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:22, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- Already discussed in RFD. Veepeli probably has an ulterior motive. DonnanZ (talk) 15:37, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- Added three quotes. The third one is a bit dubious, but this being a slang word, the permanently archived quotes are hard to come by. --Hekaheka (talk) 10:28, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- In the third quote, the back-translation from the Finnish text would go roughly like this: "An old-fashioned <beep> in both senses of the word: full of random crap, and you never knew, when somebody would show up to roil it." I don't know which English synonym of "vagina" would fit here in place of <beep>. It isn't awfully great Finnish either. I would say this is more than enough work done for this insignificant entry. If 2+1 quotes aren't enough, just kill it. --Hekaheka (talk) 10:39, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
