Suecophile

The article was moved in spite probably it should not have been moved and that was made before the template was put there. The first letter as a capital letter is in line with other words like this, see Francophile and Fennophile for instance. Don't move my question to you to my talk page. Stop warring about this and discuss it instead. Lilac pig (talk) 17:01, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

I checked BGC for similar words and found that Francophile gets more than 90,000 hits, Russophile about 30,000 hits, Italophile and Hispanophile 5,000 each, Fennophile 250, but Suecophile only gets one. Instead, Swedophile gets about 50 hits.

Please don't answer on my talk page. Put the answers at the talkpage where the thread was started, and I will answer you there. Lilac pig (talk) 17:32, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Lilac pig: I don't understand what you mean with "talkpage where the thread was started". From my point of view I'm writing on CodeCat's Talk page and an entry signed by you is right on top of the thread. I agree with you that it seems like a strange solution to delete Suecophile and keep suecophile, as the only BGC hit is for the capitalized form. Funny enough, we have Suecophiles unchallenged. One might also argue that neither of them is attestable (3 permanently archived citations are required), whereas Swedophile is.

I saw your message because it says "New messages (3)" on top of the Wiktionary page for me (right next to "Contributions") and the headline on this page where I write now is "Special page: New messages". Lilac pig (talk) 12:53, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
