Chink

This is merely a dictionary definition, and at best could be an article about a word, not about a subject, which violates Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Xyzzyplugh 23:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Pablothegreat85 23:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article needs expansion on usage and history, like Nigger and Spic, and other articles listed under Category:Ethnic slurs. It doesn't need deletion. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 23:42, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Usage and history are part of a dictionary definition. Making a simple dictionary definition into an extensive dictionary definition wouldn't change the fact that this violates Wikipedia is not a dictionary. You bring up a good point, though. We do have some articles which are merely about words, rather than about subjects. Presumably, these are unusually notable words which due to their notability make it reasonable for them to belong here. Is "chink" an unusually notable word? --Xyzzyplugh 23:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, for being a racial slur, and one of the worse ones for those of East Asian descent. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 00:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - So you believe that all racial slurs are inherently super-notable, so that we should have articles on racial slurs but not on any other type of words? --Xyzzyplugh 01:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - I never said we should not have articles on "any other type of words". Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 01:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to List of ethnic slurs#C. --TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@ 00:34, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be all for a Merge and Redirect to List of ethnic slurs#C per discussion, but noting also that we're not a dictionary. Maybe delete is more appropriate. --Dennisthe2 01:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, I'm torn between deleting it and merging it with List of ethnic slurs#C. It fits in with the article, but Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 01:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- How about we merge this one and then if you want you can make an AfD for List of ethnic slurs? —dgies^t_c 01:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
