Apparent neologism; the only sources I could find are mirrors of the single source cited by this article. Basalisk ^{inspect damage}⁄_berate 15:18, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Seems to be an accidental neologism for mutton fat jade, which is actually mentioned (and cited from NYT) in Jade already. There's also an article on Nephrite (sounds like kidney fat, doesn't it); and "White jade" and "Yangzhi jade" are also common terms (e.g. The Telegraph which also mentions "Mutton fat jade") so they may deserve at least their own Redirects also. The sheep/mutton fat jade has plenty of possible sources e.g. Timeless Jade, China Briefing, White Jade Carvings at British Auctions, and helpful blogs (I know) like Mutton fat white jade. Possible actions would include rename to Mutton fat jade, or redirect to one of Jade, Nephrite or for that matter Chinese jade. Yeah, it's a bit of a muddle already.

Wasn't Nephrite that Egyptian chick? EEng (talk) 00:34, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This kind of looks like a content fork. My accidental neologism, do you mean this may be a translation error? Roodog2k (talk) 16:16, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes, I do, but I wasn't going to be so unkind as to say so, given the likely input from non-native speakers. And you're probably right about the content fork. I think a set of redirects (MFJ -> Nephrite, WJ ditto) could sort this out nicely. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:31, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rename and Redirect: Rename to Mutton fat jade, which is a widely-used term, and make that a Redirect to Nephrite. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:59, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Nothing here worth saving; the topic is already well-covered in numerous articles about jade, as noted above. In particular, the contents of this article duplicates that in Ancient Old Jade (which badly needs editing, but that's not an AfD issue). -- 202.124.75.87 (talk) 12:38, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
