Use in popular media not mentioned

N-word in the Russian language
@MBH In response to your revert, I'd like to clarify that I did not make an "unreasonable deletion of text." I provided specific reasons for the removal and even explained the issue in detail to you personally in the chat. The primary concern was the absence of a reliable source to support the content. It's essential to adhere to Wikipedia's guidelines and avoid sharing content that promotes racism or offensive ideas. – Mariâ Magdalina (talk) 15:25, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- In no way does a neutral explanation of an ethnic slur "promote racism". However, the lack of sourcing and questionable relevance — this section should concern only those words etymologically related to nigger — was a valid reason to delete. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:08, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
N-word should redirect to the slang term.
Popular consensus is the n-word is typically referring to the slang word rather than the slur. Coronaverification (talk) 07:19, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Warring over the case of a letter?
