[edit] Albophobia

Dictionary definition; recreation of previously deleted article; non-notable term (139 ghits, one of which is my user page where I list pages that I have deleted.) Prod removed. Brianyoumans 05:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Move to wiktionary. --Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs} 08:03, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Move to wiktionary. Term's definition; not encyclopedic article.--Yannismarou 09:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• I am fairly convinced that this will not satisfy Wiktionary's attestation criteria. There are barely a handful of occurrences of this purported word in running text anywhere. This appears to be a protologism, not a word. Interestingly, in contrast, there appears to be evidence that "albophobie" is a word, in French. Uncle G 13:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki to wiktionary — It's dual root makes it seem like a neologism to me (latin and greek roots combined are unusual). Doing a google search for "Fear of white people" give a plethora of results, from "caucasophobia" to "gringophobia" and "albophobia" in the middle. But we're not here to discuss that - WP:NOT a dictionary. The people at wiktionary will have more experience in validating claims of word existance. Martinp23 23:31, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
  • I am one of "the people at Wiktionary", and my opinion, based upon experience, is above. Uncle G 08:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Looking at the above linked policy, I agree with you that it wouldn't satisfy WT's criteria - perhaps an addition to wiktionary's list of protologisms? Martinp23 11:18, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Personally, I feel this afd is premature. It would appear that the creator of the article is simply following a request from Wikipedia:Translation into English/French the article fr:Albophobie, which seems to be quite extensive and would legitimate as an encyclopedia article, but has stopped with the translation because of the AfD, and is confused. The problem is in my opinion is with the title: I'd opt for a rename, possibly Anti-White racism, or something similar.--Aldux 15:57, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • In which case, I would suggest that the article be tagged with {{Translation_WIP}} or {{inuse}} to indicate what is happenning. The translator should be commended for his/her efforts :) Martinp23 16:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm not certain that is the case. If you look at the article before my first prod, it had these weird page images in it. I don't know what is going on, but I have a strong suspicion that nothing good is coming out of it. --Brianyoumans 16:36, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Ah, I see! The page images are from the French article... Hmm. I agree, they were translating the French article. The only question now is whether the French article is worth translating. I agree, we should let the translator finish. I'm not sure we are going to like the result, but we can deal with that later. nomination withdrawn --Brianyoumans 16:45, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
  • fr:Albophobie is a redirect to fr:Racisme antiblanc, which is already interwiki linked to an English article: en:Black supremacy. Uncle G 10:37, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • But, if you look at the articles, they aren't the same. I read French very poorly, but even I can see that the material covered is very different. If they were the same at one time, they aren't now. --Brianyoumans 02:47, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
    • The interwiki link is indeed very poor. Both articles are on similar subjects, but the french article does't state anything about the fact that Black people would be superior to white people. -- lucasbfr ^talk 04:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
• Wait and see if the article becomes an encyclopedic article or stays at the state of a mere definition. But the article should be renamed with a title like anti white racism (I hate this expression). -- lucasbfr ^talk 04:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
