[edit] Teutophone
del dicdef for a nonnotable neologism. Barely a blip in google. Mukadderat 23:58, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

- Move to Wikitionary Teutophone is an acceptable word, just like francophone and anglophone for french and english; however, this does belong in Wikitionary.
- Keep. I'm a bit confused here. Seems like this should be renamed to Germanophone and then expanded to something comparable to Anglophone or Francophone or even Tagalophone. We have a lot of articles of this type. Why discriminate against German? --JJay 02:16, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- I will get rid of Tagalophone: merge/redirect it to Tagalog. While "teutophone" case is a mistake of mukadderat to check against "germanophone", the idea is that only those "-phone" articles make sense in which something can be said beyond dicdef. I had hard time to defend them, see, eg., Talk:-phone and in some other places. If you look into these articles, they describe certain nontrivial cultural connotations beyond dicdef "speaker of <this> language". "teutophone" fails notability. `'mikkanarxi 04:19, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Not sure if I am following your logic here. There are hundreds of hits on google scholar for Germanophone [1], not to mention news and other sources. Why can't the article be expanded to include the cultural connotations you are talking about? --JJay 13:31, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- We are not discussing Germanophone article here. If someone can write something referenced and beyond dicdef into the "Germanophone" (which is a very meaningful redirect now), they are very welcome. `'mikkanarxi 04:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- We are discussing germanophone since the meaning is apparently identical per my initial vote. Also, if you find the redirect "meaningful", why not argue for a redirect of teutophone? --JJay 21:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

&Delete as dicdef, and note that there is nothing stopping anyone from creating Germanophone - it is not within the scope of this AfD to support or deny that decision. Themindset 22:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
