[edit] Joder

A[n] rambling extended, multi-lingual dictionary definition. brenneman(t)(c) 12:01, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
Offence unintended, poor word choice. - brenneman(t)(c) 23:00, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

  • This article does seem to be discussing the word as much as defining it, so it's more than just a dicdef. Still I'm unsure if Wikipedia is the place for this sort of thing. Abstain for now. Will watch this one. Agentsoo 13:47, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep:D. J. Bracey (talk) 14:21, 3 August 2005 (UTC) The article presents facts about lenition and clear cut examples of usage, and I may come back to add quotations if I can find them. Such will not be feasible on the fuck article, as that is already large and broad that a quotation/in depth explanation from a random word attached to the end of the article would look very contrasting to the rest of the article. Instead of redirecting, I added a "see also" link for the curious reader wanting to have a broader perspective. The entire purpose for my writing the article was to make the Spanish profane term less vague. I, therefore, believe that this article can stand on its own. However, I respect 195.194.4.65's opinion. I also wrote the article on Chingar in collaboration with Hajor, and it has expanded quite rapidly. I see no reason why this article could not do the same. D. J.

Response to Aaron Brenneman: I believe the article has more than a simple dictionary definition, which has been stated by both the previous editor and I. I don't believe that brash statement belongs on top of the page anyway, as it will probably bias other users' opinions becuase it looks as if it is a summary of the article. Take care, D. J. Bracey (talk) 14:30, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
New idea: Create a redirect as User:195.194.4.65 suggested, and merge extra info from Joder to the Chingar article. D. J. Bracey (talk) 16:26, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not an encyclopedia article. If we're going to do this for the Spanish word for "fuck" why not every other verb in every other language? Bad idea. -R. fiend 15:12, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
