Appendix talk:English words with Greek and Latin roots

RFD discussion: July 2017–October 2022
The first one has already been RFM'ed, to no avail for lack of participants. --Barytonesis (talk) 20:35, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep for reasons stated in Appendix talk:English words by Latin antecedents. Note that the nomination lacks a rationale and as such is not a contribution to a meaningful discussion about merits. If this nomination results in deletion, please move the two pages to my user space. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:07, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm tired of having to deal with half-baked and full of mistakes appendices (I can already see one error in these two lines!). This is subpar to the quality we're trying to achieve, and just gives a poor image of the project. At least for now, we will be better served by a CAT:English hybrid compounds or the like. Categories are much easier to fill. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 20:15, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * But the appendix namespace is specifically for very trivial or marginal content. Plus, there is no deadline on this project: it's all a work in process. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:18, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * For the record, User:Per utramque cavernam above is User:Barytonesis above. As for the Şdeletion rationale now provided: 1) half-baked: yes, wiki pages are incomplete, and you are not required to deal with them, especially in the appendix namespace. 2) "full of mistakes appendices (I can already see one error in these two lines!)": One error does not indicate "full of mistakes"; let's correct the mistakes and move on. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:44, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete? - we do have Category:English terms derived from Greek (and Latin, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Native languages and all others we can identify). Although there are a huge number of terms in ...Greek starting with an uppercase letter that could maybe go into a subcategory? Facts707 (talk) 05:05, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * This is for words that have both Greek and Latin intermixed. Is there any category for that? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:41, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep No rationale other than that it's "boring". —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:41, 7 November 2021 (UTC)


 * IMO should be achieved with categories. (I don't know if it's yet possible to search by two categories together.) I really can't see this tiny page (two entries!) even beginning to keep pace with the actual mainspace content. Equinox ◑ 22:55, 7 November 2021 (UTC)


 * It's possible to search the intersection of two categories: using MediaWikiSearch, external tools. However, most of the results are for English terms deriving from Ancient Greek via a basically-identical Latin intermediary. Whereas, I think the goal of this appendix is to present terms that are a compound of morphemes ultimately deriving separately from the two ancient languages. That cannot be achieved using present category searches, and IMO is interesting. 70.175.192.217 23:07, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Userify. CAT:Hybrid compounds by language would be an interesting category. ·~   dictátor · mundꟾ  14:52, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, actually. I'd prefer it as an appendix and not a category. I'm surprised no one has jumped in to fix this up and argue for keeping. Ultimateria (talk) 01:34, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
