Talk:ÖISM

I wonder why this is "ÖISM" instead of "OISM", given that all the abbreviations have English words starting with "O" instead of "Ö". Maitchy (talk) 01:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

The O is incorrect. --Pious Eterino (talk) 23:16, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It's a repeat of, entered by the same user. Delete. DonnanZ (talk) 23:34, 28 November 2018 (UTC)**
 * Delete. The creator of the entry is Turkish, and Turkish has vowel harmony, which I'm guessing would prevent a back vowel like "o" and a front vowel like "i" from occurring next to each other. It looks like a simple case of the entry creator absent-mindedly forgetting what language they were working with for a moment- no more entry-worthy than a typo.

 * This should of course be deleted as being obviously incorrect, but, for the record, Turkish vowel harmony is not an absolute rule and does not apply at all to initialisms, witness for example the common initialism for . Also, in the Turkish alphabet  is the majuscule of the back vowel .  --Lambiam 10:41, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The contributor gives German as his Muttersprache, but there are many Turks living in Germany. Personally I think this is a German Ö. DonnanZ (talk) 10:52, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll interpret it aesthetically as a metal umlaut. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  11:13, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Obviously cannot exist. Fay Freak (talk) 11:38, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * This should be in RFV as existence is questioned. However, let's takes this RFD to be a speedy delete nom so I don't oppose deleting via RFD. The nominated entry is entered as an English initialism. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:49, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedied as an obvious error. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:57, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
