Talk:नोटबंदी

RFV discussion: August 2018–November 2021
Attempted removal of without any citations, let alone spanning a year. DCDuring (talk) 18:00, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * This word was seen in the category Hot words older than a year, so I removed that template from the word's page, as it was written on the Category's page that this category should be empty.
 * Also, this word came into common usage when Indian PM announced demonetization of 500 & 1000 rupee currency notes, on 8th Nov 2016. So, yes, it has been over a year.
 * Nonetheless, the word was always in existence, as earlier too demonetization had taken place in 1970s.
 * Entire news is filled with this word. You just have to Google नोटबंदी, and you'll thousands and thousands of news articles on this word, both in domestic and international media. Most recent example I can quote now is this BBC Hindi report here dated 30th August 2018.
 * Also on there is Hindi Wikipedia [page] on that incident, in which this word comes frequently.

 * Not yet attested as there still aren't 3 durably archived quotes. Thus it would be RfV failed by now. --Myrelia (talk) 11:17, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I took the above explanation by User:JainismWikipedian to demonstrate to everyone's satisfaction that “the term is in clearly widespread use” (see top of page). In the time that no one objected it could have passed thirty times, but alright,, would one of you like to resolve this? —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 15:19, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * There's not that many people who know Hindi here. Also, perhaps we should just remove "clearly widespread use", since most of us have avoided using it; the argument is it's an excuse to remove red (sense, color of blood and strawberries*) from RFV without bother. I'd think demonetization would need quotes if brought to RFV, and the Hindi version is no different.
 * * It amuses me that I used the exact same two references for the color red that the entry uses without looking.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:10, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The procedure should probably be reviewed if it results in an endless page of unresolvable rfvs. For the time being I'm in favour of using the wriggle room in the rules to treat Hindi entries with more leniency than English entries if it means we can keep what is probably a perfectly fine entry, at least according to the native speaker above.
 * * You're right that is amusing. —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 17:48, 20 September 2021 (UTC)


 * for the noun, sense “demonetisation”, 3 quotes from 2017, 2019, 2021 now present at the entry. I have deleted the proper noun sense which refers to the particular 2016 demonetisation of India as I couldn't find citations without prior-built context. —Svārtava [t•c•u•r] 10:40, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
