RFV discussion: July 2011–March 2012
I cannot find this word in any dictionary, nor can I find it on the Internet. Haplology 18:13, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't speak Japanese, but there are hits on Google Search and Google Books. ---&gt; Tooironic 23:21, 26 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I sure don't have it either in my Shogakukan Kokugo Dai Jiten from 1988, nor in the other dictionaries I have to hand, but Google does give me over 11,000 hits (search for "良気").


 * That said, the first few hits that I looked into (all on the same site) use the kun'yomi ege, not ryōki, with the stated definition of:
 * "「良気な」(えげな)とは・・・よさそげな、ないすふぃーりんぐな、思いも"
 * This use of borrowed English ("ないすふぃーりんぐな" = "nice-feeling" transliterated into kana) in the definition makes me think the term ege is somewhat slangy.


 * Searching for 良気 with the specific pronunciation ryōki in either hiragana or katakana only produces hits regarding Japanese personal names, with no evidence I can find of use as a word.


 * That's not to say that ryōki is never used as a word -- manga are notorious for coming up with various neologisms based on kanji readings. But somehow I doubt that the peculiarities of comic book usage are enough for a term to pass muster for inclusion in Wiktionary.


 * What do others say? Is use in manga enough to warrant including a term here?  -- Cheers, Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 23:49, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't see any reason to make a difference between a manga and another kind of book (NPOV, we don't judge words). Lmaltier 08:44, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Had no citations in the entry, and Google search hits themselves don't count, because most webpages are not durably archived by our definition. So I deleted it. - -sche (discuss) 03:22, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
