 * Do we want this? Significant enough for an English entry? I'd just toss it. Entries for (e.g) Fushimijō seem reasonable, it is important in Japanese. Robert Ullmann 13:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * It has particular translations in different languages, such as Hebrew טירת פושימי (tirat Fushimi), and Chinese 伏见城 (Fújiàn chéng). Keep. —Stephen 14:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, formatted as a proper entry. RfC tag removed. Robert Ullmann 18:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Hm, I don't think so - this is an encyclopedic entry. Wikipedia will have translations. Pardon my use of the thin-edge-of-the-wedge argument, but allowing this opens the way for allowing the name of every man-made structure in the world. Adding rfv tag. &mdash; Paul G 15:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I don’t think there are encyclopedic words, only encyclopedic definitions. Any translations that Wikipedia will have will lack transliterations, gender and other information, and in general the sort of etymological info that we often provide. I occasionally hear of the thin-edge/slippery-slope argument, but I’ve never seen any real evidence that it actually occurs. Many of the entries on Wiktionary also have entries on Wikipedia. Rather than a reason for exclusion, I would consider its existence on Wikipedia as reason for inclusion. In any case, I don’t believe our Fushimi Castle will be interpreted by anyone as an invitation to list his grandpa’s barn, nor even any alarming overload of structure names. —Stephen 01:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
