Talk:I need a compass

RFD discussion: June–August 2016
I admit I created this in 2010, but "I need a compass" does not sound like an entry very likely to be used, even though people added translations in multiple languages. Maybe the entry could just be speedied. We do have "I need ...". --Daniel Carrero (talk) 05:41, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Easily constructible from I need ... and compass, which will even make it possible to determine which sense of "compass" is meant. (As it stands, I don't know whether to use the entry when I need a little watch-like thing with a needle that points north or when I need a pointy thing to draw a circle with.) —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 06:30, 9 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Weak delete. I think that having "I need" + noun is generally sufficient: even if someone gets the gender or case wrong somehow they are still very likely to be understood. OTOH I've seen worse phrasebook stuff. Hah! Equinox ◑ 08:41, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - along with most of the phrasebook. SemperBlotto (talk) 10:28, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. How many people actually need a compass these days? Or, more to the point, how many people need to ask for one in another language? Chuck Entz (talk) 12:53, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
 * lol, I want Chuck logic to be applied to all the sexy phrasebook entries. Equinox ◑ 12:57, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Apparently I need a GPS would score more phrasebook points than I need a compass. (but I'm not suggesting we should have the GPS one) --Daniel Carrero (talk) 16:54, 9 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete per Chuck and also, does not find anything. --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:32, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
