Talk:Jew-free

This is not a word.

Further, for one to make the argument that it is a commonly used word runs counter to its presence in isolation from all of the other racial and ethnic types, which implies a strong antisemitic bias.

I propose deletion.

Jew + free. I don't think the translations support making this a translation hub, since "A translation does not qualify to support the English term if it is: a closed compound that is a word-for-word translation of the English term: German Autoschlüssel does not qualify to support the English "car key".

 * I think you're right on both counts--delete. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 22:57, 13 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm not Jewish, but to me it sounds a little anti-Jewish. But on the other hand we would end up deleting all terms suffixed with -free, whether they have a hyphen or not. That is a rather slippery slope. Keep, I think. DonnanZ (talk) 08:42, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * But when an apparently Israeli source uses the term . Hmm. DonnanZ (talk) 10:40, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * How is that relevant? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 11:05, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Referring to my comment about sounding anti-Jewish. DonnanZ (talk) 11:09, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * How is that relevant either? We're a dictionary. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:47, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless WT:COALMINE applies. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 11:05, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * There are a number of instances of Jewfree, though most of them are calques of judenrein provided to translate the word in context. There may be enough though to justify Jewfree, though--but I suppose that's an RFV matter. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 13:35, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I retract that--I looked back at the sources I had mentioned and they were all hyphenated. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 17:31, 14 June 2018 (UTC)


 * For what it's worth, I just watched the film Conspiracy, about the Wannsee Conference, and the term "Jew-free" was used about half a dozen times.--Father Goose (talk) 03:09, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not worth anything. Nobody doubts that it's real; we doubt that it is a single word, rather than two words hyphenated. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 03:14, 28 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Someone mentioned judenrein but there's also judenfrei from which this may have been calqued. In general it seems like one of those things that may slip through due to three people sloppily hyphenating, alas. Equinox ◑ 03:12, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep if attested. Ƿidsiþ 11:50, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, it can probably pass COALMINE.   ←₰-→  Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  13:42, 11 December 2018 (UTC)


 * RFD kept: No consensus for deletion. Furthermore, the outcome seems backed up by policy: WT:COALMINE. --Dan Polansky (talk) 12:22, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
