Talk:Miles Christi

RFD discussion: May–August 2017
Tagged but not listed. Seems SOP, too. - -sche (discuss) 02:53, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Trivially attestable, so I've moved -sche's post from RFV here to RFD. There were two senses originally in the entry, one for "soldier of Christ", which is patently SOP, and one for the, which is patently not Latin (and which I have therefore removed). Looking at actual attestation, however, I see that some writers have used miles Christi or miles Dei to refer not only to crusaders or other soldiers motivated at least nominally by Christianity, but to all Christians in general. I presume that this metaphorical usage is not exactly lexical, however. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 03:28, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The first sense is in the wrong case form anyway, it should be at if it is to be on any entry at all (and I don't think it should be). The second sense is encyclopedic imo and not dictionary material. Delete. — Kleio (t · c) 17:01, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * If it to be kept, then it needs the normal Latin formatting, along with inflection. SemperBlotto (talk) 05:29, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * It could also be an English entry under a wrong language header, cp. this older revision with its likely English references and English see also terms: . For English it wouldn't be SOP and as an English entry it doesn't need Latin inflection. -84.161.7.226 21:07, 2 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Latin section RFD failed; no judgement on a potential English section has been made. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 08:00, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
