Talk:er det det det er

er det det det er
The oldest entry in English Wiktionary, by the way. Almost ten years without being editted...From what I can see, it looks just like a fancy phrase where Norwegians can string the word det three times and sound smart. Is it actually a phrase? Also, the translations given makes no sense. --A230rjfowe (talk) 21:03, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Is that what it is, the oldest entry? The English phrase makes sense, but whether the Norwegian phrase does, I can't say. It doesn't seem to be attested, and I question whether or not it's idiomatic. Attestation is a matter for WT:RFV, but if it's not idiomatic, I'd think we could just deal with it here. - -sche (discuss) 22:22, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not the oldest entry in Wiktionary, maybe the oldest Norwegian entry. Anyway it seems to be verifiable. Maybe it can be moved to or  as an example sentence, and not killed off altogether. Donnanz (talk) 08:51, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Up until yesterday, it may have been the entry that had gone the longest without being edited. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 09:11, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * @Angr - That's what I means by "oldest". --A230rjfowe (talk) 20:13, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep until a proper rationale for deletion is provided; "a fancy phrase where Norwegians can string the word det three times and sound smart" is not such a rationale. The term seems to have a high frequency per, but when I click to the right multiple times, I get only 235 hits. The current translation says "is that what it is": what does it even mean and when do they say it?

 * Comment I'm not sure whether or not it should have an entry. It is a completely normal way of saying "is that what it is", but it's not really idiomatic I think, it's just a sentence. So I'm not sure. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 17:03, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per Jon Harald Søby (though he didn't vote delete himself); it's no more idiomatic than or . —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 17:22, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I have made a couple of additions to det (as mentioned above) so the phrase is not completely lost if it is deleted. I am abstaining. Donnanz (talk) 22:58, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete; SOP. It also doesn't seem to be attested, so if it's kept it needs citations. - -sche (discuss) 06:00, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
