Talk:gasgiganto

gasogiganto
Esperanto, "gas giant". This appears to be yet another Wikipedia protologism. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  10:20, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

gasgiganto has three results, all three of which do not mention the word in their previews and are from Fonto:Wikipedia. gasogiganto has 0 results in Google Books. Delete as SOP, unattestable Razorflame 20:48, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am not completely sure but I don't believe those books derived from Wikipedia are considered durable. It's by the way a little unusual, but not wrong, to cast bolded votes in RFV. Usually these requests are either met or they expire, unless there is a disagreement. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  17:58, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, and I actually used the "Discord" way of bolding my vote. Thanks for the information, though. 18:57, 24 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Gasgiganto or gasogiganto in Esperanto could be a term for a gas giant, i.e. a Jupiter-like planet, in the language of astronomy and astrophysics. The Esperanto Wikipedia has an article about the former (that article hasn't yet been reviewed but I don't notice any glaring vandalism in it), but the latter would be an equally well-formed synonym according tho the Fundamenta Gramatiko (the 15 basic rules of Esperanto grammar).
 * eo:gasgiganto names jupitersimila planedo, gasogiganto, gasplanedo as synonyms. By hovering the mouse over the "In other languages" links of that eo-wiki article, I see that many languages use the exact equivalent of gas giant to name that kind of planet, with a smaller but significant number naming them gas planets so the loan-translations gas(o)giganto and gas(o)planedo would seem to be the "natural way" of naming them in Esperanto. In an Esperanto dictionary these words might be found as subentries of gigant/o and planed/o respectively, depending on the lexicographer's or lexicographers' classification method for compound words.
 * Note that books in Esperanto almost always have confidential print circulations, which means that they usually don't get scanned by bibliographic corpus makers, especially since many self-styled serious people regard Esperanto as not worthy of their notice, child's play, dead toy of a crazy 19th century Jewish non-linguist, and other such untruths and half-truths. I wouldn't go to Google Books for them. If you wanted a reliable collection of books in Esperanto, you should endeavour to get access to the catalogue of the library of the Universal Esperanto Association. They usually receive at least one complimentary copy (and often several more to be sold) of everything published in Esperanto anywhere.
 * All this said: should this word have a page in the English Wiktionary? It already has one: gasogiganto resends to gasgiganto and the latter translates it as gas giant. This seems reasonable to me. If these articles didn't exist, I would probably not create them; but I'm not an astronomer or astrophysicist. Now that they are there, I wouldn't be the one to delete them. Astrophysics might be a niche subject in the eyes of, let's say, sociologists; so what? The converse is probably also true.

 * This is all irrelevant. Also, you seem to be unaware of Tekstaro. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:05, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
