RFD discussion: February 2020–April 2021
SOP. The Czech and Polish entries given as translations should be moved to and  respectively, and added to the translation tables at  and. Canonicalization (talk) 09:04, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per WT:THUB. Even if (up to ears) is created, it would not necessarily be translated as "madly" outside of the phrase  . Czech  is listed in Slovník české frazeologie a idiomatiky and also in Nizozemsko-český/ česko-nizozemský kapesní slovník. Also of note is that madly in love is listed as a boldfaced item in Macmillan English Dictionarys love entry. As for the Polish, I am much less certain about its translation in relation to , not being a Polish native speaker, but at least, the item is mentioned in Nowy słownik angielsko-polski 2003. There is also Japanese 首ったけ by  indicated to mean "head over heels in love; madly in love", but that is entered as a noun; should this perhaps be changed to adjective? --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:59, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * To answer your first point: could contain all the information necessary: "madly (as in "madly in love")", "used exclusively with ", etc.
 * If we really want a translation target entry, I think it should be, which strikes me as more idiomatic, and for which the lemming argument is somewhat stronger.

 * In general, I think this is a borderline case, and the translations are also borderline. Canonicalization (talk) 11:31, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I like to opt for a more user-friendly design rather than go for artificial constructions such as "madly (used exclusively with )" to achieve minimality at any and all costs; I do not want red dwarf be moved to red with the use of a similar artificial construction. As for the choice of the translation hub entry, shows madly in love to have a higher frequency; head over heels in love is subject to the same sum-of-parts argument, by being broken down to head over heels + in love. That said, it would be better to have the hub at head over heels in love than not to have it at all. --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:43, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: the sense at (wildly, without control, etc.) is perfectly adequate to explain this. Equinox ◑ 06:35, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete and move the translations to . Or simply rename the page to preserve history.  The translations aren't especially tied to this form.  The Slavic phrases, for example, are "up to the ears" which is a better semantic match for . Vox Sciurorum (talk) 13:07, 17 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Clearly just SOP. Do we want "deeply in love", "crazily in love", "deeply in debt", "driving madly down the street"? Facts707 (talk) 10:51, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
