Talk:marketing campaign

marketing campaign
Seems SoP to me - "marketing" + "campaign". We don't have an entry for political campaign and that has a Wikipedia page. ---&gt; Tooironic 14:20, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per nomination. No doubt BD will have something to say about this as he created it. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:52, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * As far as I recall (and this was over three years ago, so bear with me), I created it from a list of terms in a glossary of advertising terms, on the principle that our dictionary should not lack definitions that are present in other dictionaries. However, I have no special attachment to the phrase. Note that there is also an entry for marketing-campaign (which I did not create), which should receive the same dispostion, and an incoming link from the Finnish markkinointikampanja, which can easily be fixed by splitting the link. bd2412 T 19:33, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Specialist dictionaries are a bit different anyway. Other than that, my Oxford Dictionary lists Isaac Newton, Andrew Lloyd Webber and whatnot other dictionaries have different criteria. And some of the time they get it wrong, too. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:39, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That is true. Maybe there is an intermediate solution available, like having appendices of terms found in specialized dictionaries/glossaries that would be too far down the SOP spectrum to merit entries here. bd2412 T 19:49, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I've been thinking of starting Appendix:English glossary of poker and of juggling. Some of these already exist (military slang, for example). Mglovesfun (talk) 19:50, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably should be at Appendix:English glossary of poker terms. I could see having an Appendix:English glossary of advertising terms. bd2412 T 19:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea. As we do a better job at the entries that are closer to our core, we may decide to include any and all of such terms or perhaps some subsets. Business and finance glossaries are an evergreen source of basically SoP terms. Economics and statistics have some too. DCDuring TALK 22:02, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that's a reasonable compromise between our desire to maintain a corpus that represents actual and distinctive "words", and our desire to match and exceed the coverage of the rest of the world's dictionaries. bd2412 T 00:22, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't forget the translation function. I need often to check that a Finnish SoP translates into an equal SoP in another language. In this case markkinointi: + kampanja: has a nice 1:1 relation, but this is not always the case, and not necessarily with all languages. The multilingual aspect should be taken into account in the design of these appendices. --Hekaheka 09:41, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Query: How should be address the translation issue for attributive use of noun? Should all translations of English nouns always include an appropriate adjective if the target language does not feature attributive use of nouns (at least for the definition in question)? I've been thinking this needs to be brought up on BP. If there is no solution at the translation level we might have to accept Adjective PoSs and the associated redundancy problems in English.

 * The topical glossaries could be a bit like Appendix:Chess pieces, but the roles of the axes reversed. First column on the left could contain the English term, second column a short gloss and the third column the corresponding term in another language. The dimensions of the table would remain manageable, if one could choose the language of the third column from a menu. After saying this, I confess that I don't know whether the current software supports my idea. If this works, a similar approach might be used in Phrasebook, which is currently developing to a redundancy problem. --Hekaheka 12:19, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I started a debate about entry titles at Category talk:English appendices. Let's discuss it there, where it will later be findable. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:34, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
