 * Delete. I'm expecting someone to say "But it is a term for a specific concept" or "But it has a Wikipedia article" or "But it has an acronym"... --WikiTiki89 19:48, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * "But it's got a translation table!" MSM, of course, is well worth keeping in this sense. Equinox ◑ 19:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * "Keep as a phrasebook entry; I always need to know how to say this when I travel. And it is culturally important and meets Wikipedia's notability criteria and has an odd number of vowels." (&gt;.&gt;) Yep, delete — it was coined precisely to be a sum-of-parts designation. Move any translations to MSM (and link them as SOPs). - -sche (discuss) 20:09, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * On the fence about this one. It's of course pretty clear what it means, but has a widely-used acronym and in some contexts (i.e. AIDS research, blood donation) refers specifically to men who have certain types of sex with other men (for example, until recently, "men who have sex with men" were one of the groups disallowed from donating blood in the UK, even the actual disqualifying question only refers to anal and oral sex). That's a very weak deviation from the literal meaning of the words, I'll admit, but it's there. On the other hand, not a single medical dictionary has it.
