Talk:vær beredt

be prepared
Looks SOP to me. Also, the fact that it is the motto of the Boy Scouts should make no difference -WF


 * Wow. Bad entry. Surely any distinction between senses here should be made at prepare or prepared. Delete. Equinox ◑ 18:41, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep, it's a well-known international slogan, not just for scouts but also borrowed by pioneers in the former Eastern block, still used in some countries, such as North Korea. The term is important culturally and historically, IMO. Translations do not have to match the literal meaning. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 02:31, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. The first two senses are the verb be + the adjective prepared, and the third is the passive of the verb prepare. Mottos are not dictionary material IMO, whether the organisation is well known or not. If they’re kept, it should be in an appendix. — Ungoliant (Falai) 02:08, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The entry is already a phrase, not a verb or a set expression or other PoS. I don't see anything contradicting our CFI. It's a well-known and common phrase, sometimes used as a slogan or literally. It is likely to be sought by users and can't be compared with free form collocations, like "be dressed", "be careful". As I said, the translations of the slogan not necessarily match its literal meaning. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 02:22, 26 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure whether the senses in the entry at the time of the RfD warrant inclusion and am inclined against them. But there is a specific missing sense about a specific kind of preparedness that seems to me to be idiomatic, to wit, be prepared ("possess or carry a condom"). Citations will be at Citations:be prepared. DCDuring TALK 02:29, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, some literal senses could be deleted - they may be covered by, which I have added after RfD was added. Would be great if you could add the sense you think is missing. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 02:47, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I would keep only the scouts motto, everything else is just be+prepared. We probably have many other mottos and greetings, e.g. e pluribus unum, workers of the world, unite and Sieg Heil. --Hekaheka (talk) 13:11, 4 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Everything else should be covered by, which I think should always be there if a term has both idiomatic and literal senses. It remains to be verified the sense suggested by DCDuring. Senses 3 (to be willing and able) and 4 (to be made ready) could be deleted if there are no objections. I added after the entry got rfd, I think it should cover these senses now. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 23:18, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I had put citations for the euphemistic sense at Citations:be prepared that seemed adequate to me. DCDuring TALK 23:55, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, I see. Does anyone object to removing senses 3 and 4 and closing the case (including vær beredt below)? --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 04:20, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * No objections. The citation currently at def. 4 should be moved to def. 1. — Ungoliant (Falai) 11:50, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes I object because the pro-deleters out number the pro-keepers. Just delete it outright; once you get rid of the sum of parts material and the encyclopedic material, you end up with a empty page. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:41, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh there's a translation only tag on that sense. Go on then. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:45, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Kept. removed senses #3 and #4, Moved a citation to sense #1. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 22:37, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

RFD discussion: June–December 2018
Looks SOP to me. Was nominated previously, but kept on the rationale "as above". I don't see that the above, in this case, is germane.__Gamren (talk) 14:46, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
