Talk:writing as separate words

RFV discussion: August 2022–February 2023
Not a noun; see Talk:writing as one word. The translations (at least one of which, the French one, is contrived) should be moved elsewhere, maybe to a template; see. PUC – 20:33, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

this clearly cannot be cited. Close this as you like. Ioaxxere (talk) 21:25, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I'm not satisfied with how this was closed (or "writing as one word" for that matter). Deciding on the inclusion of a translation hub through RFV doesn't make sense; shouldn't it be decided through RFD since they're a special case in CFI? "Some attested translation hubs should be included despite being non-idiomatic and some excluded..." The whole point of translation hubs is that they're useful despite not meeting CFI for English.

 * Feel free to move this to RFD then. Ioaxxere (talk) 19:45, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * THUB explicitly mentions that "the attested English term has to be common; rare terms don't qualify." This entry does not satisfy this condition. PUC – 16:08, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * This collocation is probably attestable as a noun, but is not at all common. English does have some expressions like write solid (probably SoP, see solid) and write hyphenated (also SoP), but write as separate words is very much like "normal" write (ie, it is unmarked).
 * Do we really have translation hubs for inflected forms? DCDuring (talk) 17:47, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I guess I was hung up on idiomaticity and not commonness. It still seems strange to me to RFV and not RFD these cases, but I think it's safe to say this page has failed and I've deleted it. Ultimateria (talk) 20:51, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I moved this to Appendix:Terms with no English equivalent/writing as separate words. This is where THUBs that fail RFV should go. This, that and the other (talk) 08:01, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I wasn't aware of that. Ultimateria (talk) 05:19, 28 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Where does this rule come from? Littering the appendix with such dreck seems like a poor move. It is not a "noun". PUC – 21:13, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @PUC: The intent is to allow phrases which are idiomatic in a number of non-English languages, but not English, to enjoy the benefits of a centralised translation box. Feel free to adjust the PoS if you want, but the translations are nouns. See the discussion at Tea_room/2022/August. This, that and the other (talk) 22:59, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
