Archiving rejected requests?
Do we have any set process for archiving rejected requests? Things like ぶえ, where there's been discussion about why we won't add the entry. -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 22:19, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Are they SoP? If not, what are the criteria?
Hi. Are these terms SoP in Japanese? is already defined. What about these: The list is incomplete but it probably won't be too long.

If they are not SoP, what are the criteria? This pattern with using country/area abbreviations doesn't seem to be very productive. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:42, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * They are clearly words in their own right. There are not so many countries that can be expressed with a single character (less than 20, I think). — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 08:50, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * 大辞林/Daijirin has 訪欧, 訪日, and 訪米. 大辞泉/Daijisen has 訪欧, 訪韓, 訪中, 訪日, and 訪米. I would say that the distinction between these compounds and 仏英辞典 is that in the former, the characters are used affixally, and in the latter, the characters are used as abbreviations or attributively.

 * OK. I have created and included some "See also's", which show that this pattern is not unique. I'm sure there are more combinations of "kanji with a verb sense" + "country name expressed with a single character". BTW, the discussion was inspired by Requested_entries_(Chinese), e.g. 留美 to stay/study in the US. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:14, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
