Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ma
it occurs to me that this debate has more than a little Ethnocentrism|chauvinistic tone to it. Like East Asian topics are second-class citizens to "proper" English words. This is indeed the English Wikipedia, which guides the language we write ''in''; it does not drive the articles we write ''about'' nor determine which has "priority". A strong argument can be made that in an encyclopedia, a many-thousands-year-old sociocultural entity takes priority over a slang word. Also, for precedent, note that Pa is a disambiguation page, not merely a redirect-as-slang to Father. See , "A topic is primary for a term with respect to long-term significance if it has substantially greater '''enduring notability and educational value''' than any other topic associated with that term" (emphasis mine). I don't buy any of these arguments that when an English speaker utters "ma" she's probably referring to her mother, therefore delete
