Talk:Nesh

message: Good article but unfortuately I don't think it belongs in Wikipedia. See the Wikipedia policies under "what wikipedia is not" and the you'll see it clearly says it is not a dictionary, and articles should not be made simply to define a word. I think you should remove it, but I think Wikipedia also has a sister dictionary where you could post it and it would be more appropriate.
:Wiktionary already has an entry for this word. This article is not a dictionary definition but looks at the encyclopaedic aspects of its usage. I am currently developing the 'Cultural significance' section which is encyclopaedic and unsuited to Wiktionary. Further, this article is fully sourced.
:There are a couple of key sentences in WP:NOT that indicate why this type of article is permissable:
:An article should usually begin with a good definition; if you come across an article that is nothing more than a definition, see if there is information you can add that would be appropriate for an encyclopedia.  - that has been done here.
:It may be important in the context of an encyclopedia article to describe just how a word is used to distinguish among similar, easily confused ideas  TerriersFan 03:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I notice you removed my attestation to usage of 'nesh' in Shropshire, Manchester and other places. I agree that my observations of this usage (by my mother and by friends in Manchester and Yorkshire) are 'original research' but they are nonetheless true and form part of their ordinary modern-day language.

replies: text: I have copied this from my talk page in the hope that someone can source this usage. TerriersFan 04:02, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Good to see this article is NPOV *massive eye-rolling*.  I guess I missed the election for Official Dictionary Quality Judge.  I'mma Be Bold and remove/reword this bigtime if I don't get a good reason not to. CumbiaDude 03:37, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

The article was judged to be a dictionary definition. IMO it is still a dictionary definition about an adjectives. Encyclopedias do not have articles on adjectives (see WP:NAD and WP:MOS on naming). It's already been transwikied before, so it's now gone. If you want to recreate this you will need to do a deletion review.- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 03:03, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Wholly unjustified page blanking. First of all the entire text of the previous version was "Basically what northern people call those who cannot withstand the cold.". Compare this article with the Wiktionary entry. TerriersFan (talk) 17:13, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's still an adjective. Encyclopedias don't do adjectives.- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 19:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

text: No, this is an article about a word, and how the word is used; and that's all. That's a dictionary entry, not an encyclopedia entry. The Wikipedia is not a Dictionary.- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 19:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

text: Encyclopedia articles are not language specific- encyclopedia articles can be translated, because they are about abstract concepts, not linguistic ones about a word or phrase. This is a purely linguistic article about a single English word.- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 19:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This page goes way beyond a dictionary definition and deals with the concept as well as the word. Satements such as "Encyclopedias don't do adjectives" are not helpful. There are plenty of examples od adjectives in encyclopaedias; the key point is whether the content is encyclopaedic. TerriersFan (talk) 22:59, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Really, plenty of adjectives in professionally written encyclopedias? Show me even one.- Wolfkeeper 13:35, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
