Citations talk:Tai Ji Men
The following discussion has been moved from Wiktionary:Requests for deletion (permalink).
This discussion is no longer live and is left here as an archive. Please do not modify this conversation, but feel free to discuss its conclusions.
This page was proposed for imminent deletion on the basis that the entry itself didn't pass; I think it's possible that this entry could be restored at a later time with more study of this religious sect, hence I think it's probably too soon to outright delete the citations page. To stave off the inability to reference the citations that were part of the original discussion about deletion of the original entry itself, I added those cites to the Talk page. I've never actually seen a proposal to delete (or mark for imminent deletion!) a Citations page, so please ping me if you feel I'm missing some interesting learning lesson here.

- Keep, harmless. By the way, did you ask an admin to retrieve the quotes for you or did you find the quotes all over again? ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 17:47, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- No, I just had the quotes both on the citations page and the entry page before the entry was deleted. I view the Citations page as a deep, dark place where you throw anything and everything that helps understand the usage of a word, whereas the quotes provided on an entry's page should be more focused and useful to a casual audience. In this case, I had not yet gotten beyond four quotes, so the quotes on the entry page and the Citations page were the same. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 12:52, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- RFD-kept, as there is no consensus to delete it. Indeed, citation pages can be the safe haven for terms that are doomed to fail CFI. ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 17:44, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
