Question about a phrasebook entry I'd like to create - I need you

We have phrasebook entries I love you, I like you, I miss you, which seem to be safe.

Would people rfd a page I need you if I create it? If yes, then why? Just checking the moods before I waste my time adding a bunch of translations. We have too many "I need ..." entries, which upset some editors but not this one, which I think is important. I don't think we need I want you but if it's created by someone and kept, I'll add translations. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 03:32, 10 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Which sense do you mean? If your boss at work says "Bob, I need you", that's rather different from a clingy lover saying it. There may be other senses of the sentence (but not of the individual words). Equinox 07:56, 10 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
None of the uses I can think of belong in a phrasebook that meets my idea of what a phrasebook should be. But that's not worth very much.​—msh210 (talk) 19:13, 22 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
