Latest comment: 12 years ago by Liliana-60 in topic crankcase emission control system
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Should be deleted as SoP. See: discussion for karteri õhutussüsteem above. --Hekaheka 09:34, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- keep, because it belongs to the vocabulary of the English language. But a real definition should be added. Lmaltier 21:50, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Delete; at the least, it's a crankcase emission control system, and probably even a crankcase emission control system. Very SoP.--Prosfilaes 23:12, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Delete on same grounds. Lots of things belong to the vocabulary of the English language that should not be in dictionaries. I've given examples before. Equinox ◑ 23:15, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Not in ordinary dictionaries, for space reason. But in a dictionary aiming to be complete, yes. Lmaltier 07:03, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- I don't believe it's for space reasons but because professional dictionary compilers are also aware about sums of parts being pointless to include. Equinox ◑ 16:45, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- It's in some dictionaries, see http://translation.babylon.com/english/to-arabic/Crankcase_emission_control_system/ Nobody can guess that this thing is called this way, this is why I consider that this is a technical term of the English language (and I understand that you agree). Imagine a technical writer or a translator who does not know this term, but needs it, and tries to find the right term. A good reflex could be: let's consult the Wiktionary categories. But this can work only if the term is present. Lmaltier 17:19, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

- Strong delete. Sum of parts. No proper definition. Useless. SemperBlotto 17:23, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- Useless? Clearly, you're not in the situation I describe above. With a proper definition and appropriate categories, it would be useful. Lmaltier 18:22, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- Should karteri õhutussüsteem be un-deleted then? --Hekaheka 18:51, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know. If it's a technical term belonging to the vocabulary of the language, yes, I think so. Again, categories deserve much more attention. The added value of the Wiktionary would be invaluable. Lmaltier 19:19, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- Is there any attestable phrase that is not part of the vocabulary of a language in your view? Is being a phrase even a requirement or are non-constituents OK, too? DCDuring TALK 22:49, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- Don't you see the difference between a set phrase and something such as blue bicycle or his bicycle? The only difference between this technical term and a technical term such as brake is that is includes spaces. Lmaltier

- Delete entry which apparently can escape being SoP only by being encyclopedically wrong. DCDuring TALK 22:48, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
deleted. -- Liliana • 16:50, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
