Tagged with {{d}} by User:Poketalker with the comment, "Should be an irregular reading". Poketalker's rationale is correct – つく is not a standard reading of 月 – but unless I miss my guess, categories need to be discussed here rather than speedily deleted. (If I do miss my guess, any sysop should be free to delete the category page.) Cnilep (talk) 01:15, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
- I tend to delete empty categories which have deletion requests on sight if the request is from the creator or if it was created by a bot. Otherwise I generally switch to RFD for discussion. - TheDaveRoss 17:17, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
- See also Talk:月#Japanese. The tsuku reading for 月 is certainly rare, but it's not entirely obsolete: it still appears in modern resources as part of the term 月読 (Tsukuyomi, “god of the moon”, see the earlier version of that entry here), and it appears as an archaic -- but not obsolete -- reading for 月夜 (tsukuyo, “moonlit night”, modern reading of tsukiyo). So while this category will never be very large, it shouldn't be empty. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 21:39, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
