ユダヤ主義

"Judaism; Semitism". Religious isms are -教, other (political, etc.) isms are -主義. —suzukaze (t・c) 09:16, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

• I note that google:"ユダヤ主義" -"反ユダヤ主義" finds plenty of use -- even after explicitly filtering out 反ユダヤ主義 (han Yudaya shugi, “anti-semitism”). google books:"ユダヤ主義" -"反ユダヤ主義" also generates plenty of hits.

I think the core issue here is that the entry creator doesn't appear to know either Japanese or Wiktionary conventions very well. This particular Japanese term does exist, but the meaning is more like Semitism or Zionism -- Judaism refers more to the religion, which (as you rightly note) would be ユダヤ教 (Yudaya-kyō) instead. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 07:41, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

• Poking around, it seems that Mekikin (talk • contribs) has made several hundred edits on the JA Wikt, mostly on Hebrew entries, but they have never responded to posts on their Talk page there. Perhaps it's not that their Japanese is weak, so much as their English? Or perhaps both? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 07:51, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
  • Their new Hebrew entries on jawikt are mostly obvious SoP. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 20:40, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
• @Eirikr: I think we can count this as RFV passed based on the fact that citations can be found, but it wouldn't hurt to add them to the entry. More importantly, could you please come up with a better definition (and maybe a gloss)? Thank you! —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 04:46, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

  @Eirikr: Re-pinging so this can be closed. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 06:01, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

I wonder why no dictionary has 教 as a suffix. Looking at w:ja:Category:宗教, it definitely deserves to be defined as such. Nibiko (talk) 11:32, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

I've updated it to use the alternate definition suggested above, and removed the tag per the comments that this is citable. - -sche (discuss) 01:22, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
