Probably not dictionary material. --Vealhurl (talk) 10:23, 7 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

That's not a great comparison. WT:CFI is the rules here, and United Nations might not be under any of the categories under place names, but it seems to be arguably comparable. Whereas Real Academia Española isn't a place name, and seems like any number of non-generic organization names, like [[ the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD is included, though) and the American Civil Liberties Union (again, ACLU is includable.)--Prosfilaes (talk) 09:18, 16 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

WT:CFI#Names of specific entities might permit it. RFV it according to WT:CFI#Brand names and WT:CFI#Company names? Are there metonymic uses of RAE like refering to a Spanish grammar/dictionary of it? --20:49, 29 December 2020 (UTC) — This unsigned comment was added by 2003:DE:373F:4037:3C6C:85B5:850A:BEA0 (talk).

Delete. I think we only keep initialisms of institutions, organizations, etc: thus we have OED and not Oxford English Dictionary. (By the way, @Imetsia, what’s the percentage of vote needed for a word to get deleted?— I am new to this.) ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 00:58, 11 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Inqilābī: There’s no hard standard for the vote percentage, and individual admins have discretion with that. In my view, 60% or so should be enough to delete an entry. Imetsia (talk) 02:22, 11 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Imetsia: Oh. Is the editor who RFDs the word also counted in the percentage? ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 02:50, 11 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
