hic et nunc

This is a deleted entry. Apparently it failed RFV in 2007, but nobody participated in the discussion (Talk:hic et nunc).

It can be re-created as an "English" entry for a Latin phrase, like quod erat demonstrandum, right? --Daniel Carrero (talk) 21:47, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

If I understand our criteria correctly, "English" entries for Latin phrases depend largely on how integrated the phrase is into the English. There are certainly no lack of examples where hic et nunc appears in English texts, but in most cases it is either quoted or italicized, indicating presumably that the author considered it Latin rather than English. However, I have found a number of cases where the phrase is not italicized or in quotes - especially when used as an adverb rather than as a noun:

I also found one use as an adjective that did not use quotes or italics:

And even one use as a noun:

I notice that most of these examples were published after 2007, when the phrase failed RFV, for what that's worth. Kiwima (talk) 00:20, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, I restored the entry, updated the layout and copied your quotes there. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 04:40, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
