rfd-sense: interjection: the call of a monkey. Move to wikiMonkey; keep citations (which look like they support the noun); keep noun. DCDuring TALK 18:02, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Wouldn't this require citations of a monkey actually saying the word 'pyow'. The current citations just refer to the noun a 'pyow'. I'd love to rfv this. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:26, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Maybe we should keep it for a while and put in a {{rfap}}. DCDuring TALK 22:46, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Discussion now at WT:TR#Animal noises as interjections. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:10, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

They wouldn't have to be citations of a monkey. We certainly wouldn't cite the interjection moo from a book written by a cow. Equinox ◑ 16:57, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

I think "moo" would make it under the widespread-use exception. DCDuring TALK 17:04, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Actually all animal-sound "replications" seem to differ according to the native language of the speaker, as much as that of the animal. DCDuring TALK 17:07, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Rfv-sense. Interjection. Passed rfd (Talk:pyow) but only because it's been moved to rfv instead. Initial question, do the two citations support an interjection, or a noun? Mglovesfun (talk) 20:01, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

I created this entry and now agree that an interjection would be "monkey language", not English. I'm going to move the whole lot to a noun sense. Equinox ◑ 12:28, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

if you're removing animal sounds from Interjection sections, you have a bit of work on your hands.​—msh210℠ 15:38, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

I don't think this is in the same category as (deprecated template usage) moo or (deprecated template usage) baa. I think I tried to explain that in a previous discussion about (deprecated template usage) pyow, but haven't got time to find it at the moment! Equinox ◑ 11:48, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Closing: interjection moved to noun. Equinox ◑ 16:35, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
