silver jubilee

(deprecated template usage) silver + (deprecated template usage) jubilee. We should have the table of these things according to the customs in various cultures. DCDuring TALK 17:17, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

We lack the sense of silver, though I agree we shouldn't. If the definitions we have are right — which I doubt — that jubilee is a generic anniversary whereas silver jubilee is especially a monarch's, then keep. Otherwise, delete as SOP.​—msh210℠ 18:11, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

An appendix sounds like a great idea to me, although this isn't exactly bowling me over as unidiomatic. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:19, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Keep: it is only by providing the meaning of "silver jubilee" at "silver" that this becomes a sum of parts. Or does "silver" in this sense combine with anything else but "jubilee"? Also for those who care: “silver jubilee”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.. --Dan Polansky 17:34, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Silver combines with anniversary.​—msh210℠ 04:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Keep. see also in Wikipedia. Peleg 17:14, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Delete Silver combines with jubilee, anniversary, wedding, feast, etc. —Michael Z. 2010-03-15 18:25 z

Agree, then. But in that case, we should give silver another definition there. Peleg 20:26, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Done.[1] Note that silver wedding (not a wedding) and silver-feast (not just a feast) are idiomatic, while silver jubilee and silver anniversary, etc are sum-of-parts. These all come to English from the German silberhochzeit, silberne hochzeit. —Michael Z. 2010-03-25 20:43 z
