A short explanation of why a term is listed here would probably be useful. SemperBlotto 07:41, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Keep, No idea why this was nominated. It's in my Dutch dictionaries an an adjective/pronoun (what the CGEL would calla Determiner). I have cleaned up the entry and see no reason for it to be deleted. --EncycloPetey 08:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Connel had written “this isn’t a word itself?” after a ‘|’ in the {{rfd}} (he’d probably forgotten, as I have more than once, that such comments don’t appear in rfd tags like they do in rfc and other ones) — I’m assuming, as the entry did seem to imply at the time, that Connel interpreted this as an entry describing the common element of two pronouns, but which itself did not exist independently, and which therefore warranted deletion (or movement to -zelfde as a Dutch suffix). Seems like an honest mistake to me. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 11:11, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Would it then be possible/warranted to adjust {{rfd}} to display such text (c.f. w:template:db-reason). Some javascript wizardry to import any given reasons to here as the starting point when using the "add" link would also be useful for situations like this (if it is possible). feel free to move this comment to the Grease Pit if it would better fit there Thryduulf 16:52, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Precisely; I was under the mistaken impression that we still had the version of {{rfd}} that displays the first parameter, like numerous other cleanup templates do (and perhaps all should.) Indeed, from that revision, it looked like only a common element of two separate words but not a word itself. The Javascript idea is interesting, but trickier. You are right; that should be doable. And yes, that should be a separate discussion in the grease pit (so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.) Thank you EncycloPetey for the clean-up...nicely done. RFD rescinded. --Connel MacKenzie 17:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
