Keep Antonio Chocha Hungry Martin
- Again, you obviously want to keep it because you created it. However, you should have created it in a Spanish wikidictionary, not an English wikipedia. One comes away from the article knowing only how to say 'pussy' in Spanish. Should we include every word in the Spanish language (and every other language) on en.wikipedia.org? — Chameleon 00:52, 29 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  - Authors of articles have always been allowed, so far, to vote on vfd. ~~No vote yet.~~ Wile E. Heresiarch 19:18, 29 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, but they should state that they are the author of the article, otherwise it *may* suggest dishonesty, and they should explain why they consider it important, unless they are clueless newbies of course. Dunc Harris | Talk 20:39, 29 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
      - Comment: I disagree with this point of view. No one person "authors" a Wikipedia article. No one has special rights and no one has special burdens. That said, we should all try to explain our votes more clearly than just "keep" or "delete". Rossami 03:57, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Though we have articles on the f-word, the c-word and the s-word, all of them have stuff on their cultural relevance. Keep, but only if can find similar cultural history e.g. of censorship, if not possibly merge with pussy or "slang words for vagina" or something. If not, delete.

Move to the Spanish Wikipedia and delete from the English Wikipedia. RickK 19:20, 29 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
- (Independent of the merits of this particluar article) where does this notion come from that articles about specifics of the Spanish language (or any other language) are somehow "encyclopedic" in the Spanish-language (or X-language) Wikipedia, but not in the English-language Wikipedia? -- Jmabel 03:30, 30 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Merge w/ the c-word and redirect. It is informative to give synonyms for this term in different languages; it is like studying "to be" and "to go", I dare say. Wile E. Heresiarch 20:00, 29 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
- Disagree with Wile: there are too many languages, and too many regional variants within them: the poor c-word would get swamped. Use this as the germ for Taboo words for genitalia in Spanish, but include the other sex and the other 20 Spanish-speaking countries/territories: all your chochas and chochos and coños and cajetas and conchas together in one place! –Hajor 04:13, 30 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, until there is actually a substantial section in the c-word article on foreign equivalents, I don't see a need to start a new article, and when we do, let's make not make it Spanish-specific, until, of course, there's enough language-specific stuff to split it apart. Wile E. Heresiarch 14:49, 30 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, let's go for Taboo words for genitalia in other languages. Wrt to inclusion on the cunt article, note that Chocha says it's the equivalent of English pussy, not cunt. And there is a distinction in degree between the p-word and the c-word. –Hajor 16:14, 30 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Delete from the English Wikipedia. 1) I can find no evidence that this particular word is used in English. 2) If evidence is presented showing that it is used in English discourse, then I may change my vote to "move to Wiktionary" because the current article is a dictionary definition and unlikely to become more.
