Perhaps this should just redirect to Interracial couple? Thue 21:23, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

If you do that, the pornographic code is lost. On the other hand, if the deletionists have their way, everything is lost. <KF> 06:02, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Interracial

Dicdef. And an adjective, at that. -- Jmabel 23:06, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)

Someone tried cleaning this up, but you're right...it's still a dicdef. Delete. - Lucky 6.9 00:38, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. Please refer me (a) to the policy that says that adjectives must not have articles in Wikipedia and (b) to the dictionary that has this "dicdef". Only then should you vote in favour of deletion. <KF> 05:58, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- - What you're looking for is Wiktionary at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Main_Page , a sister project to Wikipedia. This is an online dictionary that operates on the same principles as this online encyclopedia. A quick search indicates it currently has no definition of "interracial" so yours would presumedly be welcome. MK 03:16, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- An article about an adjective will usually just be a dicdef with a list of the uses, while the encyclopedic content will be under the specific uses of the adjective in conjunktion with the subject. In the case of Interracial this is a dicdef listing 2 uses of the word ("interracial marriage", "interracial sex"). So the "no adjectives" guideline follows from the "no dicdef" rule. I can't quickly find any dictionaries that list the "interracial sex" usage in pornography, but that just means they are incomplete dictionaries, not that the "interracial sex" usage is not a part of a dicdef.

(a) What Wikipedia is not, number 2: Wikipedia is not a dictionary. (b) Listed in the Meriiam Webster] online dictionary. ~~Delete dicdef.~~ SWAdair | Talk 08:04, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I say redirect to interracial couple, and make a mention of interracial sex there. The interracial sex remark is valid info to have, and by redirecting this way no info is lost. Thue 09:13, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Agree with Thue. Redirect / merge. SWAdair | Talk 09:52, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Agree: redirect. -Sean Curtin 03:01, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
