Dominee[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Belongs in Wiktionary, not Wikipedia (dominee is actually the Dutch word for minister, and apparently the Afrikaans word as well). QVVERTYVS (hm?) 19:20, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Rather redirect this word to Dominie - currently a stub which also mentions the word. Martinvl (talk) 20:41, 24 June 2013 (UTC)~~ Martinvl (talk) 06:01, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

*Redirect to Dominie, which seems to describe the same term, per Martinvl. -- 202.124.89.4 (talk) 01:33, 25 June 2013 (UTC) Martinvl (talk) 06:01, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this belongs in Wiktionary, as does the similar word dominie, which also has a Wikipedia article of its own. I created the dominee article because it is a distinct word from dominie (each have their own separate entries in the OED), without realising that Wiktionary is the better place for both. Can the dominie article also be deleted as a result of this discussion, as exactly the same logic applies, or do we have to start a new, identical, discussion for that?

You may use ((Db-g7)) as the author of this article. — Lfdder (talk) 08:11, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I repeat my redirect to Dominie !vote, which was struck out above. My !vote for Dominie is keep, if this AfD is going to be extended to that article. Dominie is not just a word, it's a notable social role in Dutch Reformed and Scottish communities, which has lots of book references (see e.g. James D. Bratt, Dutch Calvinism in Modern America: A History of a Conservative Subculture). Db-g7 does not apply to Dominie, which has had more than a dozen contributors. -- 202.124.89.33 (talk) 08:24, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As dominie and dominee are English words with different meanings, each with independent entries in the OED and other dictionaries, it would be inaccurate and misleading to redirect dominee to dominie. Up and in (talk) 18:14, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both dominie and dominee refer to the same concept: Dutch Reformed pastors. "Dominie" also has a wider scope. The article dominie is about the concept, and dominee should redirect to it. Your OED argument applies only to wiktionary (where there should indeed be two entries). -- 202.124.73.2 (talk) 02:03, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a proposal that the article Pastor be merged into the article Minister (Christianity). A few extra words in the section Minister (Christianity)#Dominie, Dom, Don will probably include everything of value in the article Dominee. The few entries in Wikipedia that use the word dominee can easily be linked to Minister (Christianity) instead. Martinvl (talk) 05:53, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's well outside the topic of this AfD debate. And what's with striking out other people's !votes? -- 202.124.75.6 (talk) 06:32, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Editors interested in this discussion may also be interested in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dominie. Cnilep (talk) 00:11, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
TRanswikify to dictionary then redirect to Minister (Christianity)#Dominie, Dom, Don, or do I merely need to say Minister (Christianity). Martinvl's proposals would be an appropriate prelude to deletion, but a redirect will be simpler. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:33, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
