The result was delete. Support here for transwiki is pretty underwhelming, and since the word does not occur in the OED, I don't see it. I'll provide the content for any wiktionarian who disagrees, however. Chick Bowen 06:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mensiversary[edit]

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and even if it were, this word is a neologism not in standard dictionaries (see discussion by Google answers. YechielMan 00:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible transwiki to Wiktionary per nom. Big top 00:58, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki. It's not a neologism - according to Google Books, the editor of The Cornhill Magazine (either George Smith or William Makepeace Thackeray) used it some time between 1860 and 1862, as did the Rt. Hon. James Mackintosh in 1836. Not surprisingly, it was also a favourite of William F. Buckley. It is, however, a dicdef, and therefore should go to Wiktionary.

Comment I agree with Yechieman, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, I think transferring it to wikipedia is a good idea :) Rasillon 16:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki as the sources seem sufficient to establish its existence, if not huge popularity. If anyone could add some discussion of customs or history of monthly celebrations, it could stand as an encyclopedia article. There is the Month's Mind (which was notable enough for the EB 1911, although it has no oncoming links), can anyone think of others? If not, perhaps a redirect to month and a mention of it there.

Delete - Delete as a Neologism -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:59, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki. I actually saw this word used in William Buckley's column in National Review a few years ago. I've used it myself to replace the jarring phrase "six-month anniversary." Still, it's just a definition and will likely never be more, so I'd say move it to Wiktionary. Coemgenus 20:32, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Move - Agree with the comments above. It's a definition and should be placed on Wikitionary. Tellyaddict ^Talk20:51
