Partial merge from Goy
To explain this, please see WP:EN and this example: In ictu oculi (talk) 03:44, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * "ella fue a la fiesta" - sentence in a foreign language source
 * "she went to the fiesta" - use of a foreign language term in English
 * "she went to the party" - sentence in English.
 * What do you think should be merged? This article is about the term "goy", not the concept of a gentile. The term is used fairly frequently in English - it gets over 10,000,000 google hits. Jayjg (talk) 19:57, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * You appear to be saying that "gentile" is a merely translation of "goy", so should not have a distinct article. Well, that's not quite true. Firstly, it's an independent Latin term, in anglicised form. Secondly, it translates Greek words in the NT. Thirdly, it has its own history. Paul B (talk) 15:34, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
