Talk:Inappropriateness

Proposed merge with Inappropriateness
This article is little more than a dictionary definition, it might be better as an additional definition on Wictionary. Salimfadhley (talk) 16:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I strongly disagree. This article is an almost direct antonym to the article modesty. By that respect, modesty should be deleted too. It is currently a stub but the million and a half google-books search returns suggest that this article can be improved immensely. You are jumping the gun my friend.

 * The word has other meanings besides immodesty. For example, "unsuitable" or "badly matched". Just because something is a real word, doesn't follow that we have to have an encyclopedia article about it. --Salimfadhley (talk) 13:36, 21 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment, is this page meant to be at Talk:Inappropriateness? There is no wiki article called Wkt:Inappropriateness at the moment, but I think the interwiki link you're looking for is .  Seagull123  Φ  20:59, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, did you mean to use Template:Copy to Wiktionary?  Seagull123  Φ  21:09, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * , yes that is what I meant to do. It's subject that would make a perfectly good Wictionary article. I'm just not convinced that it's a great subject for a Wikipedia article. One problem with articles about English words is that they sometimes have a multiplicity of meanings. This is the problem that dictionaries solve best. --Salimfadhley (talk) 13:36, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * For multiple (encyclopaedic) meanings we have disambiguation. For others we have a cross-reference to Wiktionary.
 * Inappropriateness is a major trope in late 20th and early twenty-first century Western liberal society, and, on its face, worthy of an article.
 * All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:34, 30 December 2015 (UTC).
