不折腾

Google translate makes me think it could be notable, but it hasn't been translated.  Ja Ga  talk 06:47, 19 January 2009 (UTC) *Keep for now. You think it is notable but have nominated it for deletion because it hasn't been translated for a week? I think not. Translate it, then check the notability.

 * Allow me to clarify. Google translate made a mess of it, so I'm not certain it is notable, but I suspect it is not. Therefore, I placed the article here for discussion. -- Ja Ga  talk  09:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ahh, ok. Per the translation below, DeleteIronholds (talk) 18:48, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The format makes this look a lot like a dictionary definition of "折腾" (which Google translates variously as "toss" or "toss about") with a few examples. And, indeed, Wiktionary has a definition. And no transwiki because large fragments of the text on the bottom appear to be copied directly (without attribution) from news sources.

 * Delete. This appears to be a Wiktionary-styled entry for Chinese slang use of "toss". I rather think this would qualify for an A2 speedy, though someone that can translate may want to take this back to the Chinese Wiktionary entry for "toss". — Huntster (t • @ • c) 11:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Babelfish machine translation:  Tosses about (tosses about) 1. tuck dive; Repeatedly. "Hong Lou Meng" 62nd: “if a drop minor matter then raises the bell to beat a drum, tosses about randomly, inadequate truth.” Lao She "Four generations in one household" 70: “tosses about, in his brain is only tossing about these words: `retribution! Retribution! '” pure-heart "My Student": “the gate outward opens, a window leaf cannot close! Opened has been also peaceful, settles has opened, tossed about several dozens.” 2. suffers. "Actually Ba Jin does Exploration Collection · Belong to Who": “our motherland mother, could also not withstand again such in a big way tossed about.” Chen Qitong "Long and trying journey" second: “our place's poverty-stricken person is called the warlord the prince to be fierce, the landlord two yamas toss about little eat have not put on.” 3. spends freely; Spoiling. Zhou Erfu "Shanghai's Morning" third ten: “which now in is the factory matter unable to control, the retire and make amends, which isn't the factory I, tossed about in any case these enterprises has been all right.” [fresh idea] Hu Jintao when reform and open policy 30th anniversary congress uses “not to toss about” this word, summarizes experience which and achievement the reform and open policy 30th anniversary come. “does not toss about” uses for from populace's vivid language, expressed the very profound thought connotation, expressed the party, the whole nation to walk the Chinese characteristic socialist road's determination and the will steadfastly, simultaneously will also promulgate some questions which the reform and open policy 30th anniversary existed, `tossed about ' will only waste the time, the manpower and the physical resource, firm `did not vacillate, does not idle, does not toss about ' takes the Chinese characteristic socialist road, could enable the common people to spend on the rich and populous life, the country stable prosperous.  reveals mostly that machine translation from Chinese to English is in its infancy; but this appears to index a number of definitions of a Chinese idiom.  Any notability would appear to come from Hu Jintao's using the idiom in a speech; I was able to get that much out of it.  The speech may be notable; the idiom belongs in Wiktionary as far as I can see.  If this is kept, it should be moved to a diacritical-free, Latin alphabet title. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:54, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment This is a dicdef of a regional slang phrase. It got famous because Hu Jintao used it in a speech recently (probably the first time lots of people in China had ever heard it). There may be sufficient news coverage to write an actual article, e.g. here's an English-language People's Daily article that gives more context . cab (talk) 01:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. From a Google translation of this article, I could tell that it was nothing but a dicdef, and a strange one at that. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 03:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to WikiQuote (for Hu Jintao) and Wiktionary... Wiktionary takes entries on non-English items, and If it's Hu Jintao's quote, then WikiQuote should take it. Though this needs to be translated first. 76.66.198.171 (talk) 06:34, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
