Sheep-Fat-Oily White Jade

Apparent neologism; the only sources I could find are mirrors of the single source cited by this article. Basa lisk inspect damage⁄berate 15:18, 5 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment Seems to be an accidental neologism for mutton fat jade, which is actually mentioned (and cited from NYT) in Jade already. There's also an article on Nephrite (sounds like kidney fat, doesn't it); and "White jade" and "Yangzhi jade" are also common terms (e.g. The Telegraph which also mentions "Mutton fat jade") so they may deserve at least their own Redirects also. The sheep/mutton fat jade has plenty of possible sources e.g. Timeless Jade, China Briefing, White Jade Carvings at British Auctions, and helpful blogs (I know) like Mutton fat white jade. Possible actions would include rename to Mutton fat jade, or redirect to one of Jade, Nephrite or for that matter Chinese jade. Yeah, it's a bit of a muddle already.

 * Wasn't Nephrite that Egyptian chick? EEng (talk) 00:34, 6 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment This kind of looks like a content fork. My accidental neologism, do you mean this may be a translation error? Roodog2k (talk) 16:16, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, yes, I do, but I wasn't going to be so unkind as to say so, given the likely input from non-native speakers. And you're probably right about the content fork. I think a set of redirects (MFJ -> Nephrite, WJ ditto) could sort this out nicely. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:31, 5 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Rename and Redirect: Rename to Mutton fat jade, which is a widely-used term, and make that a Redirect to Nephrite. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:59, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Nothing here worth saving; the topic is already well-covered in numerous articles about jade, as noted above. In particular, the contents of this article duplicates that in Ancient Old Jade (which badly needs editing, but that's not an AfD issue). No redirect is needed. -- 202.124.75.87 (talk) 12:38, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - This is a very specific noun — a definite thing. There seem to be a massive number of hits for "Sheep-Fat-Oily White Mutton Jade." It's over my head, but I'm solidly convinced that this is any encyclopedic topic, regardless of the limitations of this particular article. Carrite (talk) 04:24, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect - Whoops, IP202 is on it, this is a fork of Ancient Old Jade, which includes a section on sheep-fat-oily white jade. Carrite (talk) 04:26, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect per above. Brambleberry of RiverClan Chat ♠ Watch 19:26, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Here's the catch, though: it didn't until this set of edits. Promotion? - The Bushranger One ping only 22:13, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * One editor desperately trying to introduce fringe material to wikipedia any way he can? Hands up if you've seen that pattern before...redirect this and remove the information added to Ancient Old Jade. Basa lisk  inspect damage⁄berate 22:30, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
