List of words and phrases alleged to be derived from misunderstandings

More listcruft; overlong title. Add an note to each of the entries' pages if needed, but there's no need for a list. Hirudo 19:18, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. -- Grafikm_fr 19:26, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
weakest of keeps. Could grow into an interesting list. Needs a better title, though. Grutness...wha? 00:25, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete the title says it all alleged, i.e. unverifable nonsense. How about a list of big list of alleged facts ? Megapixie 00:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Megapixie took the words right out of my mouth. Fluit 01:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Abstain Spikebrennan 05:38, 23 April 2006 (UTC) I created this article in the first place, so call my vote a "keep" if that doesn't constitute a conflict of interest. In defense of this list, I'll point out that thus far, it consists of a summary of information taken from other Wikipedia articles: for example, the inclusion of Yucatan on the list references the Yucatan article-- in other words, to the extent that any item on the list is unverifiable, that's because the source article is unverifiable. Furthermore, the purpose of this list is to gather together instances of words sharing a particular characteristic of folk etymology. Finally, I have no problem whatsoever with changing the title of the article.[reply]
Keep, interesting aspect of folk etymology, the fact that these terms are alleged to be derived from errors is easily verifiable from third-party sources. Kappa 10:11, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
