Ao (color)

Mostly non-encyclopedic, and what isn't is already on Distinguishing "blue" from "green" in language. Possibly suitable for Wiktionary, although I'm not even sure of that.  –Aponar Kestrel (talk) 08:07, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Distinguishing "blue" from "green" in language. This article does seem to focus more on the word than on the concept, making it more of a dictionary entry than an encyclopedia article. If "Distinguishing..." gets longer, perhaps a split will be necessary, but not yet. Melchoir 08:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect as above. Beno1000 15:03, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep There's a fair amount that's about ao but not about "blue": "Aomori" (see the derivation cited in Aomori Prefecture), "youth," "hollyhock" (which might be irrelevant). Seems ok to keep it separate from "Distinguishing." Fg2 07:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

The content that moves me to think it deserves a separate article is not about the color, so the article might need a name change. Fg2 07:32, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• keep please this is very interesting information Yuckfoo 18:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep if expanded otherwise merge & redirect. I'm kind of torn here, there is a lot of good information in this article that could be merged into the blue/green article, but I also like it on its own. Crypticfirefly 01:11, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Distinguishing "blue" from "green" in language as per Horay. ShizuokaSensei 03:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment If we redirect this to DBFG(L), what should we do with the content that is not relevant? Fg2 07:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • The content not relevant to DBFG(L) is, from what I can see, the information regarding what fresh fruit is sometimes called, and the Hollyhock information. These look to me like Dicdefs. The information regarding the colour Aoi sometimes representing youth probably can't stand on it's own as an article, so what would people suggest doing with it?

• Merge into Distinguishing_"blue"_from_"green"_in_language, and redirect there. LjL 20:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge AND transwiki all info Everything except the Hollyhock stuff at the end is perfectly relevent to the article about blue and green. In English we use "green" as a word for new... "greens" as a word for veggies.. and even weird things like salad days to describe the greeness of youth. Japanese equicalents of all of these terms are mentioned in the article. You could contrast with "aoitori". --Kunzite 03:45, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
