OK, done. Sorry about that; didn't notice the Dutch part. — SGconlaw (talk) 13:12, 3 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


English entry defined as "Someone who is intolerant of others’ spelling mistakes." Shall this be deleted as sum of parts? I am not voting delete yet. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:42, 26 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Already being discussed above under 'spelling nazi' (uncapitalised). Korn (talk) 22:42, 26 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
The above discussion (currently at #spelling nazi) is for a Dutch entry. Admittedly, some of the may be similar. --Dan Polansky (talk) 06:09, 27 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
To get the discussion going for the English entry: we have grammar Nazi and there may be language Nazi (now redlink). What are some other uses of this meaning of "Nazi"? We don't say these things in Czech so the existence of these terms seems lexically significant to me. If this use of Nazi is not broadly productive, I think the terms should be kept. The translations in grammar Nazi are interesting, provided they are correct: Dutch taalnazi (language Nazi), Swedish språkpolis (language police).
spelling Nazi entry has Finnish pilkunviilaaja (pilkku (“comma”) + viilata (“to file, cut with a file”) + -ja (“-er”). --Dan Polansky (talk) 06:24, 27 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Delete, doesn't have the meme status of grammar Nazi. --Barytonesis (talk) 10:08, 13 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Deleted: it's been more than a month since nomination, and I'm seeing consensus that this is sum-of-parts. — SGconlaw (talk) 14:54, 1 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
