Delete or retarget[edit]

Latine is not a synonym for Latinx, and shouldn't redirect to it. In French, it has several meanings, one being the feminine singular adjective. In Italian, it is the feminine plural of the noun and the adjective latino. But in English, it doesn't mean any of those things, or indeed, anything at all; it is not found in large dictionaries of the English language.

It's not clear what someone would be searching for, who typed latine into a search box; perhaps it would just be a typo. Probably this page should be deleted, or if kept it should be retargeted to Latin (disambiguation). Mathglot (talk) 10:15, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree; synonyms aren't the only valid kinds of redirects. None of the most likely targets listed at Latin (disambiguation), such as Latin, Latino, Latin Americans, or Romance languages (whose speakers are referred to using French and Italian latine) have any information relating to the standalone term Latine. Latinx does, however. Redirecting there with a hatnote linking to the DAB page should assist readers looking for information about the gender-neutral term, with only a minor inconvenience for sloppy typists who meant, say, Latina or Latins. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 22:25, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe they’re just looking for Lateen. Disagree all you want, the point is, it’s all speculation and we don’t know. In a case like that, we take them to the disambig page where they can decide for themself, not to a page about a neologism that has existed for six years, when Latine and it’s variants have existed for two thousand.

This is the English Wikipedia, not the French/Italian/Classical Latin Wikipedia. Misspelled words like lateen are what hatnotes are for. I've started an RfD for this term here. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 23:13, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
