Talk:Gramogram

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as being about a subject that was invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally and for lack of asserted importance, because... I did research about it, and no offense meant, i tried my best for this some i could remember for later, and help someone out. I think it is pretty good for now. Please don't delete it, if your offended and i will try to make it gender neutral if so. --Sir10Shawn (talk) 20:29, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

I've now played around with this quite a lot, found sources, especially under alternative spelling "Grammagram". I still have a sneaky feeling that there might be another name for these, out there somewhere... ! But I can't find any Wikipedia article including "FUNEX", so perhaps not. This has been fun - and has played havoc with my New Year's Eve resolution to clear up a lot of Real Life backlogs and not spend too much time on Wikipedia! PamD 12:15, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

The article has a source dating back to 2010 before the article was created by BBC News, but it has no mention of Gramogram. If there was, I'd be wondering if BBC lied about the date or if it was used notably prior to the article's creation. 207.81.187.41 (talk) 03:13, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

A list of gramograms

https://www.highlightpress.com.au/gramograms.html just add it in — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sir10Shawn (talk • contribs) 19:16, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Examples

The sections of this article are lists of examples of gramograms, but they seem more like attempts at exhaustive lists of all gramograms. Since there is in principle an infinite amount of them, I'd say this amounts to WP:Indiscriminate. Why even include the 'forced' examples? (this is not explained in the article, but I'm assuming 'forced' here means that these would never be used naturally?) Lennart97 (talk) 14:15, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Same question. It seems too many for the purpose of “example”. Franklin Yu (talk) 00:04, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

List removed

The list of gramograms has been removed and replaced with something different, why was ir deleted? theawesomepikachu20 (talk) 18:19, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

It's not been replaced, it was just removed with a summary of "example farm", by a user who cut the article down to a dictionary definition and then put it up for deletion for being a dictionary definition.

The article doesn't need all 200 original examples, but exploring the different ways in which gramograms are formed (where each letter is a word, where letters are grouped into words, where a forced structure doesn't really work but it still sees usage, etc) wouldn't hurt. --Lord Belbury (talk) 19:23, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

I have to say, that person who deleted the list deleted 4 kilobytes (5 if rounded but who cares) of data! Some of it could be useful! If all edits were like this size, the whole of Wikipedia would change every time you reload! (exaggeration) --Officialyeetboi (talk) 08:00, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
